Retired couple in shock as ICE points guns at them after church: 'Demeanor of criminals!'

A retired Minnesota couple recalled how Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents held them at gunpoint after church.

The couple spoke to Paul Graham about their encounter in a video posted this week.

"ICE agents who had the audacity to come and try to arrest and kidnap people leaving church on a Sunday morning," the man remembered. "We turned into a parking lot and were greeted by approximately four unmarked ice vehicles with agents who immediately stopped us and pointed semi-automatic weapons in our face, asked us to roll down the windows, threatened us multiple times with arrest."

along with freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, freedom to carry a gun (with restrictions), freedom from unlawful entry. Did I miss any?

Truth be told they probably ARE criminals. Who knows where they've been recruited from.

The man said that he knew police officers and determined the ICE agents "weren't trained at all."

"They just had collected their $50,000," he remarked. "No level of professionalism. They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

"They were like the insurrectionists you saw pictures up at the Capitol," he added. "It's unbelievable. It makes me ashamed."

I watched some of it and the man doesn't act or speak like a normal person.

His wife interjects some words but he doesn't even move his head towards her.

Lots of AI junk out there people. Don't believe it just because Raw Story posted it.

He says they mocked his personalized license that he made in memory of his grandchildren.

They were insurrectionists.

etc.

AI MAKES YOU THINK IT IS REAL EVEN when it is not.
