The anti-ICE activist playbook is not subtle. Show up at an immigration enforcement operation. Get in the agents’ faces. Record everything. Hope someone uses force so you can post “police brutality” content and fundraise off it. It’s a coordinated tactic, and it’s been documented repeatedly.
Maria Negrete Raya — a Mexican national in the country illegally — participated in what appears to have been a coordinated effort to interfere with ICE agents as they concluded a detainment operation. Video captured by her own group shows her opening the door of an ICE vehicle as agents were attempting to leave the scene. That forced agents to exit the vehicle and physically deal with the disruption. Raya ended up on the ground. Fellow activists jumped in. The whole thing was caught on camera — by the activists themselves.
