ICE raid at Home Depot

On X:

I was driving home from Trader Joe's this morning after I dropped my son off at summer camp and saw ICE tying these people up at Home Depot.

I watched as these two people were disappeared into unmarked vehicles, with one of the ICE vehicles trying to back into me when I wasn't looking.

Another woman tried to help. An ICE agent tried to slap her phone down when she tried to get a phone number to call this man's family. They wouldn't let her. Instead, they whisked him away and accused her of obstructing justice.
