Looked like some random assholes beating on an old man. They should have arrested them.

Plain clothes, nothing that declares they are an agent, walks away when confronted... That's all suspicious as hell. It could just be a fucking mugging.
"When the pair realized they were being filmed, they walked away, leaving the man with a handcuff attached to one arm.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police found no outstanding warrants for the man, removed his handcuffs and notified ICE."
FUCK ICE
Uhm, they were trying to arrest him at the international terminal? International terminals are Sterile Zones, where departing passengers have formally exited the country. That's pretty much like ICE arresting someone while they're physically in Mexico.
It's hard to tell, the article is poorly written. There's something about an Australian guy getting arrested at LAX, not sure if that's related to what happened in LV or not.
At any rate, it's kinda stupid to arrest someone at an airport even before they've gone through security. They're likely leaving the country and will have to present themselves to a customs official anyway. Instead of wasting money on prosecuting someone that overstayed, it's better just to let them leave, maybe charge them a fine or whatever.
It's just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.
it's like arresting someone for theft before they leave the store. If you want them to leave let them leave. Waste if taxpayer money.
It’s just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.
Cruelty is the point.
And, of course, for the sake of meeting quotas.
Unless we all band together and start pushing back and defend ourselves we will all be on the ground cuffed or have a bullet hole in our heads.
I also want to point out how often these violent goons dress exactly like the sterotypical violent goons showcased in "get your CCW!" posters and targets; the ones responsible Americans are supposed to be training to protect themselves from getting jumped by.
Weird, huh?
Otherwise they dress like the school bully whose mom gave them $50 to spend at the airsoft store.
One video posted on social media showed a man yelling and crying on the ground in Terminal 3 at Harry Reid International Airport on Monday when a man and a masked woman, both in plainclothes, tried to control, handcuff and detain him. When the pair realized they were being filmed, they walked away, leaving the man with a handcuff attached to one arm.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police found no outstanding warrants for the man, removed his handcuffs and notified ICE.
They know what they’re doing is illegal, and accountability terrifies them.
Is there some reason to assume these were even actual ICE agents? That pair should have been detained/arrested pending a determination of their identities and evidence that they have the legal authority to assault and detain anyone. This could very well have been an attempted kidnapping disguised as an ICE attack. If the fucking cops don't detain them, we'll never actually know.

Maybe citizens should start physically intervening when non-uniformed people are trying to cuff random folks.
You mean like Renee and Alex?
It's happening every day, we just aren't hearing about it.
I live here and even I have to dig to find the reports and videos.
