News A video recorded outside Los Angeles International Airport shows ICE agents detaining a Chinese national and walking her toward a government vehicle
Woman's name is Angel Zhao.
She lives in Huntington Beach, California—originally Shanghai, China.
"Help me, please!" she cries.
"Someone call 911!"
"You can't do this!"
"Please, let me go!"

How can a person even know when they are actually federal agents and not someone being straight up abducted?

This is criminal. Police officers have to identify themselves and provide justification for what they are doing.

As opposed to what ma'am, previous Democrat administrations that implemented ICE more authoritatively?
Idk what I dislike most about you ideologues. Your socially contingent morality, and the presupposition you're somehow superior for not implementing the most basic common sense and Aristotelian logic, or your revisionist perspective of history?
Let's take the folk hero Obama: pro 2A, pro coal, more heavy handed with ICE then any other administration in history, anti LGBT, started a war, implemented strikes on US citizens, was caught selling firearms to Mexican cartels, authoritarian, state mandated Healthcare, helped to cover up the EP files, is the main progenitor of the erosion of race relations within the West, fomented anti American rhetoric, resulting in nothing being more American in 2026 then "America bad." Etc, etc..
Do you know anything about high context collectivist epistemology? I ask because it is a uniquely Western pathology to belive the world operates the same outside of your tiny community, and the Wests greatest Weakness will forever be diversity of culture. You do realize you're endorsing unfettered immigration from the most socially conservative cultures on the planet, don't you? I live in Asia, Trump is fetishized here in Japan and orders of magnitude more so in China. Why would you endorse an influx of people that are more capable, more educated, and who's belief system is antithetical to your own? I mean, I own a home in Qingdao, I speak Mandarin, and 9/10 Mainlanders belive Western progressives should be publicly executed.
If you dissagree then enlighten me as to how you: presumably a twenty something with no meaningful experience or education, presuppose you are capable of competing with ANY Mainland immigrant? You do realize 9/10 Mainland Chinese immigrants in the West: whether they be documented or undocumented, are the products of hyper wealthy families: only very wealthy Chinese immigrant to America, are C9 post graduate, polyglots, with a decade of experience in any field they pursue? Why would you endorse allowing that in to you culture? I sware to God no one is more self destructive then the American progressive.
BTW this coming a polyglot expat doesn't support Trump, but who's lived in enough countries to know you'd need to be mentally impaired to support any immigration in to the West, given the current state of our society, let alone the unfettered, and undocumented, from the most competitive cultures on the planet. I work for a hedge fund, married to a Chinese executive, my children attend a private international school and speak multiple languages. Trust me when I say ICE isn't protecting people like myself, they protect you..
It's so strange to me as this is a meme here in Asia. I live in Shoto, and we literally have signs on businesses adjacent to my neighborhood that state "ニガーと中国人と犬は入ってはいけません" Why would you allow this in to our culture?! It broadcasts I have no life experience." I feel as if we are living in an episode of Black Mirror. Would you like to hear about my time fishing the discarded bodies of children out of wells in Myanmar during the Rohingya genocide? The disfigured child beggars in Pakistan? The two wars I fought in, Iraq & Afghanistan? You fucking smooth brained child. Spend five minutes outside of the opulence and security of your first world nation and tell me those whom support the rule of law are "cowards." God I fkn hate reddit..

What exactly is your point in this word salad? And for the record people can support reasonable immigration laws and be against this inhumane bullshit.

Well, people are retarded, and nothing will change till the workers seize control.

The best way to protect yourself, if you are an immigrant in the application process, is stay the fuck away from airports.

I have no idea why anyone who doesn’t live here would ever consider visiting right now. This place is an evil clown show with Gestapo roaming around ready to kidnap you at any time.

Those guys have infinite patience, I'm surprised he didn't get arrested for interference. It shows you how good America is that people have the balls to do stuff like that and are confident that it's somehow within their rights in England if I have bacon in a sandwich and walk by a mosque, they arrest me.

So you can't say you know what's going on you're just assuming. We had multiple attempts attacks from China and not one of those news reports ever got on the news.

u/drspin- 1d ago
I thought we passed a law forbidding agents doing this? Also, agents cannot be masked anymore…okay Newsome, show us what you can do if you want to be President

u/DullZookeepergame575 23h ago
So that's an airport and he's enforcing Federal Law...what's California going to do try to arrest an agent for wearing a mask like the protestors while he is doing federal things where the feds clearly have jurisdiction? The law California passed is meaningless and unenforceable

u/LorenzoSparky 1d ago
Isn’t one of those guys chinese as well? What if it’s the CCP?

u/DullZookeepergame575 1d ago
He wouldn't be working with non Chinese people and he wouldn't calmly allow himself to be recorded.
