'Filming ICE is one of the most American things you can do right now -- no matter what DOJ says'd

[EarlG]

1. This is absolutely correct

I saw a video recently taken by a woman whose DoorDash delivery driver had run inside her house -- ICE had shown up and tried to snatch the delivery driver. ICE wanted to enter the house, and of course didn't have a warrant. The woman refused to let them in and called 911. The local sheriff's department told her that she should just obey ICE, and that nobody from the department would be showing up to help.

This left the woman -- in her own home -- with a DoorDash delivery driver in the basement, and masked, armed men outside demanding to be let inside. She didn't want to release the delivery driver, who was basically paralyzed with fear at that point, but she also didn't want to have her front door smashed in and her house ransacked by armed, warrantless thugs just because she'd decided to order takeout.

What seemed to end the standoff was that as the situation progressed, neighbors started coming out their homes to see what was going on, and a large crowd of locals, all filming the situation, began to gather. At that point, ICE backed off and left.

The local police did nothing to help the woman whose home was being trespassed. What saved the day were regular people with cellphones.

I applaud the people who have the guts to document what ICE is doing.
