One video posted on social media showed a man yelling and crying on the ground in Terminal 3 at Harry Reid International Airport on Monday when a man and a masked woman, both in plainclothes, tried to control, handcuff and detain him. When the pair realized they were being filmed, they walked away, leaving the man with a handcuff attached to one arm.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police found no outstanding warrants for the man, removed his handcuffs and notified ICE.
They know what they’re doing is illegal, and accountability terrifies them.
They arrested this guy in LA when the plane landed and once again FUCK ICE.
Aye, and fuck their LVMP collaborators

… ICE arrested him at his flight departing the Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security said.

We can fully expect that this poor dude is going to be singled out for especially abusive treatment when he gets to detention because these ICE twats made a scene by being fuckups here and they’ve all got fragile abuser egos, and the local cops served him up on a silver platter for it
So what I’m hearing is, concerned citizens should go to airports and keep a look out for groups of three people where two look like cops and one looks scared, then draw attention to them. If ICE lets them go and it’s a departing flight, inform other passengers and post to local news and social media platforms in the arrival city so people can accompany them to the gate and others can meet them there and escort them through baggage claims and to their destination (or, you know, advise them not to fly).
Edit: given that this was a connecting flight, his fellow passengers could accompany him to his next gate and inform his future co-passengers, and that arrival city (if still in the US or a country likely to extradite to ICE), ad infinitum, if needed

Is there more news about an incoming connection?
I read that as leaving US already, but realize now it was vague.
He was in the country illegally. Do you just not want laws enforced?
Phu Nguyen, a 57-year-old citizen of Australia who overstayed his visa.
Yea I want laws like “cops must identify themselves” enforced. And laws like “the president can’t rape children.” Let’s start there.
TDS confirmed.
It’s deranged to think rape should have consequences?
No, but you’re saying Trump has raped children.
Yes I am. Are you familiar with the name Jefferey Epstein?
Edit: also do you think cops don’t have to identify themselves when making arrests as well? Or is that just me being deranged?
I am familiar with the name. I’m familiar with the fact that trump isn’t incriminated in any way in regards to him, especially not in any child raping ways, and in fact it’s a fact that trump was one of the very first people sounding alarm bells about Epstein, and he even reported him to the fbi.
But you knew all that, right?
You seem like someone who is a collaborator.
“Do you just not want laws enforced?” Says the person claiming a man is guilty before any trial and defending a warrantless arrest neither of which are legal.
You don’t get a trial for overstaying a visa lol
Laws that are bullshit and that breaking them doesn’t harm anyone? Yeah I don’t want those enforced. You’re right.
People staying in a country illegally harms people. It harms the person who misses out on a job because of them. It harms the economy by them not paying taxes and getting paid below minimum wage and/or in cash. It harms services that are used by an extra person who shouldn’t be there.
Well that’s all bullshit and not how an economy works sooooo… Yeah.
Oh they’re not getting paid enough but someone wants their job. They also pay taxes. If it’s harmful to the economy then they should not be paid below minimum wage in cash - that’s not the person’s fault that has the job, that’s the fault of the employer.
I’m all for dignified work and good wages. Acting like individuals just magically don’t participate in a local economy because they’re underpaid immigrants is silly.
They’re getting paid illegal rates because they’re illegally in the country and are hardly going to risk deportation to dob their employer in. If they didn’t work for illegally low rates, the employer would have to pay a citizen the minimum wage.
If they didn’t work for illegally low rates, the employer would have to pay a citizen the minimum wage.
Well, I promise they’d work for at least minimum wage (which in and of itself is not enough) if the employer paid them that. You’re acting like it’s the victim’s fault here when they’re being taken advantage of by a corrupt system.
They’re not being taken advantage of, they’re not supposed to be in the country working.
Laws like human rights, right of due process, right to not be attacked by unidentified masked thugs, right to not be attacked with unjustified force …. It’s clear who is committing the more serious crimes here: the end does not justify the means
The due process is for them to leave the country after their visa has ended. The due process is for them to be deported if they don’t. The aren’t owed a trial, their right to be in the country has legally and factually ended.
This isn’t due process. You’re just making up your own definitions in order to support your ridiculous argument.
I’m not surprised that a criminal like /u/GoatSynagogue, someone who is in the country illegally, would be advocating for such lawlessness by government officials. He needs to be captured and deported back to Antarctica immediately.
Well, I’d object, but you said he was a criminal so you’ve clearly given him his due process!
(/s if that’s needed)
Due process means following the legal procedure. Due process means proving it. Due process means giving the accused a chance to object. This is what prevents mistakes, prevents abuse of authority, prevents it from degenerating into racism, prevents terrorizing innocents. Due process is what keeps us from being the criminal.
And what do you think happens after they’ve been taken into custody for overstaying their visa?
Remember - it’s not “alleged” that they’ve overstayed their visa. It’s fact. It’s like if you get caught driving without a license. You get arrested. That’s the process.
You can’t “object” to your visa being expired., just like you can’t “object” to not having a drivers license. These are things that are registered with the government and they can easily check the status of.
If you are caught driving without a license, the police officer takes down the evidence, maybe they arrest you, you are brought before a magistrate to see if evidence looks solid and you can decide whether to accept whatever the charge is or dispute it. If you dispute you are probably allowed free on bail or your own recognizance until you are called in to court. There the state describes the charge and produces their evidence and you have an opportunity to argue it.
There is all sorts of due process, checks and balances against abuse of authority, and the state has to have a preponderance of evidence showing you were guilty.
And of course the analogy falls over when you realize that overstaying your visa is a civil offense, not a crime.
The analogy doesn’t change. You get taken into custody for overstaying your visa. That’s the first step of the due process.
I don’t know where you live, but where I line driving without a license is a straight up arrest and fine. You don’t get brought before a magistrate where they present evidence, because the fact you don’t have a license is not up for dispute. There’s no evidence that can change that.
All of this is almost irrelevant though, because the very first step is being detained. That’s the start of the due process.
Uhm, they were trying to arrest him at the international terminal? International terminals are Sterile Zones, where departing passengers have formally exited the country. That’s pretty much like ICE arresting someone while they’re physically in Mexico.
It’s hard to tell, the article is poorly written. There’s something about an Australian guy getting arrested at LAX, not sure if that’s related to what happened in LV or not.
At any rate, it’s kinda stupid to arrest someone at an airport even before they’ve gone through security. They’re likely leaving the country and will have to present themselves to a customs official anyway. Instead of wasting money on prosecuting someone that overstayed, it’s better just to let them leave, maybe charge them a fine or whatever.
It’s just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.
It’s just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.
Cruelty is the point.
And, of course, for the sake of meeting quotas.
Is this the one where the people obviously aren’t ICE, and just some chuds wearing masks while robbing people?
That’d be crazy work to do in an airport regardless of who’s pres
Unless we all band together and start pushing back and defend ourselves we will all be on the ground cuffed or have a bullet hole in our heads.
"When the pair realized they were being filmed, they walked away, leaving the man with a handcuff attached to one arm.

was he “escorted to the ground” too?
Plain clothes, nothing that declares they are an agent, walks away when confronted… That’s all suspicious as hell. It could just be a fucking mugging.
Looked like some random assholes beating on an old man. They should have arrested them.
