🚨BREAKING: In the Chicago suburbs, an ICE agent assaults a teenager for filming his vehicle, and pointing out that it illegally has no license plate. In the video, a U.S. citizen is peacefully filming an ICE vehicle, that is sitting in a parking lot. He walks to the back of the SUV to document that it has no license plate. That’s when the ICE agent jumps out, screaming, “Get away from my vehicle!” while aggressively charging toward the teenager. The teenager immediately backs away, but the ICE agent keeps walking at him, tries to trip the teenager , and continues yelling… even though neither of them are anywhere near the vehicle anymore. Filming government officials performing their duties, in public, is protected by the First Amendment. That protection doesn’t disappear just because the official doesn’t like being recorded. An officer also can’t lawfully use physical force simply because someone is filming them. Using force, to stop someone from recording, is a violation of that person’s constitutional rights. And let’s not ignore the reason the ICE agent got out of his car in the first place... Illinois law requires vehicles, driven on public roads, to display valid registration plates. This ICE vehicle is not following that law. So, if your first instinct, when someone records your conduct, is to assault them… you’re proving exactly why the public is recording in the first place.
