My bet is that ICE was engaged is some seriously fucked up shit to cause Mr. Pretti to lose his cool.

My question is why this is being pushed so hard by the likes of the NY Post? Is kicking an ICE vehicle a death penalty offense now?

On edit: Reports of events leading up to the taillight incident in following post. As suspected, egregious actions on the part of ICE.
