BREAKING: ICE agents illegally entered the private hallways of an apartment building in Eden Prairie, refused to show a warrant, and threatened a resident for doing nothing. In the video, a woman sees ICE agents in the private hallways of her building and begins filming. One agent walks up and asks if she has questions. She asks if they have a warrant and requests to see it. He refuses, saying she’s “not related” so they don’t have to show it. That’s illegal. She’s in a private area of her own building… she has the right to see a warrant. She then tells him she’s just observing. The agent says that’s fine but warns her not to “impede the investigation.” When she says she didn’t understand what he said, and starts questioning him more, he accuses her of whistling, making noise, and impeding… and threatens to arrest her if she does it again. Except she never blew a whistle, and she didn’t impede. She only asked to see a warrant, while filming them… fully within her legal rights. And their response to a U.S. citizen exercising her constitutional rights? Intimidation, harassment, and a Fourth Amendment violation… all on video. Which is exactly why you always record ICE whenever they show up. Rights are not optional, and videos don’t lie.
