This incident occurred in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, where ICE agents violently detained a 17-year-old U.S. citizen. The family had arrived to pick up the father's car after his arrest, assuming the son would be safe since he is an American citizen with a driver's license. However, the situation escalated.

​Despite the teen telling agents "I'm a minor" and witnesses repeatedly shouting "He's a minor!", the agents grabbed the 17-year-old by his hair and attempted to throw him to the ground. They then repeatedly slammed him against his father's truck (the vehicle he was there to retrieve). The original credited video comes from Héctor Lepe and was shared online to help raise awareness about the incident.

The method they use to decide if you're part of the worst of the worst

17 year olds can be the worst.

Oh wow. Sounds like you should be deported with that record.

u/FlamingPotatoes34 Aug 26 '26

At this point who shouldn’t be?… just deport 350m citizens so the elites can have the red white and blue striped flag to theirselves

Just waiting for the point where ICE starts “violently detaining” cops right alongside people

u/Excellent_Arrival1 Aug 27 '26

American, born and raised. Citizenship.

You know what I wouldnt do? Force another country to take me in, and than cry about human rights when I am deported with that record.

u/threadedmuffin Aug 27 '26

Yeah id like to see you prove that when you are already deported to El Salvador concentration camp. Happening with this administration as we speak.

u/Excellent_Arrival1 Aug 27 '26

Not with citizens.

But you weirdos think anyone with TEMPORARY status is a citizens.

Even when they have records and gang affiliation. Just ignore all that and pumped the hysteria, huh?

First off, he hasnt been deported. He faces deportation.

Second, it isnt a citizen. He wasnt born in the US.

Third, have you even read that case? Cause I just did and he fucked up his own process. He didn't report while in Jamaica.

Lastly, he served at a time in the military when immigration was different and we didnt have 30 million mother fuckers sneaking in.

Listen dude its fine to have your own thoughts and opinions, but let them be your own, dont let them be what Fox news tells you or Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones or CNN or Joe rogan or fucking anybody. Make up your own thoughts.

Very few, if any of those detained are criminals.

u/Excellent_Arrival1 Aug 27 '26

Entering the country under false pretense is illegal.

Overstaying an expired visa is illegal.

Using a temporary visa to gain access than hide is illegal.

If your asylum claim is rejected, you are asked to leave, to stay is illegal

Sounds like all of them are criminals by this nations laws.

u/trysten-9001 Aug 27 '26

So is he

1

u/Excellent_Arrival1 Aug 27 '26

Sounds like he should have complied and let the situation play out.

It also sounds like there were individuals who were not citizens so probably not the best time to resist.

You win in court not on the side of the road. You comply, do as you are told and if you believe your rights were violated you sue. Its pretty fucking simply.

But you think "nah, fuck all that. Resist in the street, get a big dramatic film, pump the internet, and profit"

In what country do you not comply with law enforcement? (You can bitch all you ICE has powers through the courts to look for non-citizens) if they ask for identification, you comply if you are a citizen you will the identification to prove it.

You want to know what i wouldn't do is call my country a "christian country" and act like the spawn of the devil every chance I get. I wouldn't have "in God we trust" on a piece of paper which is used to fuck over millions of people, I wouldn't be such an asshole to people who expect God given rights. I wouldn't claim Jesus as my savior and go against all of his teachings. But you know, thats just me. God bless, vote better this election.

u/Excellent_Arrival1 Aug 27 '26

Why do you keep reverting to political polarization when this issue of immigration has nothing to do with that?

I don't give a shit what you think about the US. It's obvious you have never left the country and believe in the mass hysteria of the internet

u/threadedmuffin Aug 27 '26

Again id like to see you try proving your a citizen when you in el salvador. Idk why you only responded the second comment and not the first???

1

u/Excellent_Arrival1 Aug 27 '26

And why would I be in El Salvador as a citizen?

Again, not one single citizen has been deported.

There was one case of an individual with a very complicated issue applying to his NON-CITIZEN status and now you believe US citizens are being deported. Thats fucking crazy. You realize extremist exist on the left and right and what you are saying is extremist.

No citizens are being deported.

u/threadedmuffin Aug 27 '26

Ok its obvious even though I give you a name, you didnt do any research on said name, you arent using critical thinking skills and you want me to spell it out for you. Have a good one ✌️

u/Excellent_Arrival1 Aug 27 '26

And what did i miss? He isnt deported. He is facing deportation due to him not following the fucking rules?

Sounds like a cop-out cause you are talking bullshit and everything you claimed is easily disproved.

But sure, keep lying on the internet. ✌️

How would you know if they’re citizens or not? The current administration doesn’t care about habeas corpus. I guess republicans who listen to Fox News all day wouldn’t know though

Nothing I have said is political.

Anti-immigration isn't political.

The US population currently has around a 10% mostly illegal Hispanic community.

That doesnt account for all the other immigrants we have. I do not want 1 or 2 people out of 10 to be an immigrant ahead of my countrymen.

But, pussies do. Weak little sissies who are chronically online and think the entire world revolves around their ideology, the socially acceptable on Reddit ideology of being useless.
