The ‘ICE pistol whipping a kid’ clip is being misidentified. It is LAPD, not ICE, arresting a carjacking suspect.

That clip everyone is screaming about does not show ICE or Border Patrol. The video shows a black and white marked patrol car and uniformed officers consistent with LAPD, not federal immigration agents, and LAPD operates in Long Beach while ICE does not do random street snatches like this. People keep repeating “unaccompanied minor” and “hands up” because it sounds explosive, but nobody wants to admit they never checked the uniforms, the car, or the jurisdiction. This is what viral dishonesty looks like. The truth gets trampled while outrage gets clicks.
