An Ice-cold scandal unfolded at a No Kings protest in Waikiki, Hawaii, when a man dressed like an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent found himself on the wrong end of an angry crowd. The drama erupted when someone tossed liquid at him, setting off a series of punches and kicks that escalated the tension in a flash. Video footage captures the chaotic scene, where multiple protesters converged, landing blows and even having a bit of slapstick humor when a woman accidentally kicked her own teammate instead of the man on the ground.
What’s remarkable is that despite the beatdown, this guy managed to stand up with a bloody nose afterward, proving that his costume might just be tougher than he is. The Honolulu Police Department stepped in, arresting a 15-year-old boy for second-degree assault, and they’re investigating whether the man was indeed affiliated with ICE. This situation raises questions about protest etiquette—should one come dressed as law enforcement while participating in movements against them?
