It's funny that you would use the Soviet flag when it is Trump and his cult that is supporting Putin in so many ways.
We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing
Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

- Chokeholds: We found over 40 cases of agents using chokeholds and other moves that can block breathing. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen.
- Former Police Are Appalled: We showed former police and immigration officials videos of incidents. They said agents are out of control. One said it’s “the kind of action which should get you fired.”
The Wall Street Journal has identified 13 instances of agents firing at or into civilian vehicles since July, leaving at least eight people shot with two confirmed dead. According to court records and lawyers, only one civilian was armed—with a concealed weapon that was never drawn—and at least five of those shot were U.S. citizens. Several federal officers reported injuries, including bruised ribs, a dislocated finger and a bite wound.
The Journal reviewed public records—court documents, agency press releases and gun-violence databases—of vehicle shootings involving immigration agents, though video is only publicly available for four of them. Videos for some of the other shootings remain under protective order or footage hasn’t been released by the relevant agency, despite requests from the Journal.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees federal immigration agents, said use of force was justified in the 13 cases and charged at least six people with assaulting a federal officer. Charges were later dismissed in three of the cases.
Yeah, The threat to the agents was so bad that they had to drop the charges in half the cases. Was it because the agent would have had to relive the horror? No. It was because the agents lied about the threat.
It’s out of control.
When Judy Levy got a message on Tuesday from a member of her book club telling her that ICE agents appeared to be staging in a nearby parking lot, she and her husband Noah jumped into their car and drove over. They were the first observers on the scene.
The St. Paul couple followed when eight SUVs filled with masked and armed men peeled out of the parking lot. After failing to shake the observers, the frustrated agents halted their caravan in the middle of traffic and surrounded observers’ cars, threatening them with arrest for impeding law enforcement.
Agents took photos of Levy and other observers’ license plates. Then a masked agent walked up to Judy Levy’s passenger side window.
The agent said: “‘Hello Judith. How are you today?’”
Judy Levy was shaken, but the couple followed when the federal agents’ caravan started up again. That’s when ICE vehicles turned onto Levy’s street. They almost couldn’t believe it.
“Our street is off the beaten path, you don’t go down our street to get to anywhere.” Noah Levy said. “I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t intimidating.”

License plate readers and personal data in people’s car registrations are only supposed to be accessed for an active criminal investigation, said John Boehler, a policy counsel with the ACLU of Minnesota. There have been reports across the country for years that federal agents have been accessing private data when it’s not necessary for an investigation.
“Following or observing or reporting on federal agencies or federal activities is not a criminal activity — it's protected First Amendment activity,” Boehler said. “To be using those cameras, to use those license plate readers, to surveil protesters has a chilling effect on First Amendment rights, and that's what we think the goal is.”

Looks like a mob of unhinged leftist morons taunting, harrassing and interffring with Federal officers.

This story and video from local police shows ICE may be making bogus 911 calls.

Here is an ICE agent pointing a weapon at someone who is simply recording him.

You are a complete idiot. What is the action of the feds are they engaged in that is being impeded?
It seems you can't comprehend what you posted. This is part of the sentence that you seem to ignore -
while engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties;
Unless they are actually prevented from performing an official duty, 111 does not apply. Specify the exact official duty that they are performing that is being prevented by the actions of the priest in the video.
How does recording in a public place interfere with the official duties of the officer? Supreme court rulings have said it doesn't. People have a first amendment right to take video of police actions.
Wow. Talk about being stupid. Local law enforcement doesn't enforce federal laws. They can't arrest anyone for violating a federal law.
FIFY
Locating and arresting illegal criminal aliens you brainless dumbass.
Apparently, because you're a brainless and uneducated dumb fuck, you don't know what their official duties are.
I would argue, and correctly, that blocking their vehicles while they are conducting an arrest, taunting them with an Iphone while they atre conducting an arrest and harassing them with verbal diarrhea, absolutely fits the description.
You, however, want to lie, flail and make yourself look like the unhinged, uneducated, brainless dumb fuck you always are.
If you drive your car at an officer, it most certainly does, you brainless dumb fuck. Now run along. You're not serious and suffer from a severely retarded IQ.
There you go making stupid shit up. When Good's partner got out of the car that they used to BLOCK agents, and recorded him while taunting him, she violated Federal law and US code 118.
Now, you can flail all you like, but you only look like an uneducated dumbass.
That's stupid. But go ahead, what ruling are you referring to? Should be fun to see how stupid and ignorant you really are.
Yes, but they do not have the right to do it while interfering, obstructing or harassing law enforcement. You, being a brainless dumbass, lack the intelligence to comprehend the OBVIOUS.
Looking at a mirror now. 
Yo, Mr. dumb Fuck, they are obligated to cooperate, protect the public and Federal officers. The Supremacy Clause. Read it, Of course, lacking a brain, you won't be able to comprehend it.
