Today, Patty said she was particularly on edge.

This was her first time out doing this after getting detained about a week earlier.

Patty says one of the agents set off pepper spray so that it would get pulled into her car's ventilation system.

She tried to shut off her heat quickly, but some got in.

Her eyes and throat started burning.

Then, according to Patty, the agents then surrounded her.

What was going through your head when that was all happening?

How am I in the back of this unmarked car?

Something that stood out from this story and other things this past weekend is just how unclear it is to the activists what could get them in trouble, detained or arrested.

People seemed like they were trying to figure out the rules in real time.

Is it blocking traffic?

What's a safe distance to follow a car if you think it might be ICE?

As for Patty, whatever she'd done to get detained, she didn't get charged with anything.

She was released later that evening, and she still doesn't know why they took her in.

Now, a few days later, here she was, back out patrolling.

About 20 minutes after we started staking out this one truck, the suspected ICE agent emerged.

He got in his car and started driving.

Do you want to start following him?

Yeah.

From ICE's perspective, you're saying their point is to instill fear?
