Border Patrol Agent Serves 'Defensive Strikes' While Detainee is 'Pinned to the Ground'
When a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle rear-ended a sedan in Evanston, Illinois, the AP describes a scene where federal agents deployed pepper spray, punched a man, and pointed a gun at a woman. The Department of Homeland Security's defense? The agent delivering 'defensive strikes' because the restrained man 'grabbed the agent’s genitals and squeezed.' A man 'pinned to the ground' somehow managed to
not only reach but also 'squeeze' an agent's genitals with enough force to warrant a flurry of punches—a claim demanding a suspension of disbelief worthy of Oscar-winning fiction. This isn't an isolated incident; it's part of a pattern where federal agents, under the guise of 'immigration enforcement activities,' are deployed far from any border, harassing communities and manufacturing
confrontations. These are the 'rapid response' teams our taxes fund, not to safeguard, but to intimidate. One might wonder: how many 'squeeze' incidents does it take for a heavily armed federal agent to control a single, restrained individual without resorting to street brawl tactics?
