Sun Mar 29, 2026, 04:00 PM

Sunday

of people having their cell phones, jewelry, cash etc. taken and never returned. Also I seem to recall one story where they grabbed someone's phone and it was cashed in at an electronics vending machine near the ICE facility. The child was a US citizen and they choked him for filming his father's arrest. The goon apparently put his hands around the kids throat and the kid ended up in the hospital trauma center. It happened last October.
