Critical Viewing: 'Trump CAUGHT ON TAPE as PLANS BACKFIRE' Meidas Touch
TRANSCRIPT Donald Trump has been caught on camera
0:02
once again. We have the receipts here at
0:05
the Midas Touch Network as Donald Trump
0:07
unleashes hell and havoc with his
0:09
Gustapo, his militarized ICE forces,
0:12
attacking migrants and citizens alike,
0:14
throwing them into concentration camps.
0:17
We have ICE agents shooting at people,
0:20
breaking people's arms, pummeling people
0:22
to the ground, disappearing them where
0:24
they're never to be heard from again.
0:26
This is sickening. This is happening in
0:28
the United States. Please share this
0:30
video with as many people as you can. It
0:32
is critical that we get the word out.
0:34
Here is new video exposing ICE and
0:37
Department of Homeland Security shooting
0:40
people in San Bernardino. Shooting
0:43
people because of their skin color. And
0:47
you'll hear from their lawyer. This is
0:49
horrific behavior here. Play this clip.
0:51
Surveillance video captures the moment
0:53
three unmarked trucks surround Francisco
0:55
Longorio's work truck Saturday morning
0:57
in San Bernardino. Moments later,
1:01
hey, you can't do that.
1:05
Cell phone video from inside shows mass
1:07
men smashing the driver and passenger
1:09
windows.
1:10
Mr. Longoria, fearing for his own safety
1:14
and for that of his passengers,
1:17
drove off.
1:19
That's when one of the masked
1:20
individuals began opening fire on the
1:23
passenger side of the vehicle.
1:25
Two bullet holes marked where the shots
1:27
narrowly missed Vongoria's teenage son.
1:30
He says the men never showed a warrant
1:32
or identified themselves as federal
1:34
agents.
1:35
We are here to call upon city, county,
1:39
and state officials asking them to
1:42
investigate this shooting.
1:44
San Bernardino police responded after
1:46
Longoria reported the shooting. Federal
1:48
agents also contacted police for help
1:51
with crowd control when word spread
1:53
about the immigration enforcement
1:54
outside Longoria's home. Despite calls
1:57
to investigate, city officials say it's
1:59
a federal case. But they are also
2:02
calling for accountability.
2:04
We call for a full and partial
2:06
investigation, the release of all
2:08
available footage and accountability if
2:10
procedures were violated. DHS claims
2:13
agents acted in self-defense, accusing
2:15
Loria of trying to run them over when
2:18
they opened fire. But this newly
2:20
released video from the attorneys
2:22
doesn't show that. The agency also did
2:25
not answer our questions about why the
2:27
driver was stopped and whether the
2:29
agents had an administrative or judicial
2:32
warrant.
2:33
We know that they want to see how much
2:34
they can get away with. Again, if they
2:35
can get away with it in California, they
2:37
they feel like they can get away with
2:38
that anywhere and we're not going to
2:39
allow them to do that. Attorneys for
2:41
Longoria say if the city does not have
2:43
the resources to investigate, they're
2:45
asking that they turn over the case to
2:47
the state. Reporting in San Bernardino,
2:49
Leticia Warez, ABC7 Eyewitness News.
2:52
Now, we also learned that ICE detained
2:54
yet another US citizen for driving to
2:56
work while looking Mexican. Agents
2:59
pulled him from a car and handcuffed him
3:01
in seconds, not even asking for his ID.
3:03
They profile his ID. They profiled me.
3:06
Just grabbed grabbed me like I was a
3:08
criminal. He said, "I'm American. And my
3:10
background is Mexican, but I'm I'm an
3:12
American citizen. Here, play this clip.
3:15
Workday turns into a shocking encounter.
3:17
Federal agents handcuff a US citizen
3:20
outside his job. It all went down in
3:22
Seami Valley and the man and his
3:24
co-workers are talking to Fox 11's Gina
3:26
Silva.
3:27
They just got me by surprise. I didn't
3:29
know what was going on, who they were,
3:31
what did I do wrong.
3:33
What is this about? In a matter of
3:36
seconds, 38-year-old Rodrigo Alendares
3:39
found himself in handcuffs outside of
3:41
his job in Seami Valley early Thursday
3:43
morning.
3:44
They never told me who they were or who
3:46
they were looking for or anything.
3:48
Dude, are you guys ICE? This guy's a
3:50
citizen.
3:51
They turned out to be federal agents who
3:53
he says let him go only after seeing his
3:56
ID and hearing his coworker yell,
3:59
"This guy's a citizen here.
4:00
He's a United States citizen. you know,
4:03
what are you guys doing here? Who are
4:05
you guys looking for? They wouldn't
4:07
answer him.
4:08
Rodrigo, who was born in Kenoga Park and
4:10
works as a driver for JB Wholesale
4:12
Roofing and Building Supplies, says he
4:15
knows exactly why he was targeted.
4:17
I am dark-kinned. I am Mexican. I am
4:20
brown.
4:22
So,
4:23
how does that make you feel?
4:24
It makes me mad. Really mad. Um, no,
4:29
like I said, I'm I'm American. you know,
4:32
background is Mexican, but I was born in
4:34
this country. They would have got off
4:36
and asked me, you know, hey sir, we have
4:38
a question. I could have answered, but
4:40
they didn't. They profiled me, just
4:42
tried to grab me like if I was a
4:43
criminal.
4:44
The agents moved so fast to detain
4:46
Rodrigo that they left their SUV and
4:49
drive. Security footage shows the
4:51
vehicle rolling forward as an agent then
4:53
runs after it. The impact shattered the
4:56
passenger side mirror. employees who
4:59
witnessed this ordeal still can't
5:01
believe it.
5:01
This feels pretty shocking. Um I've
5:04
never witnessed anything like that. So,
5:07
you know, we always see it on TV, but we
5:09
never see it in person.
5:10
It's not fair what they're doing. It's
5:12
not right what they're doing. Um they're
5:15
just hurt, you know, making us look like
5:18
we're nothing in this country.
5:22
Rodrigo says he is planning on filing a
5:25
lawsuit. We contacted Homeland Security
5:28
for comment on this case, but so far no
5:30
one has gotten back to us. Reporting
5:32
from Semi Valley, I'm Gina Silva Os in
5:34
the studio. Next up, you have ICE
5:37
rushing to deport a d a double amputee
5:40
disabled man. He will die without
5:42
medical care he gets in the US. Agents
5:45
claim he has a criminal record, but he
5:47
was pardoned by the state of Georgia in
5:49
2010. Mother brought him for life-saving
5:52
treatment after losing both legs when he
5:54
was 2 years old. Now he is 46. Rodney
5:57
Taylor is the father of seven with his
5:58
blended family and a successful barber
6:01
in Georgia. A judge now has until
6:03
December to decide whether he will
6:05
remain in the US health care system or
6:07
be deported and die. Here, play this
6:09
clip.
6:10
Ronnie Turner's mother brought him here
6:12
for medical treatment when he was just 2
6:14
years old. Now he is a double amputee
6:17
and permanently disabled.
6:22
The United States of America is the only
6:24
place that can provide him the medical
6:25
attention that he needs.
6:26
Mildred Pierre believes if her fiance
6:29
Rodney Taylor is deported back to
6:31
Liberia, he will die. The 46-year-old
6:35
double amputee was born with club hands
6:37
and feet and was brought to America by
6:39
his mother for medical treatment.
6:42
Rodney's disabled, permanently disabled,
6:45
double amput.
6:48
He needs to come home. Mildred Pierre
6:50
says she will never forget the day ICE
6:52
agents swooped in front of her
6:53
Loganville home with guns drawn and
6:56
arrested her fiance Rodney Taylor back
6:58
in January 15th of this year.
7:00
It was like a scene from a movie.
7:02
There's a car that a truck that blocks
7:04
me from the back. Two cars come in the
7:06
front. Guns drawn. Get out the car. Get
7:08
out the car. My kids in the back crying.
7:11
We don't know what's going on. Taylor is
7:13
a father of seven with his blended
7:15
family, a successful barber in Gwynet
7:17
County, and has been living the American
7:20
dream on a work permit. The problem
7:22
seems to be a burglary arrest when he
7:24
was 16. I talked to Taylor from his
7:26
Stewart detention center cell Wednesday.
7:29
He said since Georgia pardoned him for
7:31
the burglary in 2010, he thought that
7:34
was taken care of.
7:36
I thought I had a pardon for that. It
7:37
was all behind me in the past. His
7:39
family says he has been suffering at
7:41
Steuart for 160 days because his
7:44
prosthetics were too small.
7:46
It's like skin rubbing on. It's like
7:49
skin rubbing on skin or skin rubbing on
7:51
plastic. Is a constant rub. It's
7:53
chafing. Is bruising every step.
7:57
Immigrants are welcome here. This is not
7:59
what democracy looks like.
8:02
Today's protest rallied for his release.
8:04
His attorney says all three of his
8:06
residency requests have been denied and
8:09
his deportation hearing is next week.
8:11
Quests such as Rodney's go to Washington
8:14
DC to die. And as the judge said at his
8:17
bond hearing, ICE gets to be the judge,
8:19
jury, and executioner in this case. It
8:22
is not fair. It is not just. It is not
8:25
equitable. It is not legal.
8:29
And Taylor's family tells me he now has
8:31
those new prosthetics, but they say
8:33
there are other medical problems. We
8:35
reached out to ICE. ICE says that
8:37
Taylor's pardon was not a full pardon,
8:39
therefore he does not qualify for
8:42
residency. Reporting live in downtown,
8:45
Anelique Proctor, Fox 5. You see a lot
8:48
of people who are arrested for filming
8:50
what's taking place. It's why we want to
8:53
amplify and promote all the citizen
8:55
journalists here who are the true
8:57
heroes. It's just an honor that we could
9:00
use this platform to try to show people
9:03
what's going on and we are so grateful
9:05
for all of your work. Take a look at how
9:07
fascism works right here. Here, play
9:09
this clip.
9:13
structure
9:15
investigation for community safety. I'm
9:18
giving you names of four officers. I'm
9:22
giving you back
9:24
[Music]
9:28
what? For what? Stop resisting. Stop.
9:32
Are you [ __ ] serious?
9:35
I'm under arrest.
9:36
Yes, sir.
9:39
Stop resisting. Stop resisting, sir.
9:46
What is he under arrest for?
9:48
What? What? Do me a favor.
9:49
Next. You better back up.
9:51
Please don't come over here.
9:52
You going to be next?
9:52
I'm I'm standing right here.
9:54
You're on You're on the street. I need
9:55
you on the sidewalk over there.
9:57
[ __ ] serious.
9:59
I'm not spitting it off.
10:03
After the trials are held, you will all
10:05
be in jail.
10:07
Sir, you were ordered to get on the
10:08
sidewalk on the street. You do not get
10:10
inside.
10:14
In this next video, we'll show you Kilar
10:16
Abrego Garcia, who was arrested once
10:19
again by ICE after being ordered to be
10:22
released by federal judges. After the
10:24
Trump regime did not have the goods in
10:26
terms of their federal prosecution of
10:28
him in Tennessee, where they're trying
10:30
to prosecute him for human trafficking,
10:33
they want to now deport him to Uganda.
10:36
Um, where he doesn't have any
10:38
connections at all. Um, they threatened
10:41
him and said, "If you plead guilty,
10:43
we'll allow you to go to Costa Rica and
10:45
leave." He refused. They let him out for
10:47
like a few days over the weekend and
10:49
then immediately ICE arrest him and
10:51
tortured him. Here he is. And you'll
10:53
hear him say, "Corrupt government.
10:55
Corrupt government." That's his message.
10:57
Here, play this clip.
11:07
[Music]
11:16
Now, next up, TMZ was able to catch this
11:19
video right here as mass federal agents
11:22
grabbed a couple of men off the sidewalk
11:24
outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles,
11:26
including one man who threw a glass
11:28
object at their unmarked van and
11:31
bystanders claim he's a US citizen. TMZ
11:34
shot a video of dramatic immigration
11:36
raid Monday morning and a swarm of mask
11:38
agents in blue jean sneakers and
11:40
tactical gear dep detain a day laborer
11:44
looking for work in a hauling truck.
11:47
We're told uh the day laborer's name is
11:50
Hector as the masked men some wearing
11:52
police vest drove off in an unmarked
11:54
van. a guy on the sidewalk watching the
11:57
raid with his mother, then throws a
11:58
glass object at the van and it shatters.
12:01
The van comes to a screeching halt and
12:03
the occupants rush over to the guy and
12:05
detain him as the man's mother begs them
12:08
to stop and people scream that he's a US
12:10
citizen. It takes several masked agents
12:13
to detain the bottlethrower. And as a
12:15
crowd of concerned citizens gather,
12:17
things get tense. Onlookers whip out
12:19
their phones and the masked agents point
12:21
firearms at them. Interestingly, at
12:24
least one of their guns appears to be
12:26
fitted with a paint pellet loader. Um,
12:28
so just take a look at what went down
12:30
here. Play this clip.
12:47
Hey. Hey.
12:57
What the is the gun for, bro?
13:01
[Music]
13:03
You're not taking him anywhere.
13:05
Yeah, I don't think you need a t.
13:09
And here a man makes ICE present ID.
13:12
Take a look at this.
13:13
I have to wear plaque.
13:14
No, I can wear FBI plaque.
13:16
Yeah, you could.
13:17
Am I FBI? Am I FBI? If I show your
13:21
plaque.
13:21
No.
13:22
Okay. So then you have no right. You
13:23
have no right. No, don't don't touch
13:25
him. Don't touch him.
13:27
You touch him. You cannot touch him.
13:28
He's not me.
13:35
Okay, there you go. His face he doesn't
13:37
give permission to touch him. There you
13:39
go. No permission to touch him. No
13:41
permission to ask questions and you
13:43
don't have a bad ID.
13:50
Okay.
13:56
Okay. One more turn by here. Okay.
14:00
What did he ask you? Do you guys have
14:02
any any ID?
14:03
I do.
14:04
Let me show your ID, sir.
14:05
It has my
14:06
Oh, you don't have an ID. So, who are
14:07
you?
14:08
Yeah, I already you you let me show your
14:10
ID.
14:13
I can show you FBI one, but I don't have
14:15
an ID.
14:18
So, you know, no ID, just a plaque
14:20
right there, sir.
14:21
Okay, let me see that. Show it to me.
14:23
Thank you, man. Thank you.
14:23
Show it to me. Show it. Let me All
14:25
right. Come on.
14:27
Thank you. Thank you.
14:27
Show it to me.
14:30
And next, you have Donald Trump's troops
14:32
detaining a black lawyer in DC. Um,
14:36
swarmed by 20 officers just for walking
14:38
down the block. Paul Bryant plans to
14:41
press charges on those who assaulted him
14:43
in a way that he will not forget anytime
14:45
soon. He is a West Point graduate and
14:48
served as an infantry officer in the
14:50
army before starting his legal career.
14:52
Officers from Metropolitan Police, which
14:54
is now controlled by the Trump regime,
14:56
FBI, and other federal agencies stopped
14:59
him for no reason in Logan Circle,
15:01
Washington DC. He was handcuffed for an
15:03
hour while his vehicle was searched
15:05
without permission. Play this clip. an
15:07
officer of the DC bar that these
15:10
officers are violating my civil rights
15:12
under federal law and I will be pressing
15:15
charges on everyone who has physically
15:17
touched me tonight, who has applied
15:19
pressure to me in ways that I will not
15:21
forget anytime soon. This is tragic. In
15:25
a country where black men are being
15:27
killed by people that look just like
15:28
this, I was sneered at. I was ignored
15:31
and I was not told why I was being
15:32
detained.
15:33
What are the names of the two officers
15:34
holding you right now? Police officer at
15:36
Costello. At Costello. He has his name
15:38
blocked off. I do not want to know what
15:39
it is and I don't want to touch him for
15:41
fear of my life. This is an FBI agent
15:44
who I do not know.
15:46
Aren't they only allowed to hold you for
15:48
10 minutes without charging you?
15:50
They are trying to manufacture evidence.
15:52
I do not have a magazine in my weapon
15:54
because my magazine is in the trunk of
15:56
my vehicle, which they would have known
15:57
if they would have asked me. They did
15:59
not ask me. My magazine is in the trunk.
16:02
To the American people watching, this is
16:04
what calling out a failed system looks
16:07
like. Again, I was walking peacefully
16:11
down this block
16:14
and I was accosted by 20, no less than
16:17
20 MPD, FBI, ATF agents
16:24
and officers.
16:29
I am not crazy. I am totally sane. I
16:32
have complied with all of these officers
16:34
requests and 30 minutes after being
16:35
detained, I remain detained and not
16:37
freely able to go. I do not know what
16:40
charges. I do not know why I'm being
16:41
detained. I was given no information. No
16:45
officers are offering me any type of
16:47
grievance. No, no type of respite,
16:50
nothing. Simply stand here, you [ __ ]
16:54
and be handcuffed while we wait to find
16:58
magazines that do not exist or we will
17:01
find one for you.
17:03
I assume that is the case.
17:22
And next up, you have a MAGA man who is
17:24
upset that a Hispanic family bought a
17:27
building next door that he wanted and
17:29
then calls ICE to deport them. He put up
17:31
a sign, deport them all. Trump, please
17:34
deport my neighbors. Start with my
17:36
neighbors. Enrique Garus is a legal US
17:39
citizen. says he's tired of the hate
17:42
directed at his family. Douglas Dietrich
17:45
says he will not take down the sign
17:46
calling on ICE to deport his neighbors
17:49
and that people criticizing him just
17:51
fuels his anger. This has encouraged me
17:53
to leave the sign up. Maybe I'll even
17:55
add another sign next to it. The ongoing
17:58
confrontation is happening in Pit
18:00
County, North Carolina. Play this clip.
18:02
Dri told me he put up the sign because
18:04
he is against all illegal immigration.
18:08
He says the part that you see here
18:09
behind me about starting with his
18:11
neighborhood first is about a
18:13
Mexican-owned auto shop just next door
18:16
to him. He says the owners are illegal
18:19
immigrants. However, I spoke to the
18:20
owners and they say they're perfectly
18:22
legal US citizens. The sign you see here
18:25
in Douglas Dietrich's yard has sparked
18:28
outrage on social media. He says he put
18:31
it up because he doesn't approve of
18:33
illegal immigration, but there's a
18:35
specific reason that his sign asks the
18:38
president to start with his
18:40
neighborhood.
18:40
Well, it appears that that the shop has
18:44
for, you know, has came next door to us
18:48
against our wishes with illegal
18:51
immigrants.
18:52
The business that he's talking about is
18:53
Monkeykey's Garage. Shop owner Enrique
18:56
Garas says he is a legal citizen of the
18:59
United States and thinks the sign is
19:01
offensive, especially since it's about
19:04
him.
19:04
There is so much hate already and but I
19:07
don't hate him. I mean, he can do
19:09
whatever he wants to. If he think he's
19:11
right, uh, he can do it. But, uh, people
19:15
out there, they going to see it that
19:17
that whatever he's doing is not right.
19:19
The sign has gained traction online with
19:21
anonymous posts calling it hateful and
19:23
prejudice. And now town officials are
19:26
getting involved, saying it violates a
19:28
Griffin town zoning ordinance. According
19:30
to the town manager, that ordinance
19:32
states that signs cannot be erected
19:34
without a permit, something Dietrich
19:36
currently does not have. The town
19:38
manager says Dietrich will be served a
19:40
violation notice until he gets a permit.
19:42
And as far as the attention on Facebook
19:44
goes, Dietrich says it only fuels him to
19:47
keep the sign up.
19:49
This has just encouraged me to leave the
19:52
sign up. maybe even add another sign
19:55
next to it.
20:00
And Griffin's town and Griffin's town
20:02
manager told me that if Dietrich gets
20:04
approved for a permit, he's more than
20:07
welcome to keep the sign up here in his
20:09
yard, but until then, he should not have
20:11
it up. Now, Diet Church approached me
20:14
here at his home right as I was about to
20:16
go on the air, and he told me that he
20:17
just applied for that permit around 15
20:20
minutes ago, right after he found out he
20:23
was not in compliance from our reporting
20:25
at 4:00. I'll have more on our website
20:27
later tonight. Live in Greenville, Chris
20:29
Co or excuse me, live in Pit County,
20:31
Chris Cook, WITN News.
20:32
Okay, interesting development. Thank
20:34
you, Chris. Now, Dietrich told WTN part
20:36
of why he was upset with Monkeykey's
20:38
garage was he previously tried to buy
20:40
the building and was not able to. He
20:42
said Garas being able to purchase it and
20:44
run a business there after that upset
20:46
him. The Griffin town manager said the
20:48
building has been there for 20 years and
20:50
was privately owned, so the town had
20:52
nothing to do with who was allowed to
20:54
buy it.
20:55
