Loudmouth Lupe Tries to Muscle In on ICE Arrest in Puerto Rico ICE agents are taking an illegal alien into custody in Puerto Rico when Loudmouth Lupe decides to plant her torta butt right in the middle of it. Agents tell her again and again to stand back. She acts like they have no authority and federal law doesn't apply to her. It does. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, and immigration law works there the same way it works in Texas or California. On her third try to slip around them and get closer, she should have gotten a blast of pepper spray. Agents gave her more patience than she earned. Getting in the way of federal officers during an arrest is a crime under 18 U.S.C. § 111. It isn't activism, and it isn't a protest. It puts the agents, the person in custody and everyone standing around at risk. If you don't want to get sprayed, back up when a federal agent tells you to. It's that simple.
