'Briefly Kidnapped': Federal Agent Feared Abduction by Target

'Briefly kidnapped': A Trump agent was afraid he was being "abducted" after he exited an unmarked vehicle to jump into the target's car and the target drove him to a police station.

A federal agent was “briefly kidnapped”, the Plymouth Police Department dispatch claimed.

Here’s the police report and supplemental statement by the local police about the agent being “briefly kidnapped”:

A Trump DHI agent claims he was afraid he was being “abducted” after he came from an unmarked vehicle to jump into the target’s car and the terrified target drove him to the police station.

In other words, when a target did to an agent what the agents — in groups — are doing to their targets, including American citizens, the agent was afraid he was being abducted. The local police described it as “kidnapped.”

It’s like the federal government is making the case against their own behavior.

Just as the FBI warned would happen, Trump thugs acted like criminals and their target had no way to know that they were legitimate, so when they hopped into the target’s car and tried to take it over, the target freaked out and told the driver to take them to the police station.

There is even evidence that the terrified target, who says he suffers PTSD from being kidnapped in his native Nigeria, dialed 911 from the backseat of the car that the Trump agent was trying to take over.

But that’s not the story the Trump agents are telling, and now the man and woman who was driving the car carrying the target are facing charges of assaulting a federal officer after Homeland Security Investigations agents tried to arrest him on December 10th at a Plymouth, Minnesota apartment complex.

The government sought to arrest Oluwadamilola Ogooluwa Bamigboye for overstaying his student visa, and have filed an affidavit in support of their criminal complaint against him and the driver of the car, Rekeya Lionesha Lee Frazier, saying that the HSI agents were in their unmarked Ford Explorer SUV “surveilling” their target, Bamigboye, and his vehicle outside an apartment complex, according to reporting by MPR News.

A pause while we remember that the Trump administration says they are going after the worst criminals, but here, even according to their own affidavit, they were going after someone who overstayed his student visa, which is not a criminal offense. Rather, it is most often a civil violation.

• F-1/J-1 Students: Unlawful presence (and its penalties) only starts after a formal determination by USCIS or an Immigration Judge that you violated status.

• M-1 Students: Unlawful presence starts accruing from the date your I-94 expired (your authorized stay date)

And yet, the government has managed — once again!- to justify their behavior after the fact, by now accusing him of being a criminal because he tried to evade being kidnapped by them.

They claim that they showed him their ID, but in almost all of the videos we’ve seen of Trump’s federal agents, they often do not show their ID and consistently do not identify themselves even on their costumes, unlike legitimate law enforcement.

Alpha News reported that two of the agents were in plain clothes, “Two of the agents were in plain clothes, and one of the agents had a marked vest with a placard that said ‘POLICE’ and ‘HSI.’”

Vests claiming to be POLICE can be bought on Amazon.
