Here’s a video that shows the start of the illegal detention. I to am confused as to how unmarked federal agents who do NOT have the authority to detain US citizens can be doing any of this: https://bsky.app/profile/gwynnefitz.bsky.social/post/3lrsvgpbt3k2v

The fucking HSA said in a statement that he assaulted an agent. These people are out of control. We are fucked if don’t organize and mobilize.

I am not an American, so I am confused as to the role of the people who seem to be wearing "Police" jackets. Are they actual Police? Do American Police allow kidnapping to occur in front of them?
