While I thought the move to airports was to eliminate the opportunity of poorly trained agents to kill Americans, the latest episodes and ideas are completely out of line and violates civil rights.
1. The agents are using harassing behaviors to attempt to reveal the identity of people to decide on the spot if the person is an illegal immigrant. In a recent episode there were at least half a dozen agents that entered a private job cite looking for a person with a name. While a couple agents went hunting for the person with a name the other agents interrupted the workers on their jobs while trying them with suspicion and harassment techniques. One agent stated, “We got him (referring to the man with a name) and at that point and only that point the other agents stopped harassing American citizens on their jobs while trying. I remind these agents have at the very least side arms. The American citizens don’t.
Now, the agency is thinking of deploying agents with electronic gloves. These gloves are basically stun guns. All an agent has to do is touch someone and an electric shock travels through the body as a stun gun would. It is a form of torture.
These techniques are dangerously illegal. They will torture and kill people.
