Did ICE arrest a truck driver in Oakland?

"Two videos taken on Feb. 24 show several unidentified men arresting a truck driver near Third and Adeline streets in West Oakland. The videos were given to the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, a local environmental justice organization, which in turn shared them with The Oaklandside. One video, shot from across the street, shows several agents, two of whom appear to be in plainclothes, patting down and arresting the driver of a red container truck."

"The person recording this second video asks one of the federal agents for identification; he responds, "No." None of the men appear to have insignia indicating what agency they belong to. One agent wears a vest that says, "Police Federal Agent." The video records the agent stopping the videographer from approaching a vehicle where the driver appears to have been placed."

""I can't see how they're treating him," the cameraperson says. "It doesn't matter," the federal agent responds. In the video, the cameraperson again asks for the agent's name. This time, the agent doesn't respond at all. When the cameraperson asks to see the license plate of the vehicle carrying the driver, the agent responds, "If you can see them, go for it.""
