From https://littlevillagemag.com/ice-seizes-an-immigrant-worker-at-bread-garden-market-in-iowa-city:The agents in plainclothes first attempt to seize González while he is working in the Bread Garden’s outdoor seating area, and an obviously frightened González, who is shouting for help, retreats inside the market. He's tackled by both agents and is held down on the floor, and one of the agents kneels on his head as he continues to call for help. As the agents struggle to handcuff González one of them unholsters a Taser and appears to be about to use it on González, while people shout at him not to do it. The Taser is not used. The video ends after González is forced into the unmarked minivan, and the minivan drives away.
Gonzalez retreated from authorities after being approached.
He's in the wrong.
The reason ICE Agents don't want to be identified is simple - after shootings at ICE facilities, they are doing a job that, like it or not, needs to be done.
I am not saying that this incident was justified and I won't say that it was because nothing in the article indicates why ICE decided to pick him up.
I assure you that no one cares if it was lunchtime or busy or whatever.
This story makes him out to be like this hero.
ICE doesn't target or pick up heroes unless they are not actually a hero...
Also, the title of this article makes it seem like ICE seized a worker who is originally from a different country. Why would ICE, whose focus is on dealing with illegal immigrants "seize" anyone who is not illegally in the country?
