She decided to drive to a public place for safety and went to a parking lot.
The DHS vehicle pulled in front of her to block her path.
An agent rolled down the driver's side window.
The agent screamed at Kellermeyer to stop effing following them and that Kellermeyer would be arrested if she continued to observe them.
Here's another from the same Minnesota case, another account, quote, Emily Belts, a 44-year-old Edina resident, was observing DHS activity in her neighborhood and followed a Homeland Security SUV into a parking lot.
The SUV stopped suddenly and Belts stopped behind it.
Someone leaned out of the SUV and photographed Belts.
Belz started to drive away.
The SUV then spun around and sped at Belz's car as if the SUV was going to run into Belz.
Right before the SUV hit Belz, it braked hard.
An agent leaned out of the SUV front passenger window and yelled, Emily, Emily, we're going to take you home.
The agent then stated Belz's home address.
Belz drove in the opposite direction.
After driving about a block, Meltz noticed that the SUV was following her.
Terrified, she went to a restaurant and waited several hours before finally driving home.
Those are two of dozens of sworn declarations by people observing or protesting ICE in Minnesota.
MSNL has not independently verified these claims, but the ACLU collected more than 80 accounts like this from people who say Trump's federal agents violated their First Amendment rights.
They systematically retaliated against people who were protesting against ICE or...
just trying to document what ICE or CBP was doing in Minnesota.
That lawsuit includes a lot of just regular everyday Americans.
