Immigration enforcement raids in Los Angeles, California, didn’t come without some drama from protesters, one of whom attempted to make himself the main character.
Local news reported on the raids, which saw Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents nab dozens while also battling the meddling presence of leftist activists. The protesters attempted to hinder the efforts of the authorities, resulting in the deployment of either flashbangs or tear gas. KTLA reported on the Home Depot raid in the Westlake District, indicating that at least one protester ” fell to the ground as he attempted to stop a law enforcement SUV from leaving the location.”
Don’t worry, there’s video:

Making Darwin proud, one incredibly stupid decision at a time.
Also from the report:
A spokesperson for the law enforcement agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is in the Department of Homeland Security, declined to “confirm or discuss the existence or status of operations.”
ADVERTISEMENT“The agency publicly announces the results of operations when appropriate. As part of its routine operations, ICE arrests aliens who commit crimes and other individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “All aliens in violation of U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States, regardless of nationality.”
The FBI confirmed to KTLA that it is participating in the HSI raids, not just in Los Angeles but nationwide, “as directed by the Attorney General.”

The guy tripped while running backwards pushing against the vehicle. He did it to himself.

That was very kind of the driver to pull back and go around.
