Retired couple in shock as ICE points guns at them after church: 'Demeanor of criminals!'
A retired Minnesota couple recalled how Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents held them at gunpoint after church.
The couple spoke to Paul Graham about their encounter in a video posted this week.
"ICE agents who had the audacity to come and try to arrest and kidnap people leaving church on a Sunday morning," the man remembered. "We turned into a parking lot and were greeted by approximately four unmarked ice vehicles with agents who immediately stopped us and pointed semi-automatic weapons in our face, asked us to roll down the windows, threatened us multiple times with arrest."
The couple said they were told that ICE did not need a warrant for their arrest.
"They continued to threaten us multiple times, pointing guns at my wife and I's face. And we were kind of trapped," the man explained.
"I was scared," the woman admitted. "I've never had two guns pointed at me."
"We're a retired couple. And this is terrorism," the man insisted. "They took pictures of my car and my license. It's a personalized license that I made in memory of my grandchildren. And they mocked it. They were acerbic."
The man said that he knew police officers and determined the ICE agents "weren't trained at all."
"They just had collected their $50,000," he remarked. "No level of professionalism. They had the professional demeanor of criminals."
"They were like the insurrectionists you saw pictures up at the Capitol," he added. "It's unbelievable. It makes me ashamed."

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."
