A video recorded last week has ignited outrage online after it captured ICE agents violently arresting two brothers in South Norwalk, Connecticut, in broad daylight without producing a warrant. The men, identified as Ricardo Chavez and his brother, reportedly hold legal status to live and work in the United States.

The footage (credit @alwaysfilmthepolice) shows plainclothes ICE agents forcibly detaining the men in a public area. Witnesses say the agents refused to provide identification or present a warrant when asked, instead resorting to physical force and a taser to subdue the brothers before hauling them away. They also allegedly damaged their vehicle.

Community members who know the Chavez family insist that both men are law-abiding residents with valid documentation. “They work, they pay taxes, and they belong here,” said one South Norwalk resident who witnessed the arrest. “This was nothing short of a kidnapping.”

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    It seems like you just made a person up in your head to get mad at.

        Look back at my posts and point to the thing I said that suggests I want to “let bad people burn down the system and think your perfect ideology will rise from the ashes”.

        Because that is the opposite of what I want, or what I expect would happen in America, so I’m confused what words I said that coukd possibly give that impression.

          You’re standing there, telling your neighbor “at least I didn’t pick a child killer!”

          The part where you abstained from helping your neighbor, and the 9 additional children, etc.
