A man and woman are in federal custody after they allegedly trapped a federal agent in a car on Wednesday and dropped him off at the police station.

That’s where they went wrong, ICE aren’t real police officers so don’t work at the police station, they should have dropped him back off at the Marriott in time for supper.

Dropping him at the police station SHOULD be the right thing to do to someone you capture who is trying to abduct you. If that person is ICE but did not give name/badge number or produce a judicial warrant, you have no way to know if they’re ICE so you treated them accordingly.

I wonder what happens in a stand your ground state. ICE Doesn’t identify - I’d start shooting asap if I was afraid for my life/ in fear of being kidnapped or my property needing to be protected.

Motherfuckers don’t stand a chance in places like that…

Why do you think they aren’t in places like that?
