(21,528 posts)Do they ever ask for proof of citizenship from anyone? Should be illegal for them to wear
masks, change the law to where they have to wear name tags and no masks.

(1,658 posts)Article doesn't say what happened to her, but this is my guess what they'll charge her with.

(50,073 posts)They don't care about citizenship or when they make illegal U-turns and ram into a law abiding person driving normally. And then arrest that person for no reason. These ICE dudes are committing plenty of crimes.

I hope the DUer sees that her brother found her. But how many are literally disappearing?
Soon we need to think of implementing a buddy system. I am glad we all have cell phones nowadays...it is helping chronicle.

WGN is not naming the employee, as station policy requires blurring faces and not identifying those who have not been charged with a crime."
snip-" According to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, the WGN employee, who is also a U.S. citizen, allegedly threw objects at a Border Patrol car. She was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer. "

(3,467 posts)The WGN employee who they accused of throwing something at their car was Debbie Brockman. She was thrown to the ground and then handcuffed and thrown in the van w/ a man they had just scooped up.
I think these same brown shirts are the ones that hit the car and dragged a woman out of her car. Her brother posted that he located her.
Isn't it sad and scary that there are so many of these incidents in a few days.
