Recording immigration agents in public is a constitutional right. Here’s what the law says.

Filming in public is legal, but there are limits. Lawyers explain distance rules, obstruction claims and what happens if agents intervene.

A federal agent in Minnesota grabbed a woman’s phone as it recorded him approaching her Jan. 9, two days after a federal agent shot a U.S. citizen. “Have y’all not learned from the past couple of days?” the agent asked the woman.

Weeks later in Maine, a woman let her phone camera roll as an agent filmed her license plate and told her her name would be added to a database and she was now considered a domestic terrorist.

“For videotaping you?” the woman asked. “Are you crazy?”

And on Jan. 29, a Minnesota driver with a dash cam filmed masked immigration agents as they swerved in front of her car, got out of their vehicle and pulled their guns.
