Summary courtesy of CantStopPoppin:
On February 1, 2025, a disturbing campaign of surveillance began targeting a Spokane family. According to firsthand accounts, ICE agents started shadowing the family nearly two months before the dramatic incident. In a calculated move, one of the agents even pretended to hit the family’s parked car. This staged accident was designed to give them a pretext to detain the husband on the spot while investigators “looked him up” as part of their covert operation.
Then, on April 30, 2025, the situation escalated dramatically. ICE agents arrived at the Diaz home without a warrant and refused to properly identify themselves. In the ensuing chaos, Martin R. Diaz—a devoted business owner, long-time U.S. resident of over 33 years with no connection to any gangs—was brutally tackled and restrained right outside his home. Witnesses report that this aggressive intervention was the culmination of a meticulously planned operation that had been in motion for weeks.
After the violent confrontation, Diaz was swiftly transported to a high-security facility in Northern Idaho, a detention center known for hosting individuals with links to extremist groups, including members of the Proud Boys. The combination of prolonged stalking, deceptive tactics, and forceful detention has raised significant questions about ICE's methods and the apparent disregard for due process.
A TikTok video capturing parts of these unsettling events has gained widespread attention for showing the shocking tactics employed by the agents. You can view the TikTok coverage here.

This incident has ignited fierce debate among civil rights advocates, community leaders, and legal experts, as many call for a thorough investigation into ICE's practices. As the community seeks answers and accountability, this case serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences when law enforcement agencies overstep established legal boundaries.
Progressives need to drop the whole anti gun thing. The social contract has been broken, the state will not protect us. The only people who have means to protect themselves nowadays are right wing chuds who don't have to obey the law and fascist law enforcement who are immune from it.
If one of these kidnapping teams rightfully gets a couple of their agents blown away because they aren't following the law and announcing themselves as law enforcement, maybe they'll think again before kidnapping families off the street.
Sorry to be a bit pedantic, but: Leftists don’t have an “anti gun thing,” that’s actually a liberal virtue signal, and most of those people are far more conservative than “progressive.”
Many of us on the left are armed and well trained in the use of firearms, we just don’t make it our whole life’s identity.
A great leader in leftist ideology once said that the workers should never surrender their guns and ammo, and you know what? He was right.
Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
organized armed minorities make politicians afraid.
Honestly the biggest problem with being left and armed, is finding other people with similar views to organize with. Specifically because we don't advertise and make it half of our entire personality (usually).
