The family said the masked men did not identify themselves and did not provide any judicial warrants. The DHS did not say whether the agents had warrants.

The bullet holes on the side of the truck as well as shattered windows confirmed the altercation Saturday morning.

    The Department of Homeland Security said Customs and Border Patrol agents were forced to open fire as they were struck by the family’s car.

    They always say that bullshit. They’re not fooling anyone, but I guess they don’t have to.

    Newsome should really start ordering the arrest of these ice agents. Have the police go arrest them for armed assault.

    “(It’s) another terrible example of California’s pro-sanctuary policies in action that shield criminals instead of protecting communities,” the federal agency added.

    The only criminals I see in this story are the masked men shooting at civilians.

    “And we also have a policy that if you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety. And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you. You don’t have to sit there and just be a sitting duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets. You have a right to defend yourself in Florida,” - Ron DeSantis

    “Just not in California.” Also Ron DeSantis probably.

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said when officers attempted a vehicle stop in the area of Acacia Avenue and Baseline Street Saturday morning, people inside the truck refused to come out then “tried to run them down.”

    Prove it. Fucking murderous cunts.

      Following the altercation, dozens of community members as well as federal agents with the Homeland Security Investigations vests gathered outside the home.

      At least one person was arrested for assaulting a federal officer, San Bernardino police said.

      But the person was set free “despite refusing to comply and wounding officers,” the DHS said.

      It really does sound like they’re just making shit up as they go. Would they really set an arrestee free after “assaulting and wounding” one of theirs? I call bull shit.

        Considering that the DHS is regularly fabricating charges post hoc when their kidnapping squad needs it, there must have been no credible evidence of this claim. But apparently that’s still not enough to stop them from lying about it to the press.

          An accusation from the fascists is evidence enough. There must have been credible evidence of the claim’s falsity.

        I mean they have made shit up when there was literal video proof of the contrary before. Like they claimed that an 80 year old senator body slammed them. Or when they arrested Alex Padilla. It’s obvious they always make shit up.

    It is simply a matter of time until a gravy seal is killed in his ‘line of duty’ kidnapping civilians. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when.

    Imagine they pulled this shit on an actual violent gang banger. The ya’ll Qaeda fuck that makes that mistake ain’t going home to his family.

    And it’ll probably start a civil war.

      And it’ll probably start a civil war.

      Seeing as we already have armed squads targeting specific regions on missions to capture and kill other people, I think their side already started fighting that war and it’s just a question of who’s going to organize a defense

        My heart wants it to be a molotov, but really I hope it’s some white-appearing legal gun owners exercising their god-given (lol) right to bear arms and defend themselves; really throw the right wing into a spin

      That’s why the chicken shits are targeting law abiding people. Notice how often it’s nabbing someone who’s showing up for immigration court, who’s been actively complying with the law for years… they are yellow bellied bullies that would never pick on someone who could fight back.

    Masked men refusing to identify themselves stop your vehicle with your family inside, smash a window, and demand you get out. What would you do? Stay there or drive away?

    You drive away. Now they’re shooting at you. What do you do? Stop and comply?

    Statement from Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice

    Alt text

    BORDER PATROL FIRES ON CIVILIAN VEHICLE, STAGES WARRANTLESS OPERATION At approximately 8:40am, immigration agents stopped a vehicle, broke the driver and passenger windows, and fired three times while people were inside. The individual returned home after it became clear agents had no warrant. In fear, the family called SBPD for help. Instead of intervening, SBPD did little to assist. By 9:30am, armed ICE and HSI agents, joined by SBPD, surrounded the home. Despite never presenting a warrant, they remained until 3:45pm, pressuring the individual to come outside. During the incident, two community members were detained using unnecessary force, including one for speaking out. This was a clear abuse of power. Firing at civilians, harassing families without cause, and targeting community voices must stop. We demand full accountability and transparency from SBPD and DHS. We thank all who showed up to support the family. Because of that collective pressure, ICE left. This is not an isolated incident it is part of a larger, unacceptable pattern.

      Why didn’t police arrest armed thugs who shot at civilians? That surely is an attempted murder?
