BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

We’ll see if this all shakes out. I’m assuming it’s true, but you know what they say about assumptions.
And ANOTHER update, same source: The Department of Homeland Security has released a statement regarding the arrest, which states that the man they took into custody is accused of “punching a CBD officer,” during protests in Paramount, CA.
What about the other two people who were arrested? And what about causing an accident on a busy street?
