Podcaster Bobbi Althoff hopped on social media to announced that a close friend of hers had been “kidnapped” by ICE agents.
“Kidnapped in broad daylight by men who came up in an unmarked Nissan with blacked out windows. He was not read his rights. He was not even talked to like he was a real f–king human,” she says in the below clip.
The comedian has been calling the unit to try and get information about her friend’s status, but that when she does, she’s treated rudely.
“Every single time I’ve had to call there, they’ve been nothing but rude. None of them have to identify themselves. They get to abuse their power, they get to abuse their control and keep these people in horrible, horrible conditions,” she explained.

“I don’t care whether or not you’re Republican or Democrat,” Althoff added. “This is a human rights issue. Racial profiling is not acceptable. What’s happening everywhere right now is not acceptable, and it is one step closer to a dictatorship.”
Trump has been deploying ICE agents and the National Guard to various Blue states to “clean up” their cities. The deployments have been met with protests.
