🚨BREAKING: ICE agents in Huntington Beach illegally detained a U.S. citizen… and then forced him to allow them to scan his face before letting him go.
In the video, four agents surround a man outside his car, with three more stand guard while people film.
They demand his ID…ystem… and suddenly…
“the system is down.”
So, what do they do instead?
They scan his face.
This man is a U.S. citizen, he is not suspected of a crime, there is no warrant.
And yet, he’s surrounded, detained, and treated like a suspect anyway.
The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. You don’t get to detain someone just because you feel like it… or because of how they look.
And racial profiling? That’s not just unethical, it’s a direct violation of equal protection under the law.
We’ve already seen this pattern across the country… U.S. citizens being stopped, questioned, even detained by ICE after being targeted based on appearance alone.
And now, because when their system “fails” they don’t let you go…
They escalate to biometric surveillance.
Face scanning… on a U.S. citizen… during an illegal stop.
Then, after all of that, he’s released.
Which tells you everything.
They illegally stopped him.
This is what happens when enforcement stops being about law, and starts being about racial profiling first, justification later.
And if they can do it to a U.S. citizen in broad daylight…
They can do it to anyone.
