ICE agents threaten investigator visit after bystander films Gillette arrest
Aug 28, 2026·Location: Gillette, NJ

A community member pulled over to film DHS agents detaining people and asked why the agents were wearing masks. Instead of answering, an agent stated the bystander's full name and told them to move along, and when the person kept observing, the agent again announced their name, asked if they wanted a visit from an investigator, and read out their full home address, according to a federal lawsuit. The incident is cited in a lawsuit filed by Common Cause against ICE, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security alleging systematic intimidation and retaliation against people who lawfully observe and record federal immigration officers.
