Shocking moment taco truck workers are hauled away by masked men claiming to be ICE agents
UK DAILY MAIL ^ | 11 February 2025 | WILL POTTER

Shocking footage captured the moment three taco truck workers were hauled away by a burly group of men claiming to be ICE agents.

Video of the interaction was shared by Memphis taco truck company Taconganas, which said the men 'entered one of our trucks and took away several of our employees' on Monday morning.

'We were not told beforehand, and we have not been told since,' the taco business said on Facebook.

The footage showed four men in jeans and hoodies walking up to the eatery and confronting three restaurant workers before escorting them away.

Some are wearing balaclavas and face coverings. None are wearing ICE uniforms.

ICE is yet to respond to the footage or confirm whether the men were sent by them.

The food truck, which insisted that it 'complies with federal and local immigration laws', said on social media that it has been in contact with the workers and 'they've been told they're being detained by ICE.'

'We don’t know if the men you see in the video work for ICE or for someone else. You’ll see they have no uniforms, do not show any badge or ID, and did not leave any identifying information or paperwork,' the taco business said.

Why is it shocking? If they are illegals, then it’s not shocking at all that ICE would take them away...

We’ve got to do a better job. We can’t allow our illegals to be treated like that.

How are they communicating with the guys held by “ICE”?

Maybe this is publicity stunt?

Given the source, I tend to agree. Some U.K. libtard made up story of Ice running amok or vigilantes. Either way, what’s the problem? They can make tacos in Mexico.

ICE is now pretty much forced to work undercover due to the FBI being on the side of the Illegals.

“The food truck, which insisted that it ‘complies with federal and local immigration laws’”

They were playing Mexican language music in the truck.

Geez, now every arrest is assumed to be ICE. These guys could be any kind of plainclothes LEO to local bikers with a beef.

ICE or cartels looking for payback, either way it’s a win.

That’s the whole purpose of the way the article was written, to make the taking of illegals sound illegal. Typical leftist journalism.

On the other hand, making it sound like kidnapping isn’t a bad thing as it could scare more illegals into self deporting. They might think they are red necks taking them off to get whacked.

Maybe these were some cartel boys getting after this taco truck. Due to the owner being late on paying back money the cartel had loaned him. Plus the local Mexicans got pissed off at his lousy mystery meat ptomaine tacos and loud mariachi music. Rumor was this truck was snatching ducks in the park and making BBQ chicken tacos out of them. Pet cats and dogs were also disappearing.

No, I'm saying it probably wasn't ICE, it was a gang.

Watch the video, it is ICE or some other official act of some sort.
