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.”

    ^ You yelled at your neighbor, who’s desperately bleeding out after begging you to pick option one and spare him and the other 9 babies from option too.

    Of course that’s no issue for you – he picked option one and therefore that’s the blood of a liberal fascist on the sidewalk.

      Wait, did my neighbor spend a year screaming at anybody that tried to tell the guy killing baby after baby that if he doesn’t stop it, someone else is going to come kill 10 babies?

      This isn’t a good metaphor. The libs who got us here aren’t the victims.
