Alt-right provocateur Mike Cernovich on Sunday expressed outrage over “hearing loss-causing machines” used by terrorists against immigration enforcement officers and called for them to be treated as “weapons of violence,” seemingly referring to Whistles used by Minnesota protesters and residents Signal ICE activity in the area.
“They damage hearing for life,” Cernovich complained, prompting other right-wing pundits agree with him and suggest the whistle is not protected by law.
“High-pitched whistles used by anti-ICE activists overload neural processing circuits, leading to reduced mental performance. The purpose is to put ICE officers into a high-stress state,” a pro-Trump social media account releaseprompting Cernovich to respond: “Yes.”
U.S. Border Patrol agents take immediate action fatal shot Alex Pretti of Minneapolis, some Trump supporters have expressed concern on social media or television broadcast Trying to defend the officer’s actions government response – Officials labeled Pretty as a “potential assassin” and a “domestic terrorist” seeking mass murder for law enforcement.
Renee Good was shot and killed by ICE officers in Minnesota as the Trump administration continues its immigration crackdown, while Pretti, a 37-year-old VA ICU nurse, was shot at least ten times in an encounter with federal agents on Saturday.
Pretty, who was filming federal agents on his cellphone during an operation near downtown Minneapolis, appeared to be helping another legal observer who was pushed to the ground by an officer, who was pepper-sprayed and then subdued by the gang. An officer shot Preeti at point-blank range as he was being beaten on the ground, then fired about ten more shots as he fell to the ground.
There are videos and eyewitness accounts sharp contradiction this Official account From the government’s account, Preti intended to “massacre” law enforcement when he approached police with a handgun, and MAGA media figures were quick to try to find alternative narratives that placed the blame on anti-ICE protesters and observers.
One angle Cernovich and others explored over the weekend was that immigration enforcement officers don’t respond “well” to loud noises, an apparent reference to The ubiquitous whistle used by observers and protesters To draw attention to ICE activities and attacks in Minneapolis communities.
“At Minneapolis City Hall, state and city lawmakers including City Council President Elliott Payne and state Sen. Doron Clark wore bright red whistles around their necks during press conferences last week about ICE operations in the city, signaling that the whistles have been adopted as a symbol of resistance to federal action.” this minnesota star tribune reported last week.
Cernovich, meanwhile, complained about all the noise protesters — whom he called “terrorists” — had made to immigration enforcement officers in recent weeks. At the same time, he maintains that this strategy disproportionately affects people with high IQs.
“Highly intelligent people respond poorly to harsh noises,” Cernovich said. First attracted attention ten years ago Tweets for promoting the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory. “From smoke alarms to hearing loss-causing machines used by terrorists against ICE. Honestly, these things should be considered weapons of violence. They can damage hearing for life.”
In response to Cernovich’s tweet about the “piercing noise” being made by “terrorists” against ICE, which should be labeled a “violent weapon,” conservative radio host Buck Sexton agreed, while adding his own comments.
“It’s all true,” Sexton reacted. “In contrast, those who need to be constantly drowned in noise—protest screams, loud talking, blasting music, modified mufflers, etc.—are overwhelmingly people with low IQs, low impulse control, and inconsideration of others.”
“Anti-ICE activists stalk agents, harass them where they sleep, create chaos while resisting arrest (often with weapons), and use high-pitched whistles to increase the likelihood that agents will make impulsive mistakes,” another anti-immigration X account Tweet. “This is a suicide cult for mentally ill people who want to be martyred.
Lora Ries, Director of the Center for Border Security and Immigration at The Heritage Foundation, further response In Cernovich’s post, he noted that the noises were “not words.” However, legal experts disagree with this assessment.
Attorney Tracy Roy noted that “physical interference with ICE operations or obstruction of justice is unlawful,” but that whistling should be considered a protected form of free speech.
“Bystanders can certainly make noise, whistle and be alert,” Roy Tell this minnesota star tribune.
