Residents in Charlotte, North Carolina are expressing outrage after two local women were arrested for honking their car horn to alert others that US Border Patrol was in the area.
Local news station WCNC reported on Monday that the two women, who are US citizens, were taken into custody in the citys Plaza Midwood neighborhood after Border Patrol agents pulled them over and accused them of interfering in operations by honking their horn.
Video of the incident shows masked federal agents yelling at the women and demanding that they roll down their car windows. When the women do not comply, one officer smashes through the window and then he and other officers pull them out of the vehicle.

The rest to handle the hoards of illegal Virginians and South Carolinians rushing in without valid work visas?

I consider a horn in this case as Free Speech. As much as money is.
These J6Thugs would have beat out the eyes of Paul Reveres Horse to stop him from alerting the British are coming. Stop the Alerts!

If they don't like you or what you're doing for any reason, they'll arrest and make up some charges later if they feel like it.
