Federal immigration agents seeking to detain a Honduran landscaper chased him into a Southern California surgical center and quickly found themselves in a tense standoff as clinic staff demanded to see identification and a warrant.
In a video clip of the Tuesday altercation that has spread on social media, Ontario Advanced Surgery Center staff in blue scrubs are heard telling an armed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent wearing a mask and bulletproof vest to let go of the man, who is crying and gasping for breath.
“Get your hands off of him. You don’t even have a warrant,” says one staff member, shielding the man from an immigration agent. “Let him go. You need to get out.”
Just pointing out that it is perfectly legal to open carry on private property. Requiring warrants and identification before allowing LE on premises is completely reasonable.
I mean, just to be sure their names end up on the do-not-treat list, at least, as they would for anyone bringing violence into a hospital.
I know this is the case in Oregon (where I live), but is it true in every state?
More or less, just can’t swing around and threaten. Otherwise it’d be a clusterfuck of legal bullshit that’d make the Eastern Roman Empire puke.
You can also drive on private property without a license.
