In a Sept. 2 statement on X, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Nunez had been arrested for “brazenly towing an [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] vehicle.”

“Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations,” Essayli said. “Now he can laugh behind bars while he faces justice.”

Martinez was arrested on suspicion of being a Colombian citizen living in Los Angeles illegally. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said Martinez had been convicted of driving under the influence in Los Angeles and had entered the country illegally in 2022, but was released.

Martinez’s attorney, Carlos Jurado, could not be immediately reached for comment Friday. He previously told ABC7 that his client believes she was targeted because she was using her platform to document ICE raids and arrests in Los Angeles.

Recordings by witnesses showed officers dragging her out of her car by her legs and arms before handcuffing her on the concrete floor.

Authorities in an affidavit alleged that Nunez pressed the passenger’s side door of Martinez’s car against a law enforcement officer as officers were struggling to arrest her.

Officers then threatened to arrest Nunez and he allegedly swore at them and said “something was going to happen” to them, according to the affidavit.

Then, another man approached the officers in an alleged attempt to interfere in the arrest.

While the officers were distracted, Nunez used his tow truck to tow a government vehicle, with its emergency lights flashing, out of the garage, according to the affidavit. The vehicle had its keys inside and a firearm locked inside a safe.

The not guilty verdict is the latest in a string of trial losses in federal court cases tied to immigration arrests and protests. There have been three recent not guilty verdicts delivered to defendants accused of assaulting federal agents.

A Times investigation in July found that the aggressive pursuit of federal charges against people protesting immigration enforcement in Southern California has led to weak cases being rejected numerous times by grand juries.

Christ, they always sound like such fucking faggots.

>>1467918
They sound like they think they're really cool. So yes, you're right.

>>1467918
You can just see the smug soijak face when reading that.

>>1467909
Was the ICE car left in an illegal spot?
Then Nunez had cause to tow it, case closed.

>>1468069
Considering they were intentionally using it to box in another vehicle and block access in and out of the garage, yep.

Also since they tend to not mark the vehicles how is anyone supposed to know

>>1468069
Are you pretending not to know that law enforcement vehicles aren't beholden to civilian traffic laws, or?

>>1468145
Given ICE only uses rental cars that aren't marked to further evade accountability, it's super easy for a tow driver to mistake it for just a civilian car.
ICE only has themselves and their complete lack of transparency and accountability for this.

>>1467908
Somewhat related; Trump just had Barri Weiss kill a 60 minutes on the El Salvador prison he's been having people sent to.

>>1468145
>Are you pretending not to know that law enforcement vehicles aren't beholden to civilian traffic laws
In active pursuit, not all the time ever. And not all traffic laws even then. Cops can't drive around blasted for example. Anyway, this wasn't the tow truck driver imposing a traffic penalty. The vehicle wasn't impounded. It was creating a hazard for other drivers and the truck driver literally just moved it around the corner to a safer spot. Dude should never have been fucking charged.

>California jury affirms for the 1 millionth time that they don't care about any laws, they just think orange man bad
Sounds bout right. Did anyone even think this would end any different?

>Fascist seething that Godifornia does the moral thing.
Apparently legal means being a risk to everyone else by being a hazard and potentially killing people in case they crash into your car.

>>1467908
So apparently the US Attorney on the case celebrated because the trial time kept this guy from interfering and acted as a separate punishment...

Can't you sue for that alone? He basically admitted this was a frivolous suit designed to waste this guy's time and money.

>>1468216
Problem with this, like with suing a police officer, is the tax payers are forced to foot the bill.
There needs to be a law where the law enforcer is held personally liable.

>>1468245
Good. Let Trump voters seethe their tax dollars are going to people who ICE abuse.

>>1468248
They won't care and they'll blame the victims because the conservative bias media will be blaming them and not the abuses of ICE.
Hell they're already brazenly censoring stories about the crimes against humanity trump and the republicans are committing
Also weird how the thread itself got deleted.
>>1468177
More censorship afoot?

>>1468248
Why not just start bombing ICE like all the other terrorist Democrats?

>NYC
>New Jersey
>Virginia
>California: which has a large Republican voting population
>Miami: Republican. With Republicans voting for a Democrat mayor: and it's not even 2026. So these Republicans must either be 'RINOs' or those who refuse to listen to the wrong opinions of cultists
Well, in not yet Soviet America, the Democrats are already terrorizing you, 1468322. Good

>>1468327
Mom~! the fucking gay ass foreigner schizo is posting his retard list again!

The fucking gay ass retard foreign schizo 1468332 is being terrorized by reality and is crying to his mom.
Good

>>1468334
If you were from the US you'd know the only notable election on your list is the Miami race.
And less than 9% of the population even bothered showing up which points to major voter suppression.

>>1467908
There’s going to be more incidents like this and the jury is going to nullify it each time because nobody likes ICE agents

>and 1468340 is still terrorized by the result in Miami, yet believing that loyal Republicans could never abandon his orange god, which points to copious Copium use. Remember: You cannot spell 'Believe' without the word Lie
>those Republicans in other states who are already throwing Trump under the bus
The shill who isn't American is still terrorized by what actual Americans are doing. And will do in the midterms. And the shill doesn't like that. Good

>>1468344
Not true. In fact, only terrorists don't like ICE agents.

>>1468347
ICE has a 34% approval rating. Are you saying 66% of Americans are terrorists? Is America a terrorist state?

>>1468344
>tfw you realize the founding fathers wanted a singular ethnic society for practical reasons, not just because of muh racism

>>1468350
You are talking to someone that would probably like more than 66% of America shipped off in chains to who cares where.

>>1468352
You do realize that these people are fundamentally changing what it means to be an American, right?

>only terrorists don't like ICE agents
What happened to collaborators in France during WWII. Were the French Resistance 'terrorists'? Did the US troops who liberated those French towns after D-Day care what those 'terrorists' did to those who collaborated with the actual terrorists: the Wehrmacht?
The midterms. Late 2028. Think about the future, o ICE agents. you too, who collaborates with the terrorists that are ICE: or will be after 20th January 2029, if the midterms are the shape of things to come in what's left of a politically impotent adminifrustration led by a lame duck a l'orange

>>1468353
>You do realize that these people are fundamentally changing what it means to be an American, right?
You do realize that American is a legal status (technically 2 legal statuses, American citizen and American national, but I doubt you know or care about American Samoa) and fuck all else, right? The lived experiences of a rural farmer in Idaho and an urban doctor in Hawaii are going to be radically different.

>>1468356
This isn't WWII, there are no Nazis. This is removing a bunch of criminals that Democrats are using to bolster their apportionment numbers.
They have a history of using people to do so dating back to the 3/5th compromise.

>>1468347
>Not true
So ICE can never do anything wrong, no matter the nationality of those they - thus you - would consider 'terrorists'?

>>1468363
Were the French Resistance 'terrorists'? Yes or no.
>there are no Nazis
Except you

>>1468365
he's an esl shill, it's not like his wages would actually scratch the cost of living in the country he pretends to be from

>>1468363
>Guys it's just Dems cheating!
>Ignore how they can't vote anyway
Hey btw what about all the innocent citizens getting their fucking doors blown off and held without reason for days?

>>1468366
Is the American resistance an act of terrorism? Yes or no.

And uneducated subhumans that compare literally everything to WWII, Hitler and Nazis are fucking retards.

>This is using a bunch of 21st Century SA blackshirts Republicans are using to bolster their tanking poll numbers
ftfy
>This isn't WWII
>there are no Nazis
>those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it
In soon to be Soviet America, removed will be you.

>>1468369
>Hey btw what about all the innocent citizens getting their fucking doors blown off and held without reason for days?
Meh, shit happens. There was a phenomenon that Democrat terrorists used more than once called SWATing too harass their opposition.

>>1468366
Why didn't the French just let the Germans stay? Fucking bigots.

>>1468372
>Is resistance by Republican voters and politicians abandoning your orange god an act of terrorism?
No. And ftfy.
Only those who forget WWII and what happened to inferior subhuman rightards for the crime of existing are inferior subhuman retards.
>Is resistance by Republican voters and politicians abandoning your orange god an act of terrorism?
But only for you.

>>1468374
esl

>>1468374
>Yeah we have a government backed gang of thugs that can, at any time, beat you up and throw you in a jail cell for days at a time
>Shit happens

>>1468374
>SWATing too harass
>too
To ensure maximum humiliation of the shill who missed English classes, let the pointing and laughing at him commence.
Harassing the shill who isn't American? This is just too hilarious.

>>1468381
Yes it does. Joe Biden's crime bill literally militarized the police in such a way.
But the general argument is that even when mistakes are made by police the good far outweighs the bad.
Let's look at how many arrests ICE has made versus how many horror stories.

And in the end, it's an apportionment game. If California is cleared of illegals it would lose 4 congressional seats in addition to the several it's estimated to lose simply because no one can afford to live there anymore.

So, go all moral majority on me, but in the end, it's sickening that Democrats care about illegals more than US citizens.

>>1468386
you can stop larping as an american any day now faggot, your family wishes you had a real job

>>1468386
Thank you for shitposting here today, Mr. Miller, but shouldn't you be tweeting that under your boss's account?

>>1468379
>Only those who forget WWII and what happened to inferior subhuman rightards for the crime of existing are inferior subhuman retards.
My other question was, "Why didn't the French just let the Germans stay?"
>>1468384
If you're going to keep picking on my typos I'm simply not going to deal with you like everyone else on this board. You should thank me for my reply, even when you post schizo-babble wordsalad that appears English-like but doesn't make any actual sense, or one of your stupid history lesson copypastas that generally are out of context and I reply "What?".

esl shill is crying about being picked on again

>Why didn't the French just let the Germans stay?
After seeing approaching Sherman tanks & Jeeps through binoculars with Carl Zeiss optics after D-Day, why didn't Germans just let themselves stay? But then, merely existing a few years before then in a country they never had the right to exist in the first place was bad optics.
Did the Allies annex Sudetenland?
Did the Allies invade Poland?
Were the Allies an inferior subhuman Austrian that had ideas above its station?
Did NATO annex Crimea?
Did NATO invade Ukraine?
Are NATO an inferior subhuman Russian ex-KGB officer that has ideas above its station?

>>1468398
>Did the Allies annex Sudetenland?
>Did the Allies invade Poland?
No, it was the Germans because they wanted to live there. Why didn't they just let the Germans stay?

>>1468358
>You do realize that American is a legal status and fuck all else, right?
Being an American is tied to American heritage, not a piece of paper or magic soil. It's tied to the culture of the people who live here and the land they live upon.
This global-liberal bullshit you believe in doesn't exist. That's why immigrants create ethnic enclaves in America.

>>1468405
>you must think the same way as I do!
Why can't you accept that based Bomber Harris just wanted Germans in Dresden to be denied their right to exist?

>>1468410
They should've just let the Germans live there. Think of all the horrors policing it caused. Imagine if they would've just not tried to control illegal German immigration.

And yeah, I know this argument sucks dick, but so DOES COMPARING LITERAL EVERY GODDAMNED THING EVER TO NAZI FUCKING GERMANY LIKE ITS A GOOD COMPARISON!

No intelligence. No wit.

>>1468406
>This global-liberal bullshit you believe in doesn't exist. That's why immigrants create ethnic enclaves in America.
If that was true you wouldn't be raging at 'globohomo' for the last 10 years.
>>1468416
>DON'T TALK ABOUT NAZIS UNTERMENCHEN SHITS
lol found the butthurt neonazi

>>1468416
it doesn't take wit to resort to logical fallacy like you're doing, you're right

>>1468416
The intelligent Bomber Harris was witty in not letting Germans exist in Dresden. I think of the schadenfreude of US troops denying the right of Germans to exist anywhere except Germany after WWII: certainly when an Austrian in a hole in the ground in Berlin ultimately denied an Austrian of the right to exist.
Certainly Reality - which has a liberal bias as a direct result of WWII - denying an inferior subhuman rightard in /news/ of what he wants.
>They should've just let the Germans live there
But they didn't. And never will. And this fact makes an inferior subhuman rightard perma-seethe. Good

>>1468421
I think it's time to add a Hitler Hominem or Hitlery Slope to the list of logical fallacies personally.
Only brainless goons compare everything to WWII Germany.

>>1468435
you're a very whiny fascist cheerleader tonight aren't you shill

>brainless goons
But enough about those like 1468347, 1468372 and 1468377

>>1468386
So given that your justification for ICE's actions is because you believe the past administration was much worse, even though they never did half of what Trump is doing/claiming they did, that means the next Democrat administration has the moral and legal obligation to drop the hammer on Republicans, and start breaking down their doors and disappearing them and their families as well once they have power again.

Joe Biden's crime bill was in like 1994. It was the law that caused the mass incarceration of blacks, expanded and militarized the police, ultimately killing Floyd. ACAB for 3 decade of terror (if you're a liggeral this is important to you or should be).

But in the end you literally don't give a shit, just like I don't give a shit about collateral damage from enforcing the law within reason.

Now, since you're a retard ignorant of US politics, fuck off.

>that means the next Democrat administration has the moral and legal obligation to drop the hammer on Republicans, and start breaking down their doors and disappearing them and their families as well once they have power again
Well, that's what Republicans are doing to people not exactly like them, so you tell me.
>Trump being the most spiteful president in US history: as well asd being the worst
Once the revenge pendulum has been set in motion, it's impossible to stop it. What was stopping Trump from not being a spiteful and retarded little subhuman: just like his little MAGAts' sole reason for existing being 'owning the libs'?
There are already politicians with '(R)' after their names getting their revenge on the cultists' orange god: and why shouldn't they? They're thinking about their own futures above someone else's: and why shouldn't they? They're only following Trump's example: he only cares abnout himself.
