"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has broken its silence, conceding its agents were responsible for the arrest of two men during a raid on a downtown Charlottesville courthouse and promising that the bystanders who questioned those agents will be prosecuted.
ICE also blasted the area’s top prosecutor, who has announced he will be investigating the raid, as “posturing for the media.”
“It is shameful,” wrote an ICE spokesman who declined to be named in a Saturday morning statement, “that the Commonwealth Attorney, a sworn officer of the court and fellow law enforcement officer, has decided to prioritize politics over public safety — placing a criminal’s wellbeing above that of the brave women and men in law enforcement, whom the Commonwealth Attorney took an oath to support.”
The spokesman was pushing back against Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Hingeley, who has announced an investigation into the raid and warned that “further actions like the courthouse arrests yesterday would constitute a grave danger to our community.”"

Nothing to see here folks, just government thugs hauling people off the street and into the void. Just walk on by. The government spokesman shall remain nameless.
This is something out of of the film Brazil. Or, you know.... I don't even need to say it anymore.
