A tow truck driver in Los Angeles is facing a federal charge for towing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle on August 15, and he could be behind bars for a decade if he's found guilty.

Bobby Nunez was allegedly laughing and filming as he towed a vehicle belonging to ICE agents, according to a federal criminal complaint obtained by Fox News Digital. The agents were in the middle of an operation to arrest an illegal immigrant and had their emergency lights flashing as they boxed in the target’s vehicle with their own to prevent her escape.

"Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations. Now he can laugh behind bars while he faces justice. Nunez is looking at up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted," Acting United States Attorney Bill Essayli posted to X on Tuesday.

Not too funny now is it?

Since they are FEDERAL charges, he can be moved to a different jurisdiction for trial where people might not be so friendly to people who mess with cops.

He's probably an illegal as well.
Hope he gets deported to Venezuela.

Now THAT would be REAL funny!!!!

I blame the Democratic Party leadership and elected officials. They encouraged the rioting and the assaults on federal officers, have been for years.

This guy's problem was being too stupid to realize that he was not just an anonymous masked face in the crowd, driving that tow truck.

Tow truck drivers are urban vultures, roaming the streets looking for cars improperly parked that they can snatch and tow away

Many are felons with criminal records who cant find a better job but are perfect for the legal theft that goes on in the tow truck industry

He probably would have been alright if he didn't brag about it. But hey...

I'm all for justice. I'm also for enforcement and respect for our laws. I'm pretty happy about this outcome.

As the Church Lady (my mom) would say:

you'll be laughing on the other side of your face.

There is at least an even chance that he’s illegal

Tow truck drivers are the urban vultures of modern society, and are heavily represented by convicted felons and other marginal types, including migrants

Well, there you go!

If you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about!

I wish I could send that to Mark kelly, who is terrified right now.

The jury decision was a complete failure in this case. There's no way in hell that guy should have been allowed to get away with that.

Correct.

But it just shows my point that innocent people have nothing to fear. This guy was not innocent, but I suppose his defense was some kind of Nuremberg "only following orders," and it worked.

Even though the order was illegal.

Hmmmm. I guess he was required to follow unlawful orders.

He was?

That's weird.

Which unlawful orders do you mean?
