Florida hair and makeup artist and mother of three Angelique Contreras received an intimidating late-night knock on the door from a law enforcement officer in Palm Beach County after she published anti-mask posts on Facebook. NATIONAL FILE has obtained video footage of this disturbing 10:30 PM encounter. Contreras verbally confirmed with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office that it was a sheriff’s officer who made the house call.
According to Contreras, Palm Beach County is trying to send citizens who can’t wear masks due to medical exemptions into a parking garage basement while County Commission meetings take place. Local press reporting confirms that mask-exempt citizens who want to speak at meetings will be sent to a separate building beneath a parking garage, instead of being able to address their leaders directly.
When a man on Facebook joked about dumping garbage onto a County Administrator’s lawn, Contreras replied with the retort, “thousands of Mask(s).” This was enough to get the sheriff’s office to show up to her house, with the officer making clear that such Facebook posts are monitored in this day and age. Contreras’ children are aged 11, 3, and 1.
“No matter what a person’s political beliefs are, I do not believe anyone deserves to be bullied by our local government officials. We should not be intimidated by law enforcement. What happened at my house was clearly political intimidation,” Angelique Contreras, who hails from a family of patriotic Cuban refugees, told NATIONAL FILE. “I know what Communism is and we have been living in it for the past year.”
Contreras replied to a friend’s joke, stating that they could leave “thousands of Mask” on a county commissioner’s lawn. Contreras said the post could be interpreted to mean leaving masks on public property where county government meetings take place.
“As a United States citizen I do have the right to peacefully protest on any public property and I don’t understand why I was chosen to be intimidated and harassed for my posts,” Contreras said. “In regards to my situation, I want to know who’s watching my Facebook page, who is the unknown citizen who was on my property and the officer’s dereliction of duty, and who gave the order.”
If you can't provide the technical specifications and the procedure for fitting, then you can't make any scientific claims regarding effectiveness.
Can’t make jokes anymore. Thousands of masks dumped on a lawn would be terrible awful.
She’s probably extremely fortunate that her dog lived through the encounter.
“Can’t make jokes anymore. Thousands of masks dumped on a lawn would be terrible awful.”
Had the same thought. This kind of bullying probably just created a movement.
Go hang your disgusting used mask on a tree in front of Pelosi’s compound.
I think they need a phone call from the Governor.
Our mayor in Jacksonville decided to create a “mask enforcement unit,” even though they’re not required by the state or even the county, to harass outdoor events and restaurants. The sheriff refused to do it so he created health department brownshIrts on bicycles who would show up various places and give out tickets or threaten to arrest people. DeSantis had to speak to him firmly, invalidated the city’s power to actually enforce or collect on the tickets, and basically told the mayor that he’d gone overboard. The bicycle enforcers have quietly faded away.
The Karens on Nextdoor are disappointed. They were so loving squealing on their neighbors...
Good for her!
She is correct. Communist training. Including the muzzles.
Glad to see a “Latino” in the mix, along with her anti-communist comments!
Was the Swat Team busy on other matters?
“...it was a sheriff’s officer who made the house call.”
How can this be? I’m constantly hearing about how sheriffs are the good-guy LEOs who would never enforce unconstitutional stuff.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Some members of the police forces are fast working themselves into a situation where no one in the community will back them up.
The BLM /ANTIFA terrorists absolutely hate the police and want to defund or kill them. Meanwhile come Gestapo like totally stupid policemen are busy building up hate from the very conservatives who have backed them through thick and thin.
Not very smart is it?
“Was the Swat Team busy on other matters?”
Yes, they heard a Republican had a new puppy.

‘We need more “wise Latinas”’, as someone once said....................
All who love America are welcome in my book.
Dems by definition are commies in principle and hate America.
The sheriff is a lowly Democrat...
Cop wasn’t wearing a mask.
Why not?
ML/NJ
He is a Democrat.
.nuff said.
