We followed them for about 40 seconds and then they stopped their car.

got out of the car and came and surrounded us, screaming at us to stop following them.

And then proceeded to tell us that we were under arrest, took their...

these instruments out of their vests and smashed in my front two windows and dragged us out of the car, put us in handcuffs and put us each in separate vehicles.

How are we getting arrested right now?

We didn't do anything wrong.

But we weren't committing any traffic violations.

So it was like, how can this be happening right now?

How am I in handcuffs?

Just at a pretty safe distance.

How are you guys feeling right now?

I am feeling a little nervous, but also

also feeling like it's important that we stay out here, right?

I think part of it is just knowing that the point of the arrests and the detentions is to instill fear and is to deter people from doing this important work.

I think so.

I think that ICE's point in making these arrests and detaining people who are then oftentimes let out without charges, like I was, is to intimidate people and deter them from doing this work.

And to me, if they are...

to go through the whole process of trying to intimidate people like that and use their resources that way, then I think that that means that it's having some sort of impact.

So I want to keep showing up and doing everything that I possibly can to gum up the works.

Do you want to get their plate as well?
