Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is 'Domestic Terrorism'

[Swede]

Nazis gotta Nazi.

A leaked Justice Department memo directs federal prosecutors to press “domestic terrorism” charges against individuals who record immigration operations.

After leaving the Chicago area in November, U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino made an unexpected return on December 16, along with several hundred federal agents and a film crew. Returning to the same aggressive tactics that sparked protests earlier this year, local officials criticized Bovino for using immigration operations as a form of political theater.

In a statement to the Chicago Sun-Times, a spokesperson for Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson called out agents for allegedly arresting people indiscriminately and without arrest warrants. The mayor's office also criticized them for filming the raids and "[turning] these operations into a spectacle."

8. Good luck banning everyone's home security cameras.

If ICE is criming in public, they can will be filmed with Ring cameras. No difference if someone is holding a cell phone. You don’t want to be filmed, Gestapo? Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
