The bystanders, two women, who questioned the ICE agents and stood between them and their target outside the general district court Tuesday also wore face masks. ICE says the pair will face federal obstruction charges.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office intends to prosecute those individuals,” ICE said.
Brian McGinn, the spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia, had nothing to add.
“We cannot confirm or deny the existence of an ongoing investigation,” he told The Daily Progress.
The two women appear to be volunteers with the Immigration Rapid Response Hotline, a public service promoted by several civil rights and immigrant support groups. A witness to the Tuesday raid told The Daily Progress that the hotline had been called when the ICE agents were spotted.
if they’re dressed all in black and wearing balaclavas, how’s a reasonable law abiding citizen to know whether they’re cops or minorities?
Eventually they are going to pull some shit in someone’s house and get Castle Doctorined.
Been telling my family about this and they’ve been scared shitless. I dont see why blasting these pigs to dust would be an issue.
You could even use a libertarian defense to get the right wingers creaming
based on the person they’re kidnapping, if you see a white person getting kidnapped by strangers in baklavas it’s probably me.
Bit idea: standing trial for shooting ICE agents because you thought they were AUNTIEVAH trying to kidnap our patriots and take them away to Pizza Hut.
