Fullerton police stop man pointing gun at female driver, only to learn he is ICE agent
A Fullerton police officer intervened when he saw a man in plain clothes pointing a gun at a female driver on a busy street in Santa Ana. The man later identified himself as an immigration agent and accused the driver of “following him” during an “operation,” a refrain increasingly heard as agents push back on people recording their movements.The [Fullerton] officer had just dropped off an inmate at the Orange County Jail and was returning to Fullerton when he noticed a man exit a vehicle at an intersection and draw his weapon on the driver behind him, according to a statement from the Fullerton Police Department.
After the agent identified himself, the officer told him “he could not assist with someone following or recording him if no crime had occurred, and that local law enforcement was en route.”

“I’m just driving,” she said.
“You’re following us, ma’am, we are doing an operation,” the agent says.
“You can’t be following us like that,” the ICE officer shouts.
“I live here,” the woman yelled back.
[Nevertheless, she persisted.]
