Car ramming suddenly not a problem to DOJ
BREAKING: A U-Haul truck plowed through protesters in Westwood, Los Angeles, during a demonstration calling for change in Iran. Multiple people were injured. Police stopped the driver; motive remains under investigation — are we great yet? Seems like nothing but chaos every day.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against
