A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

Incredible. Federal prosecutors are seeing many cases of people accused of assaulting Border Patrol agents being turned down by grand juries!
Los Angeles federal prosecutors are privately saying it’s because CBP agents are just “arresting first and asking questions later.”

![One of the three officials, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said concerns are growing among prosecutors about the accuracy of statements by federal immigration agents that serve as the basis for criminal charges.
"There are a lot of hotheaded [Customs and Border Protection] officers who are kind of arresting first and asking questions later.
We're finding there's not probable cause to support it," said the prosecutor, who requested anonymity over concerns of repercussions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreiahc7hwi2ptgxsauoiaw7l3w5unotqjrgaz3ym77qngvmlldq77na@jpeg)
