In Long Beach, California, off-duty Border Patrol agent Isaiah Hodgson was arrested and charged with resisting officers, injuring an officer, and other weapons-related crimes. He was apparently armed and drunk as a skunk at a bar—where he followed a woman into the bathroom.
After he was asked to leave—but didn’t—police were called. Hodgson refused to identify himself—sounds familiar for these federal agents. He then fought the officers, injuring at least one, before they had to use a stun gun on Hodgson.

Why is this great news? Well, it serves as a clear reminder that federal agents can be arrested when they break the law. If they assault people—or kidnap them—or commit any crimes at all, they can and should end up in handcuffs.
“No one is above the law, regardless of their position or badge,” LA County DA Nathan Hochman said. He’s right, but it shouldn’t take this level of carnage for them to end up behind bars. I hope we start to see more state and local law enforcement standing up for the people.
