🚨A Border Patrol agent, in the Florida Keys, has been caught on video... multiple times... racially profiling, assaulting, [View all]

So little has changed with ICE over the last year--still CRUEL with no consequences for their actions.



🚨A Border Patrol agent, in the Florida Keys, has been caught on video… multiple times… racially profiling, assaulting, and illegally arresting U.S. citizens.

The agent pulls over a car, removes the driver, who is a U.S. citizen, and handcuffs him…

Then, in the video, he is seen trying to forcefully handcuff the passenger, too… again, a U.S. citizen… with no clear justification.

Another agent is heard yelling that he’s going to tase the passenger if he doesn’t comply, while they’re illegally handcuffing the U.S. citizen.

The person in the back seat starts, saying, “this is f*cking crazy,” trying to document what’s happening, and the moment the agent notices he is recording, he tells him to stop and tries to grab his phone.

Recording law enforcement, in public, is protected under the First Amendment… and trying to seize someone’s phone to stop that recording is unconstitutional.

Even the person being handcuffed says, “Hey, you can’t take his phone…” because that’s how obviously illegal that action is.

And after all of that… the illegal stop, the force, the arrests… they were all released, because none of it should’ve happened to begin with.

And if this were an isolated incident, that would already be a problem… but it’s not.

Two weeks later, the same agent is recorded AGAIN, pulling over the same U.S. citizens…

So, this is where it stops being about one bad stop, and starts looking like something bigger…

Because when the same agents are caught, on camera, violating the Constitution… over and over… and nothing happens to them…

You no longer have those Constitutional rights.
