We have the receipts as Donald Trump sends his ICE Gestapo, his personal military force to terrorize Americans in big cities, small cities, big towns, small towns throughout the country. I want to show you what's going down in the United States of America right now to document the current state of this country and to show you,
people throughout the world, what's really happening here as the Trump regime is disappearing people
to concentration camps, trying to kill people in the street, kidnapping people. There are war crimes
being committed on the street. We see kidnappings of children, handcuffing, zip-tying children

It's from Colachma Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Portland, Oregon.
You'll see ice agents laying on a man's back with his full body weight for over two full minutes.
I can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
He begged in Spanish five different times.
At no point is he resisting.
You'll hear his wife yell, help.

who's a U.S. citizen with her son in the back seat.
The U.S. citizen says, are you going to shoot a pregnant woman?
You just pull a gun on me?
Then he had the balls to say, it's your fault I did that.
The video clearly shows that she's just driving down the public street,
exercising her First Amendment rights,
to film the agents making the arrest.
And this took place in Illinois by Chicago.
Here, play this clip.
You're going to shoot a pregnant woman?
Yeah, you're going to shoot a pregnant woman?

You pointed a gun at me.

In this next clip, we're going to show you.
This is raw video footage of ICE holding Illinois legislator.
and a staffer at gunpoint.
Agents pointed a gun directly at my face without any warning whatsoever, said State Representative
Wanyai.
Here play this clip.
I'm state representative Hanwen.
These guys are telling us to stop following.
I'm state representative Hanwen.
The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.
I'm state representative Hanwen.
There's three agents behind us.
Why is my window not working?
I'm state representative Hanwin.
Somehow they're able to open my windows.
These people are, there's three officers in front of us.
three officers behind us. I'm state representative Han Wen. He has, uh, I'm state representative
Hanwen. There's three officers behind us. I'm going to keep following this guy,
this other car behind us. Yeah, they just put a gun. Yeah, they just had a gun. Uh,
we're at Montrose and Kimball now telling us to stop following them. Uh, I guess the other
car behind me was following me. I didn't realize, but, uh, now we're, um, at Montrose.
Okay, we're heading west on Montrose from Kimball.
We're also seeing this right here as ICE detained a blind protester,
drop him on his head onto the pavement.
I think they wanted to make a point, said the four foot six inch blind man.
So they picked the weakest person they could find and made a big show of it.
This individual is known for dancing in good times while protesting,
a joy to be around.
It was heartbreaking to see him being dragged the way he was.
said the man who took the video, a spokesperson for ICE,
claims that Quinn Haberol was obstructing law enforcement
and made other violent threats here, play this clip.
A shocking arrest caught on cameras.
Federal agents drag away a blind protester at Portland's Ice Facility.
At 5 o'clock, I'm Jeff Giannola.
I'm Elizabeth Din.
Protesters caught the controversial arrest on video Saturday.
Now to our Ariel Sox, she spoke with some of them.
And Ariel, what did they say?
Yeah. So, you know, this, they tell me that this man is just full of joy. He's often out here dancing. So that's why what they saw the Saturday was so shocking.
It was heartbreaking to see him being dragged the way he was. Take a look at these videos, each taken from different sides of the ice building. You can see Quinn Abel, a blind man wearing a neon vest sitting on this side of the driveway to the facility. Next to one.
is a thick blue line on the ground federal agents made to indicate when protesters are crossing
onto federal property allowing them to arrest people for trespassing either not past the blue
line that's their that's the line that we're supposed to they don't supposed to cross and he was
on the sidewalk that's when you see several federal agents circling around him
grabbing him by his limbs carrying him into the ice building before losing their grip
causing him to hit his head on the pavement.
The video then shows officers dragging him past the gate,
with more agents getting involved,
cuffing him as the man wiggled on the ground,
one agent picking up his white cane.
The visceral reaction was to just not continue videotaping
and get the angle, but I just couldn't keep it out.
I had to keep him in frame.
I had to keep him in frame, and it just hurt my heart.
It was shocking.
shocking. And you can see in the video where I'm very vocal and then you can see my breath.
My breath is taken away. It was like, what, what threat does that man represent to the, you know, agents of the state or property?
I reached out to the Department of Homeland Security. They sent a statement that reads in part.
This rioter was arrested after he blatantly disobeyed law enforcement orders to remain off federal property,
obstructed law enforcement, and continued to block the driveway so vehicles could not end.
enter or exit the ice facility.
And then finally, just show you this other clip right here
from Ice on Canal Street,
just how you can see how Trump is terrorizing
these communities across the country.
Let me show you this clip right here.

We're going to keep documenting this every step of the way
on the Midas Touch network.
Horrific, horrific, horrific stuff.
But this is what's happening in the United States.
You have literally a terrorist regime in the old
of the law office right now, destroying the White House, like literally desecrating the East Wing,
terrorizing Americans, sending military to harass people. It is full-fledged authoritarianism in the
United States, and the American people hate it. Donald Trump has never been less popular.
His approval is plummeting. Americans hate this guy. Corporate oligarchs, business leaders,
some universities, law firms capitulating, pathetic enablers, enablers of war.
crimes enablers of crimes against humanity taking place in the United States. They really are
pathetic, pathetic people who one day they'll look themselves in the mirror and maybe they have no
soul, they have no conscious, but real, real horrible human beings. No other way to say. It's
sick, disgusting, deprave people who are destroying this country. Sickos. Anyway, hit subscribe.
