Trump Caught On Tape as His Invasion Declared Illegal

0:00And we're live on match day as Doug reaches for a buffalo wing. He's got it. Oh, and he's gone for a can of Pepsi, too. What a finish. There's no doubt about it. It just tastes better. Match days deserve Pepsi.

0:14Ben Meiselas:We have it all on tape. We have the videos, we have the photos, we have the receipts. I'm going to show it to you. Donald Trump unleashing his militarized Gestapo ICE agents across cities and towns in the United States of America. They are utilizing chemical agents against people inside the United States. They are indiscriminately attacking individuals on the street. They are disappearing people to concentration camps. I need to show you what is taking place. And this comes at the same time that a Trump-appointed judge in Oregon made a major ruling on Saturday afternoon that Donald Trump was trying to utilize martial law through unconstitutional, protectual means to turn the United States into a military state.

1:05Ben Meiselas:I think we are already a military state, But to hear a Trump-appointed judge from 2019 use the words military state like that send chills down my spine, and it should across the entire country and the world. No matter what political party you're from, what I'm about to show you right now shocks the conscience. It is despicable, but we have to watch it. Please share this with as many people as you can. Here you have Portland ice agents jumping into a brawl to pepper spray a person in a frog costume. And you'll notice that they spray inside the frog costume where the person's like able to breathe in order to put the chemical agents into the frog costume.

1:54Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip.

2:01Ben Meiselas:and just so you can see what was taking place before they put the chemical agents into the frog suit just take a look at this here play this clip

2:32Ben Meiselas:Then over here, this is in Chicago yesterday. They've been using these chemical agents on people in Chicago to try to provoke a reaction. They've been doing this for multiple days now. You probably saw the video I did on Saturday, but here we have ICE agents and military personnel terrorizing peaceful communities in Chicago. And you'll see the chemical agents that are used to try to suffocate the people in Chicago. And we've heard multiple stories of children who got very sick and others who inhaled these chemical agents. Here play this clip.

3:20That's what you're protecting, officer. What a wonderful man! Oh, what a better! What a better! Watch your hands! Watch your hands!

3:40Careful!

4:09Ben Meiselas:While these peaceful protests were taking place in Chicago, you had Kristi Noem, as Molly Plufkins explains, posing proudly from a sniper's nest aimed at the protesters. This is what they're doing. It's absolutely despicable. Play this clip.

4:39Ben Meiselas:And Jake Sheridan, he's been doing incredible work on the ground. Here he talks about angry crowds have been following and chasing ice through Chicago. Play this clip.

5:11Ben Meiselas:And again, they're just like, get out of our towns. What the hell are you doing here? here's a person on TikTok, BS Creates, someone who was in the area as ICE was apparently shooting people in a Home Depot parking lot in Chicago. Look at the vehicles you can see right there, just these militarized tanks rolling in. And again, Donald Trump sending the troops, federalizing troops in Illinois. But again, this comes at a time where we got that powerful ruling from the Trump judge in Portland, Oregon. But let's play this clip. Oh my God.

5:59Ben Meiselas:Oh my God.

6:06Oh my, oh my God, that's so scary.

6:18Ben Meiselas:Gregory Royal Pratt posts this next one. This is tear gas at 39th and Kedzie. Here, play this clip.

6:43You will get justice. You will get justice.

7:17Ben Meiselas:and armando sanchez post is this one here's the current scene near 39th and kedzy in chicago with a large group of federal agents and protesters after it seemed that the ice gestapo agent shot an individual here play this clip

7:46Ben Meiselas:Now earlier, this was from Friday, ICE deploying tear gas on the crowded public street with two-year-olds and others requiring medical care after this. Play this clip.

8:17Fuck you, you fuckers. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you, bitches.

8:41Ben Meiselas:In this next video, you'll see ICE body slamming an unarmed US citizen to the ground who is just standing on a public sidewalk. Stop, he's not doing anything, the woman filming cries. You're next, the agent threatens her. This happened three blocks away from where a woman was shot by agents during an ICE patrol a couple of hours earlier. The violent takedown in this video occurred near the corner of West 37th and South Kedzie in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago. Here play this clip. Step back. Step back. I'm on a public school.

9:17He's not doing anything. You're seeing that.

9:23Oh, oh, he's not doing anything. He's not doing anything. I'm gonna stand right here. I'm gonna stand right here. I'm gonna stand right here. He's not doing anything.

9:50Ben Meiselas:Now, this is the type of videos that ICE is putting out as well from the official Homeland Security account. They write, expel criminal illegal aliens, save America. I'll show you a portion of this commercial. As my friend Sandy Bacon writes, this has to be the same advertising agency that Bukele, the dictator of El Salvador, uses for his prison videos. She goes, I produced commercials my whole career. This is exactly the same template, music, editing, drones. And like the prison video, it was not shot in one night. So this is what ICE is releasing to try to terrorize people across the country.

10:29Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip.

10:59Ben Meiselas:You probably have seen those ads before as well. And we talked about yesterday, I showed a video where a Blackhawk helicopter raided an apartment complex in Chicago. And then they separated, they tied up like as though they were criminals, even though we're not dealing with, you know, most of these people weren't criminals there. They had a group of kind of black people in their own area and immigrants in their own, you know, and people who they viewed as migrants, like just tied up after a Black Hawk helicopter shows up and starts wreaking havoc. I want to give a shout out to the Robbie Harvey here does an incredible video.

11:41Ben Meiselas:This is what's happening in courtrooms across the country right now. I've showed you what happens in the New York courtroom. But in federal courtrooms, you just have these ICE agents who don't identify themselves. They're just wearing like sweatshirts. They wear like civilian clothes. They don't show warrants. And then they just pull up to people and then disappear into concentration camps. Watch this. Watch this man get detained by ICE. And then in a moment, I'm going to tell you exactly what's going on. He's going to remain silent. You have no arrest warrant either. So let's go. Let's go. Let's see the arrest warrant, Ben.

12:14You don't have a right to let go of him Let go of him Where's the arrest warrant? You don't have to talk to him Yes, he's not going to talk to you

12:26He's going to stay quiet He's not going to say anything You have no confirmation of anything

12:36This is the third time Pushing down the elevator Go down and you're preventing us to go downstairs You're preventing us Again, you're blocking the elevator third time they were trying to go downstairs. He's coming with me. You have no idea who he is. Let's go. Let's go this way. Again, you're holding him without an arrest warrant.

13:01Let's see the arrest warrant, sirs. Let's see the arrest warrant. Let's go.

13:14Where's the arrest warrant, guys? I've spoken with people connected to the situation. They tell me that this man is in the country seeking asylum, and he's going through the court process right now. And he's done everything that the United States has asked him to do. He's done everything that the courts has asked him to do. And he showed up at the court hearing on this day in good faith, expecting that the United States would treat him fairly and that he would do what is asked of him. Instead, he was tricked and detained by ICE without, apparently, an arrest warrant. Let me get yourself. Just say, shake your head yes.

13:53Thank you very much. Where are we going?

14:00According to his attorney, they will be fighting this and they will fight for their client.

14:05Ben Meiselas:I'll keep you updated. it. And then finally, I want to show you this, that a man who was shot in the head at an ICE detention center in Dallas, his family was never notified. They found out because there was a video of him on TikTok describing him being shot. The family didn't have any idea if he was dead or alive for several days. The worst goes through your mind, even more so when you don't have information, said the father. It's something I wouldn't wish upon anybody here. Play this clip. Revealing his gunshot wounds, this was the first sight two parents got of their injured son. One of three men shot at a Dallas ice facility.

14:43We feel so worried. We're in distress, says his father, who lives in Venezuela. Their son, Jose Andres Bordones, a dad of two, was the only survivor. He says they've received little to no information. Bordones' wife, who also lives in Venezuela, learned he was one of the detainees shot through a TikTok video. The worst goes through your mind, even more so when you don't have information. It's something I wouldn't wish on anyone. He says this is his son, seen running into the facility with bloodied shorts. According to ICE, Bordones was taken to Parkland Health Hospital and released back into ICE custody.

15:23He last told his family he was at the Prairieland Detention Center. What's going to happen to my son? His dad asks. What would you like to see happen? First and foremost, he needs medical attention, his dad says. Bordones was grazed on his head and required stitches. They worry his safety while in custody is at risk. ICE arrested Bordones after he was jailed for an alleged traffic offense in Hearst. Like many, he immigrated for the American dream, Unfortunately, he got a nightmare, his dad says. This father, desperate to see his son heal and return home, says he is begging the U.S. government for help.

16:10In Dallas, I'm Adriana Dalba. ICE tells us that Bordone still faces deportation proceedings.

16:18Ben Meiselas:There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. I want to give a shout out to all of those citizen journalists and journalists who are doing heroic work out there. I just think it's so critical in this time where our nation is captured by an authoritarian regime that we show you what's going on. And those individuals are the real heroes too right now.
