ICE agent points firearm at woman in car filming in Santa Ana, prompting police response
Th e Orange County Register ^ | November 10, 2025 | SIERRA VAN DER BRUG

...

The officer was on his way back to Fullerton after transporting an inmate to the Orange County Jail, police said.

...

In video from the scene, the man is dressed in plainclothes, with a badge on his belt. He approaches the car while holding his gun near his chest, pointing it at the woman’s vehicle.

He and the woman, recording from inside her vehicle, exchange words as he approaches.

“You can’t be following us like that,” the agent says at one point.

“I live here,” the woman responds.

He told the police officer the woman in the vehicle behind him had been following and recording him, Fullerton police said in a statement. The officer told the ICE agent he could not help him if he was being followed and recorded if no crime had been committed.

Police said the woman left the area and the Fullerton officer “reiterated” that he couldn’t assist the ICE agent if no crime had taken place. The officer then left, police said.

...

An ICE spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, said the civilian driver, who was in a white Nissan, screamed at the officer and tried to cause a collision.

“Our officers followed their training and activated emergency lights, exited their vehicle, identified themselves as law enforcement, and ordered the aggressive driver to stop. To defend himself, following the aggression of the driver and her refusal to follow law enforcement commands, our officer followed his training and drew his weapon. The driver fled the scene before local police arrived and is still at large,” McLaughlin said.

She said the interaction is part of a “growing… trend” of vehicles being used against agents. McLaughlin characterized the Fullerton officer’s response as a declination to help.

“A Fullerton police officer arrived at the scene but declined to help our law enforcement, stating it was an immigration matter. This is just another example of sanctuary policies undermining public safety by promoting lawlessness,” she said in a statement.

Pretty much says it all.

More lies from the media and the headline is fake news. The office pulled out his gun in response to the woman stalking him with her car, a clear potential threat.

No, no, no. It’s clearly a case of an innocent civilian minding her own business when, out of nowhere, an ICE agent draws his weapon on her and threatens to murder her in cold blood.

Get your facts straight!

A vehicle can be used as a deadly weapon. Sounds like ICE was justified here.

She’s lucky the Navy didn’t think she was transporting drugs.

“The resistance” has been trained to “fight back” so they are following their training too.

Follow the Fullerton police officer’s wife and record her.

See what that gets you.

Indeed stalking is a clear warning sign she has a case od C.U.N.T. can’t understand normal thinking.

If she wants to be a reporter join a news company.

She should have been arrested and federally charged with impeding ICE officers.

California has a stalking law I believe.

While I am sympathetic to the ICE officer, my intuition tells me that this is a Rashomon type of incident, where the truth of what actual occurred cannot be known and what we think we know depends wholly on the teller's viewpoint.

“The repeated nature of these actions is important; a single incident typically does not qualify as stalking under California law”

https://www.aerlawgroup.com/blog/a-breakdown-of-california-stalking-laws/

I suspect that once the person is told to not follow, a subsequent following would be an offense.

Imagine if you were a woman on an LA street and a creepy looking guy was following you. If you told him to not follow and he follows, then the law should apply.

“Posting offensive or threatening messages or spreading personal information about the victim on public forums can be considered cyberstalking, especially if it causes reasonable fear.”

Cop is right - not illegal to photograph law enforcement. Everyone should have a dashcam - including (or perhaps especially) ICE.

You get out of your car with a gun and approach another driver, you are the aggressor. Cop probably should have run in the ICE guy for brandishing, and let the courts work it out.

What cooperation with federal immigration authorities is required by law? (Georgetown Law)

- To maintain federal supremacy while preserving the police powers reserved to the states by the Tenth Amendment against commandeering by the federal government, the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) provides for voluntary cooperation by state and local officials with federal immigration enforcement efforts in limited circumstances and under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

- Under the INA, state and local officials may, but are not required to, communicate with DHS about the immigration status of any person, including whether a person is not lawfully present in the United States. 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g)(10)(A).

- Also under the INA, state and local officials may, but are not required to, “otherwise cooperate” with DHS “in the identification, apprehension, detention, or removal” of people not lawfully present in the United States. 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g)(10)(B). Cooperation, against the backdrop of federal supremacy, refers to rendering assistance to DHS officers within any parameters set by DHS and under DHS’s control and supervision at all times.

- Beyond the communication and cooperation referred to above, state and local officials may not perform the functions of federal immigration officers absent a written agreement between the state or local government entity and DHS. The most common of these is known as a § 287(g) agreement. 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g)(1)


Orange County ended its 287(g) agreement in 2018.
