  1. It’s always telling when someone accused of doing something heinous and their first response is “how did you know about it”

    The Trump administration ignores laws every day.

    And then they make “laws” up to scare Americans.

    Who the fuck cares what murderers say in defense of murderers?

    Trump was party to the murder of a newborn, and is supporting the murder of our country, and it’s people.

    He is the enemy of the state

    As addition. He is complaining they got caught executing a US citizen in her own car.

  5. ICE says “recording us is illegal” cool story bro, First Amendment just laughed so hard it dropped its donut

  6. And yet I could be recorded in a county local government job because it was public facing, and had it happen multiple times.

    Always turn on your camera whenever you see ICE. This is a very powerful weapon against terrorism in our country that is being performed by Donald Trump, the child rapist president.

    To our military , It is not illegal to disobey illegal orders from Trump.

    You have the right to refuse if it is against our constitution. You are only our hope to save our democracy and freedom. Do something!

    I’m confused by the implication of this excuse, like are they saying it’s okay for a random guy to execute a citizen they perceive to be committing a crime?

    They’re just appointing random agents judge, jury, and executioner while demanding more due process than anybody else gets for themselves?

  9. This asshole really thinks he can speak laws into existence. I wonder how long he’ll be wrong for.

    You fucking fascist fucks wish lol. Keep recording keep exposing and keep sharing!

  11. >The Trump administration says it’s illegal to record videos of ICE. ~~Here’s what the law says.~~ **They’re lying to you, because they’re fascists.**

    Fixed the headline for you

  12. it’s also illegal to rape children, yet republicans don’t seem concerned about allowing a known pedophile in the white house

    They don’t want you to record because it’s much easier to lie about something when there aren’t twenty different recordings from various angles and distances that show the truth.

  14. Nope.

    That will not hold up in court. Absolute field day for lawyers who want to make a buck.

    >Stop calling us Nazis! Also, we will arrest, imprison, and or summarily execute you for filing our secret police.

    Small government courtesy of 78 million of my and your Republican voting neighbors, family, friends, etc.

    Trump says everything they don’t like is illegal.

    Yet, everything they do is illegal.

  17. From the article:

    “While the Supreme Court itself hasn’t yet faced the issue squarely, the seven federal circuits that have done so…all agree that the First Amendment protects the right to record police performing their duties in public.”

    Likewise, federal circuits have upheld the right to use vulgar language to oppose police without fear of retaliation, and to warn others of nearby police checkpoints or speed traps.

  18. i bet the nazis would have hated footage of their early murders before they could get teh full on nazi movement going too.

  19. Murdering ICE agent had reached for his gun before she even put the car into drive after reversing. She had turned her wheel right- wasn’t tying to run him over. This is an arsonist-firefighter scenario. No de-escalation whatsoever. Trigger-happy murdering thug. Armed masked agents run up out of nowhere and start screaming, trying to open the door… absolutely disgusting. There is no justification for this. Look at all the damage and chaos these losers have unleashed- for what? Because someone was here illegally? Now the ICE agent is a murder and more violent than the woman in the car. How can these guys do that job? Bunch of ex-military, police, and jocks. How the hell do they think their parents got to America?
