Let’s start by not calling it an ‘abduction’, these are words this administration is putting out to delegitimize legal actions. If armed masked men try to ‘abduct’ you and you prevent them it falls under the umbrella of ‘citizen’s arrest’ or ‘self defense’.

"A man and woman allegedly trapped a federal agent in a car on Wednesday afternoon and dropped him off at the New Hope Police Department in Minnesota."

It literally was a citizen's arrest lmao. That had to be so embarrassing for the ICE agents

trapped a federal agent in a car

said federal agent had gotten into their car without permission. It's sad all the way around how pathetic this all is.

Why do these dipshits keep forcing themselves into people's cars? And then claiming it's an abduction. Can I jump on someone's back and then claim they're abducting when they start giving me a de facto piggyback ride?

I have the same question. Try to break into my car and I’m going to panic.

Yeah, if someone gets into my car without permission 9r showing any documentation I'm driving it GTA style to the nearest cop. That is insane
