Here's some satisfying footage of ICE smashing the window of a car and grabbing an agitator who'd been using GPS to track and surround ICE agents.

I could watch these all day long.

Lock the activist up for years.

Someone suggested that ICE should entice leftists to break the law so they can peacefully arrest them over and over again until they're all in prison.
i actually wonder if the optimal approach to use of ICE is to send them out to entice leftists to break the law and then peacefully arrest leftists over and over again until leftists stop doing that because theyre all in federal prisons https://t.co/BTDSO9x6OB

There's only one problem with that plan: it's illegal for ICE to arrest U.S. citizens because they have no jurisdiction.
They have never arrested anyone peacefully. And it is illegal for them to arrest US citizens, over whom they have no jurisdiction.

ICE has never arrested anyone peacefully because the people they're arresting are far from peaceful.
And, of course, you can expect the usual denials of this by Trump sycophants and bots.

This is incorrect. You are going to get people hurt with this misinformation.

ICE can arrest citizens for interference with their operations under 18 U.S.C. § 111 and related statutes. Physically blocking ICE vehicles with your own, for instance.
8 USC 1357(5) makes it completely legal for an ICE agent to arrest a US citizen committing a crime against the US in their presence. pic.twitter.com/fBiTpQJC1q

You are wrong and this misinformation emboldens and endangers people.

It’s amazing how you believe this is actually true.

I am still regularly seeing people assert things that simply are not true, and it's gonna get someone else killed. ICE can and will lawfully arrest you if you harass and impede them. https://t.co/oKYPkkTwP5

18 USC 111. ICE absolutely can arrest or detain US citizens

"No jurisdiction"? Even if you'd tried, you could not be more wrong.

It's best not to take legal advice from an article that you found online especially when in the article itself it states that it is not meant to be taken as legal advice.
— Teresa Lowell (@LowellTeresa) January 11, 2026
I mean, if you attack law enforcement officers on the advice of random Twitter accounts, it's tough to feel sorry for you.

This is the playbook. Radicalize individuals with propaganda that will get them killed. Praise them as martyrs for the cause which in turn radicalizes more. Rinse and repeat.
— Steven Peña (@steven_pena) January 12, 2026
Harass? No.
— Mary Lou (@MaryLouGrier1) January 12, 2026
Impede? Yes.
Besides being wrong, the peacefulness of any arrest is solely at the discretion of the person being arrested.
— The Thinkalorian (@TheRewster) January 12, 2026
Exactly our point.
They’re federal officers, brainiac. They have jurisdiction pursuant to performing their lawful duties, which includes arresting citizens who impede or otherwise interfere in said performance. This isn’t rocket science.
— MLE (@TroutMle) January 12, 2026
Why do you think they have no jurisdiction? Did you read this somewhere?
— Uncle Junior (@KeithKler) January 11, 2026
As a matter of fact, he did. He read it on allaboutlawyer.com, and you should too.
