Disturbing moment ICE agent presses his boot on the neck of a Honduran undocumented immigrant for 24 SECONDS during 2018 raid at a Tennessee slaughterhouse

Surveillance video footage revealed during at a federal court hearing shows the brutal moment an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent drove his foot into the neck on undocumented migrant from Honduras during a 2018 raid at a slaughterhouse in Tennessee.

The footage is part of a lawsuit brought forward by 100 Latino workers who were arrested in what at the time was the biggest workplace raid in a decade.

The video - which was first aired by NBC News- shows the Honduran man, who is not named in the lawsuit, being chased by the ICE agents into a locker room at the Southeastern Provision slaughterhouse on April 5, 2018.

The three men disappeared briefly from the view of the security camera before the ICE agents tackled the migrant and pinned him down.

The migrant did not appear to be resisting arrest and one of the ICE agents, identified as John Witsell, lied on top of him and then repositions himself kneeling near his head before they were able to handcuff him.

Witsell subsequently stood up and pressed his boot on the man's neck for 24 seconds and then stepped off.

Witsell also assaulted another migrant worker, hitting him in the head without being provoked, according to a court record obtained by the Tennessee Lookout.

An ICE spokesperson declined to speak on the lawsuit, but said that "it is important to note that ICE does not tolerate misconduct and is undergoing an in-depth review of its use of force policies, standards, and training to ensure that its policies and practices are consistent with President Biden’s historic Executive Order to advance effective, accountable policing and to strengthen public safety.”

I can imagine in his own country, and the countries he passed through on his way here, they would my ass for being there illegally and running from them.

Keeping ignoring this detail...

I’m not particularly disturbed about this, but it’s early. Maybe I’ll have another coffee and try watching it again....perhaps my “give a damn” will kick in.

On the border issue my “giveadamn” is completely busted — coffee won’t help — and due to supply chain issues caused by the illegal Brandon gov’t, the parts to fix it are on deep back-order. ;-)

But it’s never “the disturbing moment an illegal invader robs/rapes/murders” someone.

That's not all the DM is ignoring...

ON THE FRONTLINE Britain signs new immigration deal with Nepal that could see former Gurkhas rescue the NHS

Pitical parties mean bugger all in the UK, too.

You're either Deep State or any enemy of the state.

And the vast majority of the UK's pols, like ours, are Deep State.

And now both countries have open borders.

Not one thing is disturbing about that. Chasing him all the way back to Honduras with a pack of rabid dogs wouldn’t be disturbing. It would be fun to watch.

Deport them all.

Stop re-electing Amnesty Senators.

IF you want to keep your country.

"...Witsell subsequently stood up and pressed his boot on the man's neck for 24 seconds and then stepped off. ..."

And because the illegal Mexican alien wasn't on fentanyl, not only did he NOT die, he got up (with help) and walked away none the worse for wear.

Which proves it was the drugs killed George Floyd and Officer Chauvin was framed.
