Far-left anti-ICE agitator Maria Santay livestreamed her arrest as she impeded an ICE operation in Southern California on Friday.
Santay, who is associated with the far-left group “ICE Out of LA,” livestreamed the arrest from a Chevron gas station in El Monte, California.
She joined a group of far-left agitators at the gas station who were blowing whistles and ringing cowbells at federal agents.
“Don’t shoot at my window! What the ****!” Santay shouted as federal agents surrounded her vehicle.
“Lord protect me please!” Santy shouted as she mustered up fake tears for her social media followers.
“These guys are breaking my windows, guys!” Santay shouts to her Instagram feed. “They’re breaking my window guys, I’m a US citizen! Insane! This guy is breaking my window guys!”
“Get out of the car! Out of the car!” federal agents shouted.
“They’re going to try to arrest me!” she repeated to her social media followers. “This is insane. I can’t believe this is happening, guys! Lord, please protect me! Lord, please! Guys, I don’t trust them!”

Anti-ICE Agitator Livestreams Her Arrest As She Impedes Federal Agents
This is not Santay’s first brush with federal law enforcement agents.
Earlier this week, federal agents pulled her over near the 10 Freeway for reportedly stalking ICE agents.
Santay laughably told ABC 7 that she feared for her life.
“I thought, ‘This is it. These are my last moments,'” she said.
“One of the officers got on the curb on the middle island to box my car in, one came on here, and one was behind me. Because of all the commotion, the police department got there,” she told ABC 7.
Local law enforcement did not intervene as federal agents took Santay into custody and drove her to Santa Ana.
Santay was charged with resisting arrest.

‘It seems so easy not to get arrested’
Exactly, it’s called obeying the law.
Confession? I've broken the law a couple times. Years ago I had an old Dodge muscle car going 120 in a 75mph. Not caught.
I've jay-walked on three continents. No tickets.
Been stopped and frisked by cops in four or six countries. Maybe eight, including several states in the US. I never got shot or arrested. Know why? I wasn't breaking the law.
Its OK if they break ICE windows. 🙄
She should be charged with being an America Hater...
Don't insult ash trays...those are smarter...
That’s great! Thanks!
A good question...
Maybe she did not want to risk her life...
In the past, some protestors killed themselves by setting themselves on fire...
There was one protestor in Vietnam a long time ago...
There was also an anti-Trump protestor who set himself on fire...

I have not heard about any anti-ICE protestor setting himself on fire...Yet...
Sounds like the makings for a game of bingo!
Also, I can’t breath, hands up don’t shoot, what’s your name and badge #, don’t touch me!,ect.
I’m a US citizen! Insane! This guy is breaking my window guys.
Wonder if she says that as the illegals are breaking into her home?
