At a Home Depot in Encinitas, California, a typical “Karen" stormed federal agents as they lawfully carried out arrests of illegal immigrants. Instead of respecting the rule of law, she chose to harass and confront the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, putting herself in the middle of an operation designed to uphold our borders and immigration laws. The video captures the entitled behavior perfectly, which captures the frustrating disregard some have for law enforcement and the serious challenges America faces at its southern border.
In the video, the woman can be seen yelling and getting into the faces of ICE agents for arresting an illegal immigrant, telling them they need to "stop" and that they are "cowards."

"You need to stop kidnapping people on the f*cking streets," she said, to which the ICE agent pointed out that they are doing their job and conducting an arrest.
"Show me your arrest warrant," the woman demanded, to which the officer explained that she had no right to demand to see one, telling her that she was being obstructive.
"You guys have no conscience," another woman said.
The "Karen" then demanded that the ICE agents take off their masks and claimed that the officers tried to back into her with their cars. While snapping photos of the agents' vehicles, the woman loudly accused them of driving "unmarked cars."
ICE agents wear masks and drive unmarked cars for many reasons tied to safety and effectiveness in enforcing the law. While conducting arrests, agents often face dangerous situations when apprehending illegal immigrants, some of whom may be involved in criminal activity or part of organized smuggling networks. Masks protect agents’ identities to prevent retaliation against them or their families. Meanwhile, unmarked cars allow them to operate discreetly and avoid tipping off suspects before arrests, which helps prevent chaos, resistance, or escape attempts.
