So far, we've had AWFLs blocking Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officers, the entire episodes captured on video repeatedly.
Sometimes their antics end, for all the embellished histrionics afterward, with the miscreant snatched up after pushing the envelope and officers' patience too far.
Unfortunately for the media, we have the receipts.

As shown in our video, Aliya Rahman clearly had enough room to move herself and her vehicle out of the way. Officers even walked away from her vehicle, thinking she was going to leave the scene. Instead, she remained at the… https://t.co/1z0M4cHWbS pic.twitter.com/bin1mQGHIl
...Instead, she remained at the location, continued to impede our officers, and found out the hard way.
18 U.S.C. § 111 criminalizes impeding or interfering with federal officers.
Fortunately, it has only once ended truly badly, as in the Renee Good case. That is a testament to the professionalism and forbearance of these law enforcement officers, who are dealing with the most unhinged lunatics under tremendously difficult circumstances.
There's always the protected class acting out.
UPDATE: The criminal complaint against Nasra Ahmed says she was originally arrested because she approached a group of ICE agents, threw an egg at one of them, and then spit in an officer's face.

But unsurprisingly to anyone who has to deal with one at any given hour of the day, the worst offenders are the Affluent White Female Liberals (AWFL) who have taken to harassing ICE as if it were a religious crusade.
I mean, these women are taking classes that give them some sense of collective immunity from being wrong.
If they're really super lucky, they get to hear AOC!
SQUEEEE!
"We are building infrastructure to be prepared" congresswoman AOC announced plans for 'Legal Observer Trainings', speaks of instances when "thanks to the Rapid Response" groups have been able to "keep families together" during immigration enforcement. pic.twitter.com/EDCv9jqZhE

Some of the graduates are still kind of surprised when they get arrested, having passed their 'Legal Observer Course' and all.
‘Legal Observer’ 🤣🤣🤣

It’s not a credential with any weight like a law degree or even a basic certification. "Training" is watching a PowerPoint of slides and handouts on what to watch for (excessive force, unlawful arrests), no exams, no standards beyond showing up in a vest.…
But most of them are just there to rumble.
So what's an AWFL to do, who kind of has no really active ICE enforcement going on in her city that she can get involved in, but she still wants to make her mark?
You know, really flip off the man? Strike a blow for the people?
Why, the first second rumors arise about a contract for a possible ICE facility in town, you do what any good agitator would do - get in your hybrid and go try to burn that mother down.
YEAH, BABY
A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government.

The company that owns the building was, like, hang on a gol darned minute here!
The company involved with the sale of a rumored detention center in south Kansas City said it has chosen "not to move forward" with a sale to U.S. government.
Platform Ventures, an investment firm based in Kansas City, owns the property known as 49 Crossing. Rumors began to swirl in January about the site's potential future as an immigration detention center. At the time, Platform Ventures said in a statement that it didn't discuss sales or question prospective buyers, but that negotiations had been completed.
Port KC meeting documents at the end of January seemed to verify the reports, noting it had learned Platform Ventures planned to sell the property to the federal government. Port KC later voted to cut ties with the company, though Port KC made it clear it was not involved in the sale and could not stop it.
But Platform Ventures set the record straight, issuing a statement Feb. 12 after "baseless speculation, inaccurate narratives and serious threats toward leadership" led the company to address the property and sale.
"Platform Ventures is not actively engaged with the U.S. Government or any other prospective purchaser involving a sale of its property at the I-49 Industrial Center," Platform Ventures said.
The Kansas City, MO, Police Department said 'no description was available' of the woman who walked up and then lit off something that looked like charcoal lighter fluid she'd sprayed on the windows.
The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department is looking for a woman who allegedly set fire to a south KCMO warehouse that had been considered for use as an ICE detention center.
Witnesses said a woman walked up to the building located at 14901 Botts Road, sprayed something on the building, and set that substance on fire just before 5:50 p.m. Thursday.
KCFD firefighters were called and put out the fire before it had a chance to spread.
The woman left the scene after starting the fire, according to police.
No description of the woman who set the fire was available as of Thursday night.
I don't know about you, but I can tell enough about what she looks like to give a basic description just from watching the video.
But it sounds to me as if the cats running that town want nothing to do with ICE and are just as happy to let sleeping arsonists lie.
... "I am outraged by federal efforts to place 10,000 human beings in cages inside distribution warehouses in Kansas City or anywhere else in the country," Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas said Friday. "I'll trust the courts, our local prosecutors and law enforcement in Kansas City to handle the offender."
Encourage AWFL arsonists at your peril, mayor.
Quinton Lucas, the Democrat Mayor of Kansas City, MO, says ICE agents are responsible for starting the anti-ICE riots and he will use power to STOP the federal government from operating a detention facility in his city.

If they'll try to torch a warehouse at the first hint of an ICE-related rumor, imagine what they'd do if some other bee got in their deranged bonnets.
There's no guarantee it'll be the bee you want them mad at.
And MORE: I can't even.
ICE: “This isn't a good look for you”
— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) February 13, 2026
LIB: “You think I care about my look?”
ICE: “No, it's evident by how you look, you don’t care. Trust me. If you cared you would care about the child who got raped and the person who got murdered by the person we're looking for”

They're impossible and insufferable lunatics.
