Anti-ICE Protesters Harass Random Man For Crime Of Driving A Chevrolet Suburban (GMT1YC)
The Daily Caller ^ | January 15, 2026 | Jack Cowhick

Posted on 01/16/2026 9:39:02 AM PST by WhiteHatBobby0701

Protesters harassed a man driving a rental SUV after appearing to mistake him for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, a video that went viral on X Thursday shows.

The video, which was originally posted to TikTok, shows the man opening the trunk of a white Chevrolet Suburban GMT1YC as a woman inspects its contents. Another woman noted that the man, who later in the video said that he worked for a media outlet, “has a lot of camera equipment” before accusing him of being an ICE agent.

“I’m not. I tried to tell the first lady. Nobody believed me. That’s all I can do is tell you,” the man said in the video.

As protesters continued to question him, the man told them, “I really appreciate what y’all are doing.”

One female protester began to ask the man if he was present at the location the day prior. Another one answered, “Yes, he was here yesterday, I can testify that. I didn’t recognize him.”

The man started to thank her before being interrupted by the woman who said, “I’m not here to help you.”

He then attempted to clarify that the vehicle was a rental when the woman interrupted him again, saying, “You can go rent something else.”

Another protester told the man, “I think you gotta understand that people were thinking.”

The man appeared to tell a protester he worked for NBC, later saying “I told him I was with the media.”

Protests against ICE have escalated throughout the country in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis on Jan. 7. Anti-ICE protesters in the city Wednesday vandalized a vehicle they believed was being used by federal agents, according to Fox News. A photograph of the vehicle in question showed the words “The only good agent is a dead one” spray-painted in red across its driver’s side, and at least one of its windows broken.

The Chevrolet Tahoe GMT1UC is used for police work because the 325CI V8 is the only body-on-frame police vehicle left as police vehicles are going monocoque with smaller engines.

The GMT1UC is a short-wheelbase version of the GMT1YC chassis.

"GMT1YC" denotes the chassis designation. The previous (2014-19) model is "GMTK".

I’m glad it wasn’t me. Their soft passive aggressive you will comply tones would have been hard to take.

The thing is it’s much easier to harass a Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban driver than any other vehicle.

The lesson is, if you drive the type of vehicle ICE typically uses, TRAVEL ARMED!

Vehicles in insurrection areas need to be equipped with Mace sprayers in the wheel wells and under the front/back bumpers.

My niece would just make up something completely over-the-top, and go right back at 'em - maybe something like:

"You're just harassing me because I'm trans, and gender fluid! I'm so freaking tired of you transphobic bigots, threatening me everywhere I go! LEAVE - ME - ALONE!!!"

;^)

Leftist:

“You can go rent something else”

They love issuing orders.

They are not so good at taking them.

When he showed them his camera equipment and they realized he wasn’t ICE, I’m surprised they didn’t harass him for destroying the planet with a SUV.

TRAVEL ARMED!


Local cops will happily arrest you if you show any aggression towards the ‘mostly peaceful’ citizens resisting Federal aggression of their fine state.

On the other hand there’s a chance, a slim one no doubt, that there will be at least one sane person on the jury.

Leftwing terrorists and their Enemedia mouthpieces moan that ICE arrests innocent U.S. citizens, yet these insurrectionists stop and invade the privacy of an innocent person.

When they try this attack on an armed citizen and then escalate it to an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm, these terrorists may end up with a few extra holes.

Sounds like some of these protesters are soon going to make the mistake of whipping up on the wrong Suburban driver one of these days soon & end up getting their head handed to them...... And they would have it coming to them.

well, they did technically impede his movement (kidnapping), that could be construed also as a fed crime I believe (they believed he was a fed agent).

So the people complaining about ICE stopping and detaining citizens are stopping and detaining citizens?

“””When he showed them his camera equipment and they realized he wasn’t ICE, I’m surprised they didn’t harass him for destroying the planet with a SUV.””””

I’m surprised they didn’t steal it all.

And the chick who comes out and said she owns the place and doesn’t want vehicles like that in her lot. She’s nuts, Jim.

I really hope one of them (or more) gets set on fire or something. That would be great.
