Rightly so. I would have been more shocked if no charges were brought to her doorstep.

Well luckily, we have it all on video. How do you think Becca impeded the agent. As I've mentioned before, the worst thing she did was call him 'big boy' and tell him to go on his lunch break.
 
I have wondered the same thing. But it might come up against the First Amendment, from which stems the right to protest. It's tricky.
Protest is one thing, but alerting criminals of law enforcement presence is entirely different. I couldn't believe they were actually allowed to do it.
What about the organisation that provide the whistles etc for the sole purpose of alerting criminals?

It is tricky. I had to Google. Again! Sorry.

AI Overview

Yes, the First Amendment generally protects the right of individuals to blow whistles, shout warnings, or record Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in public
, as this is considered protected speech and assembly. However, this protection is not absolute and does not allow for physical obstruction of law enforcement,, such as blocking vehicles or preventing arrests.
Here are the legal boundaries regarding this activity based on recent reports:
  • Protected Activities: Making noise, blowing whistles, yelling to warn others of ICE presence, and filming agents in public spaces are protected by the First Amendment. These actions are considered "peaceful and unobstructive" protests.
  • Illegal Activities (Obstruction): Protesters cannot physically interfere with, stop an arrest, block roadways, or cause harm to federal officers. Doing so can lead to charges of obstructing or impeding federal officers.
  • Legal Risks: While generally protected, warning people about raids can still lead to arrest, and in some contexts, officials may attempt to argue such actions constitute "obstruction" or "harboring" if they go beyond simply spreading awareness and actively help someone evade detention.
  • Context: The use of whistles and other signals has become a common form of protest by "ICE Watch" groups in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis to inform communities of raids.
In summary, blowing a whistle to alert people to a raid is generally a legal, protected activity, provided it is done from a safe distance and does not physically interfere with the agents' actions.

Not going around in circles, you have seen the video, she incited her wife into her actions.

I agree with you on that. But I can't see how that amounts to obstruction of the agent. It has to be direct action by her, as far as I know.

The investigation into Becca Good is focused on the first statute listed in Bondi’s memo, a section of the U.S. Code on “assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers,” the people said.

Shame she didn’t do that.
