Chicago citizen, 67, dragged from car, ribs broken by Border Patrol

Shocking video shows a chaotic scene on a quiet Chicago street as Border Patrol agents in tactical gear drag a 67-year-old man from his car while children in Halloween costumes look on in horror.

According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding.

The incident unfolded Saturday in the city’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say the agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade amid an immigration enforcement operation.

Anyone who defends themselves, or attacks back will provide Republican's with proof that Martial Law is needed, to enact their so called interpretation of the "Insurrection Act", and throw out the "Posse Comatatus Act".

... of the blatant abrogation of citizens' Constitutional rights is consistent with what I am certain is Nosferatu's plan to push the populace to the breaking point, after which resistance will be all the reason Trump will need to impose the Insurrection Act and to start killing protesters. These motherfuckers are no longer even making a pretense of chasing down real criminals, and, because they're all craven cowards, they're victimizing children, the elderly, and innocent citizen bystanders.
This will end badly for ICE goons, and the sooner the better. We'll see how they like sunny El Salvador.

My 5 cent bet says they double down, not back off. MAGA never met a judge it respected. If the order supposedly come from Trump then they'll claim he's responsible and "immunity".

Edit to add, I hope I'm all wrong on this.

can't change for the good because they don't understand anything but violence coming their way. Republicans have run the bs. about guns since the 1960's but if the crap hits the fan they will run and hide and crap their pants trying to do so just like they did when goons on their side attacked the capital. Crawling under seats and running like Hawley did when it started.

I believe that the self-defense principle would still apply in front of a Chicago jury,
against masked unidentified kidnappers and felonious assaulters---

The problem would be surviving the incident at all,
if you attempted to use JUSTIFIABLE deadly force in self-defense
against masked thugs with guns who outnumber you....

He'd send in the military and call them the enemy within and look to escalate to martial law. Although, people who are fearlful of masked armed assailants entering their property and taking lethal action is perfectly legal in many states and has been affirmed in court.

Violent criminal assaults on American citizens obviously have NOTHING to do with

with young children in Halloween costumes......


Among the 'worst' are agents with ICE badges, committing violent crimes against American citizens!
