"A Fullerton police officer intervened when he saw a man in plain clothes pointing a gun at a female driver on a busy street in Santa Ana. The man later identified himself as an immigration agent and accused the driver of 'following him' during an 'operation'..."
This sounds like a keystone cops scenario, but is actually an incredibly dangerous situation and an upshot of poor coordination.When I was U.S attorney, we took great pains to minimize this precise risk, which happens when diff agencies are working the same area.

Fullerton police stop man pointing gun at female driver, only to learn he is ICE agent
A Fullerton police officer told the agent he couldn't help 'with someone following or recording him if no crime had occurred.' Under state law, local police cannot enforce federal immigration law.

"The DPS Trooper involved was sent home from the game. Our Office of Inspector General (OIG) is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into the matter."

A guy like that has no business wearing a uniform or carrying a gun. He's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Trump has pardoned Boca Raton's Susan Kaye, a genius J6er who filmed herself threatening to shoot FBI agents who were on their way to interview her and then posting it to social media...see below.

Trump's America...
For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...
