    Appalling? Yes. Shocking? Not to anyone who has been paying attention.

    “Before I knew it, I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic, and so I approached her, and we were at that point chanting, ‘We are not afraid, we are not afraid.’”

    Callaghan then said he told ICE officers to take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” Callaghan recalled.

    After he said he still wasn’t afraid, the officer handcuffed him before putting him into the back of an SUV. “They came back three times and they asked me if I was afraid yet, to which I replied, ‘Hell no, I’m not afraid of you, and I’m never going to be afraid of you.’”

    Callaghan said that he asked if he was under arrest after officers asked for him to hand over his identification and his cellphone.

    “And then they said to me, ‘Well, you’re white, you won’t be any fun anyway. You can get out of the car.’”

      Ok that is shocking to see a pastor actually claim to practice what they preach

      Not at all surprised they’re obsessed with people fearing them. Weak and scared people desire to be feared thinking it will make them respected and safe. Cowards hiding from life behind violence.
