Kern County ICE agents slash tires of US citizen in random detainment.

Headline: WATCH: Bakersfield resident captures confrontation with Border Patrol agent

A 44-year-old father of four, Campos, has lived in the U.S. for 30 years and became a citizen over a decade ago. He’s lived in Bakersfield for over 20 years and owns a landscaping business with four employees.

He was driving to work when an unmarked car turned its patrol lights on. Campos says he stopped, shut off his engine and gave agents his driver license.

When he wouldn’t give them his car keys, they slashed his tires he told 17 News.

Kern County is a shithole of Trump lovers. This will continue to happen after inauguration day.

I'd take my chances with having the local ICE out to get me versus the local ICE and the OIG.

If the report is anonymous, you especially dont have anything to worry about...

Also the OIG still generally investigates fully and completely all legitimate reports. Whether the director is a POS is a whole different story...

For those who don't know: OIG is entirely an internal investigations agency meant to prevent and respond to corruption and abuse.
