Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

The irony of this asshole's class being called "Profiles in American Leadership" should escape no one. "American Leadership" - especially under this administration - really does believe they can do anything to anyone with impunity. It's good that idea failed. This time. Needs to happen more.
