    A woman in medical scrubs who was driving on U.S. 1 in the Florida Keys Wednesday morning was stopped by federal immigration agents and forcibly removed from her car, despite screaming she was an American citizen.

    About 9:15 a.m. in Key Largo, in front of the Pink Plaza at mile marker 103.4, federal agents stopped the woman driving a white Toyota Corolla and surrounded the vehicle. Video recorded by a Miami Herald reporter shows an agent pulling the woman from her car. Agents with ICE, CBP and U.S Border Patrol could be seen. She can be heard screaming as agents attempted to handcuff her.

    “I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me,” she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. “This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?”

    Agents then placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was released a short time later.

    detaining people without particularized probable cause is unlawful

    After agents removed the woman from her car, they found her driver’s license in the vehicle, ran it through their system and confirmed she is a U.S. citizen, Regalado said.

    He would not specify the criteria agents were using to justify pulling people over during the operation, which has been ongoing in the Key Largo area for the past few weeks.

    “We can’t go into specifics bout what we’re going to look for,” Regalado said.

    the frequency of this happening suggests the point of immigration sweeps is to intimidate US citizens

    but it could have the opposite effect

    A video obtained by CNN appears to show masked federal agents chasing a 22-year-old woman, who says she's a U.S.-born citizen, back to her home in Marrero.

    The woman — identified as Jacelynn—told CNN she was born and raised in Marrero. She said she was walking home from the grocery store when the agents tried to approach her.

    She is seen running toward her front door as agents emerge from nearby unmarked vehicles and follow her, and she can be heard telling them to leave her alone.

    “I got spooked by how fast they pulled up,” Jacelynn told CNN. “Two people came out, and they were like ‘Ma’am, ma’am, come here, please,’ and I kept yelling at them saying, ‘I’m legal! I’m a US born citizen! Please, leave me alone! I’m going home, my daughter is in the house. My baby is waiting for me!’”

    “They were trying to tell me to wait, but I did not trust them one bit, especially since I’m a woman and I’m alone, and they are masked men surrounding me,” Jacelynn added. “I tried to walk away, then another car pulled up, and a bunch of men hopped out, which was even more scary for me, so I ran, and he chased after me.”

    The video then shows her stepfather confronting the agents. After a brief exchange, they return to their vehicles and drive off.

    It’s still unclear why the agents targeted her. CNN and WWL have requested more information from the Department of Homeland Security.

    “I just don’t understand how they’re allowed to do that. It’s harassment and attempted kidnapping. I felt like he kept trying to get closer to grab me because when I ran and looked back, he had his arms out,” Jacelynn told CNN.

    DHS is out of control

    On November 16, after Martinez photographed federal agents in public places around the city, Border Patrol officers stopped his car and told him to step out “voluntarily.” When Martinez refused and drove away, agents chased him for nearly two miles through busy streets.


    Video shows ICE agents suggesting smashing Martinez’s vehicle and imagining him being shot. They laughed that the chase was “fun,” even as Martinez swerved into oncoming traffic and medians to avoid crashes. Martinez was arrested and charged with two felonies. A court later dismissed the charge accusing him of using his vehicle as a deadly weapon, finding that it was federal agents who tried to hit Martinez with their vehicles, not the other way around.

    evil bigots tearing American families and communities apart

    Thi Bui, a resident who was born at the end of the war, came to the U.S. as a refugee at age 3 and lives in New Orleans. She told Scripps News this DHS operation feels like a betrayal for the community that has sought refuge here and has had a significant cultural impact on cities like New Orleans.


    "The folks who came here in the 70s were allies of the U.S. in a proxy war that the U.S. got involved in, you know, probably shouldn't have gotten involved in, but because the U.S. was there, now the refugees of that war have to come here," she said. "And they rebuilt their lives from scratch, and now this is their home. It's been over 50 years that the Vietnamese have been in the U.S. and in New Orleans. They've raised families, opened businesses, become part of the culture, the fabric of this country. And now they're getting ripped apart. Their families are getting torn apart. They are in a constant state of dread. And it's really hard to live like that."

    racist thugs targeting Americans based on skin tint


    If you rolled past Bedrosian Park after the final bell rang at Waukegan High School on any given weekday this fall, you were likely to find Diego Rosales and his mop of unruly black hair, basketball in hand, permanently grinning and playing down to the level of local middle-schoolers. Until Oct. 6, when Rosales watched two dark SUVs come to an abrupt stop while he waited for the bus to school.

    Rosales brought his eyeglasses to his nose just in time to see three White men in green fatigues, cloth masks and body armor emerging from the vehicles with pistols on their hips. They stared and then rushed toward him.

    His first thought was to run home to his mother. She had warned him that even though he was a U.S. citizen, born in this city on the northern outskirts of Chicago 15 years ago, the streets were no longer safe for people who looked like him. Federal agents had arrived in the Chicago area and were arresting people first and asking questions later, she told him.

    Surveillance footage from a nearby school captured Rosales in full sprint, curving around a building and through a parking lot, backpack in hand, the agents trailing by a stride. After a three-block race, they tackled the teenager to the pavement and shouted a question:

    “Where were you born?”

    Rosales didn’t return to Bedrosian Park in October, refusing to leave his home for fear of meeting immigration agents again. The Department of Homeland Security’s Operation Midway Blitz was still in full force. And while Secretary Kristi L. Noem recently said no U.S. citizens were detained in the crackdown, Rosales and numerous other Latinos in the Chicago area say their experiences show that is not true. Some, like Rosales, were stopped for no apparent reason than for officers to question their status in the United States.

    How many U.S. citizens were stopped or arrested during Midway Blitz and other recent enforcement operations is not known. DHS did not respond to requests for comment on the incidents described in this story and has not provided any figures. The Washington Post identified several cases of U.S. citizens being targeted by immigration enforcement agents that are do ented in video and witness accounts. Lawyers and community leaders said there are many others involving people too frightened to come forward.

    Some of those targeted now wonder if there is still a place for them in the U.S.

    “I’m disappointed about what America has come down to,” Rosales said. “I thought the president was supposed to protect us, but he only made things worse for Hispanics.”

    The Supreme Court recently cleared a path for immigration officers to use skin color as a factor in determining whom to stop and ask about their legal status, stretching DHS powers far beyond that of traditional policing guardrails. Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh wrote that if lawful residents were picked up in raids, their detention would only result in a temporary inconvenience. Officers would see that they were in the country legally and release them.

    But in Chicago and elsewhere, Latino U.S. citizens and lawful residents describe being detained for hours, and in some cases, days. Others were not detained, but say they were assaulted because of the color of their skin.

    Upon being tackled, Rosales stammered that he was a U.S. citizen, born in Waukegan. And then, just as abruptly as the agents entered his world, he said, they vanished.

    DHS sued for indiscriminate use of chemical irritants in Portland

    The Trump administration has been sued over claims federal agents harmed families by firing chemical agents near an apartment building as part of an attempt by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to impress conservative influencers.

    Since the summer, the use of force by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents has escalated around a federal facility in Portland, Oregon, with the deployment of tear gas, pepper balls, and chaotic tactics that even hit peaceful crowds. A new lawsuit alleges that their use has affected residents living near the facility.

    A resident of the Gray's Landing apartment building directly across the street from the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility shields his eyes as officers confront protesters on June 19, 2025.Jan Sonnenmair/Jan Sonnenmair/Getty Images

    The complaint, filed Dec. 5 by REACH Community Development and nine residents of Gray’s Landing in Portland, Oregon, argues that, for the past six months, federal agents have “indiscriminately deploy[ed tear gas], smoke grenades, pepper balls, and other chemical agents in mass volume,” with fumes that “seep through windows and vents, ac ulate in hallways and bedrooms, and bind to walls, carpets, clothing, furniture, and children’s toys.”

    It details yellow gas clouds, persistent coughs, burning eyes and throats, dizziness, and headaches.

    Comedian to Sue Over ICE Arrest While Dressed as a Giraffe




    Some deployments were “not to address any real danger,” according to the complaint, but to ”put on a show for conservative ‘influencers’” who had been invited by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and DHS to the ICE facility “to film the protests for propaganda purposes.”

    They have included Benny Johnson, a pro-Trump social media personality from Florida, with 4 million X followers, and Trump ally Nick Sortor, who were mocked in October after filming Noem on the roof of the facility looking down at what Johnson called an “army of antifa,” but was actually just two small groups of peaceful protesters—and a man in a chicken suit.

    The deployment of munitions is said to have left children at Gray’s Landing living in fear, led some people living there to fall ill, while military veterans and domestic violence survivors living with PTSD said that “each gassing…serves as a new triggering event," the filing says.

    “The sudden, loud explosions next to their apartments, and plumes of gas and other chemical agents, provoke horrifying PTSD reactions. Other residents have experienced extreme anxiety and panic attacks from the gases invading their homes,” it reads.

    The complaint alleges that the actions by federal agents are also uncons utional: “It should go without saying that, under our Cons ution, the federal government may not knowingly release poison gas into the homes of citizens who are simply trying to go about their lives.”

    Yet the suit alleges that federal agents “shoot their munitions directly toward Gray’s Landing,” knowing that the building “is in the line of fire and that its residents will be exposed,” although they “do not care.”

    When a building representative confronted agents about the impact on residents, the suit claims, “the officers laughed and told her that they only use gases that are ‘environmentally friendly.’” It also alleges officers fired “pepper bullets into the backs of retreating protesters.”

    One resident, Jane Doe, a domestic abuse survivor “once…shot in the head at point-blank range by her abuser,” alleges the blasts and fumes “trigger a horrific panic.” Whitfield Taylor lives about 100 feet from the ICE facility with his daughters, ages 7 and 9, and the suit says the girls “sometimes sleep in their father’s closet to feel some sense of safety.”

    ICE Thugs Opened Fire After Being Tear Gassed by Colleagues




    Air Force veteran Susan Dooley, 72, who served during the Vietnam War, alleges repeated exposures in her west-facing unit. Resident Mindy King, who lives with her 13-year-old son, recorded tear-gas deployments from her apartment of ten years.
    The ordinary rituals of home life—“opening a window, stepping onto a balcony, letting a child sleep in her own bed”—have become “sources of danger and anxiety,” the suit says.

    The filing seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to halt what it calls the government’s “shocking and uncons utional poisoning.”
    The lawsuit also notes broader collateral fallout. The Cottonwood School of Civics and Science, located across the street, was, it says, “forced to permanently relocate over the summer” because chemical munitions made the area unsafe.

    abuse and illegal detention of US citizens is becoming routine

    On Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at 3 PM ET in 216 Hart Senate Office Building in Washington, DC, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Ranking Member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and U.S. Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, will hold a bicameral public forum to receive testimony from five U.S. citizens who have experienced uncons utional detentions by agents of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).DHS continues to lie about its treatment of American citizens. In October, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem falsely claimed, “[t]here’s no American citizens that have been arrested or detained” and the account @DHSgov posted just last week, “ICE does NOT arrest or deport U.S. citizens.”On Tuesday, the following Americans will share their personal experiences being assaulted, detained, and denied their cons utional rights by DHS agents:


    • Wilmer Chavarria (Vermont): Mr. Chavarria, a school superintendent, was detained after returning to the U.S. from visiting family overseas, interrogated for hours, and had his personal and professional devices searched without his consent.
    • Dayanne Figueroa (Illinois): Ms. Figueroa was sideswiped while driving to work and then violently pulled from her car by DHS agents; while detained for hours, she suffered internal trauma, having recently undergone two kidney surgeries weeks before the incident, as well as injuries to her wrists from being handcuffed.
    • Javier Ramirez (California): Mr. Ramirez was violently assaulted by DHS agents and held for four days, where he was denied adequate treatment for diabetes, leading to severe complications.
    • George Retes (California): Mr. Retes is a U.S. Army veteran who was violently arrested and detained during a raid at his job site in Southern California and detained for three days, during which he was refused the ability to contact his family during this time, and missed his daughter’s birthday.
    • Andrea Velez (California): Ms. Velez was on her way to work in downtown Los Angeles when she got caught up in an immigration raid and was falsely charged with assaulting an officer, a charge that was later dropped.



    In October, Blumenthal and Garcia opened an inquiry into the increasing detention of U.S. citizens by federal immigration agents. DHS has since refused to respond to multiple requests from Blumenthal and Garcia for information on the number of U.S. citizens who have been detained by ICE or CBP.

    4 US citizens detained by ICE after breaking down their door, allegedly without any warrant, 7 year old child left in home without family

    Insane levels of violence for administrative violations

    On Saturday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided a home in Burnsville and detained four people, according to family members at the house.

    Ring camera footage shows more than a dozen agents at the front door of the home on McAndrews Road.

    "They just kept banging on the door until they broke it down," said Sofia Alvarado, through an interpreter. Alvarado's husband owns the home and they rent the lower level.


    Damage could be seen not only on the front door but also on multiple doors throughout the home on both levels.

    Alvarado heard banging and she, along with three other family members on the upper floor, hid in the bathroom, not knowing who was at the door.

    Angel, Sofia's brother, said ICE agents took his sister, mom, daughter and niece into the kitchen and made them hand over their phones.

    "They all were scared, crying... they were pointing with the guns not to move," Angel said.

    About a dozen ICE agents were captured on a Ring camera before raiding a Burnsville home.



    He said all four are U.S. citizens and were able to show their paperwork to ICE eventually.

    Sofia said it all started when the couple renting on the lower level was headed home from the grocery store. According to Sofia, the couple was followed home by ICE agents.

    Ring camera footage shows ICE agents detaining the man while the woman runs away. Family said she ran into the house and hid with her 7-year-old boy.

    On Sunday, a large hole could be seen through the bedroom door. Sofia and other family members at the house said ICE agents detained both of the 7-year-olds' parents and that his father has a work permit.

    A hole can be seen in the downstairs bedroom after ICE agents raided the home on Saturday.



    Sofia says ICE also detained another man downstairs and a fourth man, a father to two kids with a third child on the way.

    His wife, who asked to remain anonymous for safety reasons, is six months pregnant.

    "She said as soon as her husband walked out of the room, she didn't see him again," an interpreter told KARE 11.

    She hid with her 7-year-old daughter and 1-and-a-half-year-old boy.

    "When she went out, they were pointing their guns at her," an interpreter said.

    She said the family is here illegally from Honduras for work and that ICE told her to voluntarily self-deport.

    A translator said, "She said that if you can have someone help her... have her husband come back home because in the state that she is in with two kids and one more on the way, she thinks it's going to be very hard for her."


    She is also now taking care of the 7-year-old boy while they wait to find out what will happen to his parents.

    The families at the house claimed ICE entered the home without showing a warrant. KARE 11 has not been able to independently confirm that, but we have reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and are waiting to hear back.

    The city of Burnsville put out a statement on Sunday:

    We are actively monitoring federal immigration activity in our city. Federal government agents have been present to carry out immigration enforcement operations. We know this has created fear and uncertainty for many in our community.

    Burnsville Police do not engage in federal immigration enforcement and are typically not notified of federal operations. Burnsville police officers enforce only state and local laws. Burnsville Police do not check someone's immigration status. Our role is to keep everyone in our community safe. If gatherings or protests occur in response to federal actions, our officers may respond to ensure safety for everyone present.

    Over the last week, city staff have been in contact with impacted community leaders and groups to offer support, hear and address their concerns and provide accurate information and resources. That work will continue.

    You should never hesitate to call 911 if you witness or are a victim of a crime, regardless of your immigration status. To everyone in our community, your safety and wellbeing is always our focus.

    administrative detention of US citizens for asking questions and observing is becoming routine

    A 55-year-old woman who is an American citizen was arrested early Tuesday after confronting ICE officers over the arrests of three of her neighbors in the Willard Hay neighborhood of north Minneapolis. She appears to be the first observer arrested by federal law enforcement officers since the agency launched an immigration surge in the Twin Cities last Monday.
    ICE spokespeople did not respond to a request for comment or confirm the arrests.

    Susan Tincher was awakened a little before 6:30 a.m. by alerts on her phone that an ICE arrest was happening in her neighborhood. She walked over alone and asked one of the officers across the street from the home that was being raided if they were ICE. She said the officer told her to “get back.” Tincher refused, and said multiple agents approached her.

    Federal law makes it a crime for anyone who “forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates or interferes” with a federal law enforcement agent while they’re conducting their duties. Tincher, a white woman in her mid-50s who stands 5’ 4” tall, insists she was at speaking distance from the agent and said that she did nothing to “impede” their actions.

    “Pretty soon they were throwing me on the ground and handcuffing me and putting me in their unmarked truck,” Tincher said, estimating that the whole interaction just took a few seconds. “There were other watchers, who were asking me what my name was and everything, so I identified myself to them, then I started yelling, ‘Help!’ because I was being kidnapped.”

    Video shared with MPR News shows three officers escorting Tincher to an unmarked truck as observers yell, “Where are you taking her?” Agents don’t appear to respond.

    Tincher said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray

    so is US citizens standing up for themselves

    A convenience store manager in Kenner locked a group of Border Patrol agents out as they approached the store on Saturday. In a cell phone video he took of the incident, the group appears to be with the agency’s commander, Gregory Bovino.

    “You want some chicken? You ain’t getting it here, bro,” Wayne Davis can be heard taunting the agents through the door.

    Davis is an assistant manager of the Brother’s convenience store in Kenner where the incident happened.

    He said he was helping a customer when he saw two unmarked SUVs speed into the parking lot and stop in front of the store. Agents came out wearing Border Patrol vests.

    “The customer asked me, ‘that's ICE?’ and I said, ‘yeah,” said Davis. “He goes, ‘oh s***.’” (Note: Border Patrol is leading the current enforcement operation and is a different agency than ICE, though they are both part of the Department of Homeland Security and often share similar duties)

    Davis locked the door from behind the counter as the agents approached. “They're trying to open it, open it, open it. And they're looking at me like, ‘what's going on?’” he said.

    Then, he began filming on his cell phone. In the video, he can be seen raising his middle finger at the agents then approaching the door. “Go somewhere else,” he can be heard saying through the door.

    One of the people outside of the door turned away as the Davis approached with his phone up. It appeared to be Gregory Bovino, commander of Border Patrol, who has been in the New Orleans area as part of the operation.

    “It took me a second to realize it was him,” Davis told WWL Louisiana.

    The video continues with more taunts. “Dang, you don’t want to show your face now? I know you can hear me,” Davis can be heard saying to the masked agents.

    A new state law makes it a crime to interfere with federal immigration enforcement activity. However, immigration attorney Michael Gahagan said it would not apply in this scenario, as businesses generally have the right to keep people off of their premises.

    “It's their properties, their private property, forbidding you from coming in is not the same as preventing [agents] from doing their job,” said Gahagan in an interview Monday.

    He said agents can only force their way onto private property with a specific type of warrant.

    “They need to go to a state or federal judge and get a search warrant to arrest somebody inside the building, signed by a judge after a probable cause hearing,” he said.

    Davis said he knew that when he locked the door. He told WWL Louisiana he has been researching what rights businesses have during immigration enforcement operations in case agents were to show up at his store.

    “I'm not going to let them do what they think they can do,” he said, “because they can't.”

    About a minute into the video, the agents and Bovino are seen getting into the SUVs and driving away. “Bye-bye,” Davis can be heard saying as he waves in front of the camera, then adds, “f*** you.”

    Illinois standing up for Illinoisans against a cruel and oppressive government

    Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday signed into law a ban on federal agents making certain arrests near courthouses and easing a path for individuals to sue if they think their rights were violated during civil immigration arrests, capping off months of resistance to the Trump administration’s sometimes-violent enforcement crackdown in Chicago and the suburbs.


    “We know that this new set of laws can’t mitigate all of the harm,” Pritzker said at a bill signing ceremony in La Villita Community Church in Little Village, “but it gives us new protective tools and is a symbol of our shared action against those terrorizing our communities and our state.”

    shackled for hours, wedding ring cut off for observing feds and talking to them

    It was at about noon that Jim Tincher learned that his wife was being released. He picked her up at the Whipple Federal Building.


    Tincher has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours, where she saw about seven other detainees.


    Tincher said she’s even more motivated after her arrest to volunteer to support immigrants in her community.


    “I’m just so concerned about our neighbors, our peaceable neighbors, being abducted, and the worries their families are going through,” Tincher said. “I just don't want this to be happening in our country.”

    California federalization blocked, National Guard troops return to the control of Gov. Newsom

    Judge called bull on the pretext, citing blocked federalizations in Illinois and Oregon. It's a fact pattern now.

    The Founders designed our government to be a system of checks and balances.1 Defendants, however, make clear that the only check they want is a blank one. Six months after they first federalized the California National Guard, Defendants still retain control of approximately 300 Guardsmen, despite no evidence that execution of federal law is impeded in any way—let alone significantly. What’s more, Defendants have sent California Guardsmen into other states, effectively creating a national police force made up of state troops. In response to Plaintiffs’ motion to enjoin this conduct, Defendants take the position that, after a valid initial federalization, all subsequent re-federalizations are completely, and forever, unreviewable by the courts. Defendants’ position is contrary to law. Accordingly, the Court ENJOINS Defendants’ federalization of California National Guard troops.

    DOJ drops charges in Chicago after grand jury no-bills another bogus indictment

    Can't stress how rare unindicted ham sandwiches used to be before Trump 2.0
