Deputy Attorney General: Calling 911 on ICE “Very Close to a Federal Crime”Deputy Attorney General: Calling 911 on ICE “Very Close to a Federal Crime”

“…encouraging citizens to call 911 when they see ICE officers, that is very close to a federal crime.”

— Todd Blanche, U.S. Deputy Attorney General (the second-highest ranking official in the Department of Justice), speaking in an interview segment aired by Fox News and quoted by Fox News Digital (Anders Hagstrom, Jan. 18, 2026).

Note the absurdity: Truthfully calling 911 isn’t a federal crime. “Federal crime” territory is false reports / hoaxes (swatting) or other misuse, not “I saw federal agents and I’m calling dispatch.” Framing ordinary civic reporting as borderline criminal flips the baseline: seeking help and creating a public record becomes the suspicious act.

14 Lines ICE Crosses: From Voluntary Contact to Constitutional Violation14 Lines ICE Crosses: From Voluntary Contact to Constitutional Violation

Based on video evidence and court records (including the Minnesota TRO case), here are the incremental boundary violations that transform lawful enforcement into rights violations:

1. Retaliating against people for peacefully protesting, observing, or recording enforcement.
2. Turning a voluntary interaction into “you’re not free to go” (de facto detention).
3. Turning “Do you have ID?” into “You must show ID” — or treating silence/refusal as guilt.
4. Turning questions (“Are you ICE?”) into grounds for cuffs or intimidation.
5. Turning “Where are you from?” into a status interrogation without lawful basis.
6. Turning “Just step over here” into physical control (separation, containment, boxing in).
7. Turning a hunch into “reasonable suspicion” — intuition + pressure instead of articulable facts.
8. Stopping / detaining observers’ vehicles without reasonable suspicion (following/filming ≠ crime).
9. Escalating stops with firearms / aggressive tactics absent a clear, immediate safety justification.
10. Using pepper spray / dispersal tools to punish protected speech rather than respond to a real threat.
11. Turning refusal or boundaries into “resisting/obstructing” (manufacturing justification).
12. Seizing phones or using force to stop recording (including alleged threats/violence).
13. Turning detention into punitive/humiliating treatment even when no charges follow.
14. Using taunts/slurs and hours-long detention, then release with no paperwork — chilling speech by design.

Each line represents a constitutional boundary. The pattern isn’t one violation — it’s the incremental blur from “May I ask…” to coercion, retaliation, and chilled rights.
