New ICE tactic (read: lie) in Minnesota: everyone they're supposedly after is a "sex offender" [View all]

I've seen at least four or five videos taken yesterday or today in which an ICE agent says "You know who we're here for? A sex offender! Why are you protecting a sex offender? Do you know who you're defending?"

These were videos of different ICE agents engaging a member of the public who is recording them / citizen observers. They appear to be in completely different locations and at different times.

Conclusion: This is obviously a talking point that these shitheads have been given to use with people questioning them. In one ase, the ICE agent wanted to arrest the observer for using a whistle! When she challenged him, he went into the whole "You're protecting a sex offender" bit. Noem was emphasizing sex offenders on the talkies this weekend as well.

In at least two videos, the person recorded turned it around on them: Why don't you go arrest your President, then.
