Overview
- Fullerton police say an officer stopped on Nov. 9 after seeing a man point a firearm at a female motorist at Santa Ana Boulevard and Shelton Street.
- The man identified himself as an ICE agent and showed credentials, saying the driver had been following and recording him during an operation.
- Officers determined the driver had committed no crime, told the agent they could not assist under those circumstances, and the woman left the scene.
- In a new statement reported Monday night, DHS accused the driver of trying to cause a collision, while offering no evidence to support the claim.
- Fullerton police reiterated that California's Senate Bill 54 bars participation in immigration enforcement except for immediate safety concerns, as the widely shared video raised ongoing questions about plainclothes agent identification.
