What's This About?
This post criticizes comments by Congressman Randy Fine, who, in a Newsmax appearance, framed the killing of RenĂ©e Nicole Good by ICE as justified and effectively warned that others who âstand in the wayâ could meet the same fate.[1] Torres characterizes this rhetoric as a direct threat to the American public and an example of âgangsterism masquerading as governance,â implying the use of violent intimidation as a political tool. The broader context involves ongoing debates over police and immigration enforcement killings, state violence, and increasingly extreme rhetoric from some right-wing officials.[1][2] The post also ties into concerns about authoritarian tendencies and calls for or justification of political violence in U.S. political discourse.

đš BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents once again threaten to illegally arrest a U.S. citizen⊠for standing on a public sidewalk and filming them. Yes. Really. In the video, in Beaverton, Oregon, multiple agents swarm a man who is doing nothing more than observing and recording from a public sidewalk, something that is 100% legal and protected by the First Amendment. An agent claims they âknow who he isâ and accuses him of driving erratically and being âa danger to the public.â Which is rich, coming from an agency with a long history of hitting people with vehicles, assaulting women and children, and âaccidentallyâ firing or dropping loaded firearms. But, even so, they are not police and cannot arrest someone for a traffic violation. Then the threats start. âYou are interfering with our operations.â âYou could be arrested.â âWe will arrest you.â Again, the man is standing on a sidewalk. Not blocking anyone. Not touching anyone. Not saying anything beyond asserting his rights. Another agent jumps in with, âYou were following us yesterday.â Cool story. Still not illegal. They repeatedly claim he has âinterfered with operations,â yet, the only behavior they can actually point to is⊠observing them. Existing near them. Filming them. When the man calmly says, âIâm not interfering,â the response is: âIf you continue, you will be in handcuffs.â Letâs be crystal clear about what that means: ICE agents are threatening to arrest a U.S. citizen for continuing to legally observe and film them in his own neighborhood. When the man states the obvious, âIâm not breaking the law and you know it,â the agent completely loses it. He steps inches from the manâs face, points at him, shoves into his shoulder or chest, and screams, âOne more time and I will put you in handcuffs.â This isnât law enforcement. This is intimidation. The man tells him to get off him. The agent responds, âNo, Iâll stand right here, pal. Right here all day,â while continuing to press into him. The citizen points out the setup perfectly: âIf I touch you, youâre going to arrest me, right?â Exactly. Thatâs the game. Thatâs when the agent snaps completely, screaming that the man is âworthlessâ and has âno honor.â Which⊠feels like projection. This video shows exactly what ICE and Border Patrol are doing across the country: They are trying to scare people into not filming. They are trying to bully citizens out of exercising their rights. And when intimidation doesnât work, they escalate. Because they know that cameras expose them. So hereâs the takeaway: Always film. State your rights calmly. Keep your hands visible and on your phone. Narrate everything thatâs happening. They want silence. They want fear. They want no witnesses. Donât give it to them.

The City of Eugene, Oregon, is using taxpayer dollars to fund a "BIPOC Water" program only for "BIPOC youth," to experience water activities and get lifeguard certification. No Whites allowed. Your tax dollars are being spent on anti-White discrimination. This is illegal. @AAGDhillon
