Federal immigration agents seeking to detain a Honduran landscaper chased him into a Southern California surgical center and quickly found themselves in a tense standoff as clinic staff demanded to see identification and a warrant.

In a video clip of the Tuesday altercation that has spread on social media, Ontario Advanced Surgery Center staff in blue scrubs are heard telling an armed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent wearing a mask and bulletproof vest to let go of the man, who is crying and gasping for breath.

“Get your hands off of him. You don’t even have a warrant,” says one staff member, shielding the man from an immigration agent. “Let him go. You need to get out.”

The news needs to stop giving these people in masks the benefit of the doubt.

They are wearing masks and bulletproof vests. Anyone with 500 dollars can get those things. Stop calling them “Agents” when they don’t show identification. Start calling them “Armed unidentified men” because thats all those surgical staff members saw. When you have your agency on your uniform and you show a badge and ID, then you’re an agent, otherwise you’re just a random man with a gun and people will treat you accordingly.

This is not fighting. This is arguing. Violence has become necessary.

Medical staff are used to high stress situations, they don’t put up with shit

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 86 points 1 day ago (1 children)

without any identification how could they be sure he wasn't Bob, the 11:00 appointement for testicules ablation?

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 76 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Without identification how do we know those “ice agents” aren’t just idf goons in ski masks

Without identification how can bystanders not use deadly force to defend Innocents from kidnappers.

[–] brendansimms@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even with identification, ice is illegally kidnapping legal residents and legal asylum seekers and deporting them to countries they've never even been to

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 39 points 1 day ago

Your saying it wrong

"Your honor, masked thugs were attempting to kidnap the very scared man. They also refused to identify themselves or explain the situation"

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Honestly, having identification would be more damning in that case

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If they start shooting children in the head, that ought to confirm it

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

What If I shoot them 8n the head? Is that enogh confirmation?

I sure fucking hope so 'cause as a Canadian woman I'm gonna kick your ass beyond your wildest nightmares.

Testicles on a necklace around my neck style buddy.

Just pointing out that it is perfectly legal to open carry on private property. Requiring warrants and identification before allowing LE on premises is completely reasonable.

I mean, just to be sure their names end up on the do-not-treat list, at least, as they would for anyone bringing violence into a hospital.

I know this is the case in Oregon (where I live), but is it true in every state?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

More or less, just can't swing around and threaten. Otherwise it'd be a clusterfuck of legal bullshit that'd make the Eastern Roman Empire puke.

You can also drive on private property without a license.
