Federal agents blast their way into house using explosives. They found young children and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend had a traffic collision with ICE (www.nbclosangeles.com)

If they do this for a simple collision, can you imagine how ICE would react if, while they're off arresting people, a group tipped over their cars? I mean, such a disturbing event would only take about four or five people, which would be terrible. I hope it never happens, especially more than once.

ICE claimed that he rammed their vehicle, and that others threw stones and their car. So not a simple collision, from their official point of view. Though that does not justify what happened here.

I also wonder why this even is a case for ICE and not the police.

In a statement Friday afternoon, a Customs and Border Protection spokesman said, “Jorge Sierra-Hernandez was arrested because he rammed his car into a CBP vehicle, causing significant damage and obstructed the work of our agents and officers during course of a law enforcement operation. During this incident, agents were assaulted, and additional rioters threw rocks and other objects at our personnel. Anyone who actively obstructs or assaults law enforcement, including U.S. citizens, will face consequences which include arrest.”

ICE are lying bastards and their time is up.
