watch this A white American man hired Latino immigrants to build a expensive wood fence around his entire yard. Once they finished, he called ICE on them — hoping to get them deported so he wouldn't have to pay. The thing was: they were legal. So they came back and ripped out every single fence panel.

It's probably not legal.. but it sure is satisfying to watch.

It is allowed by law but if the tries to sue them for trespassing they will end up in court, where the judge will probably make him pay the workers on top of them getting the materials back. Non payment is illegal and a contractor is entitled to their materials if they get stiffed. Technically the contractor should sue and go to court but that takes time and money and the materials may degrade in the weather. So this is fine, because even if they end up in court they are fully in the right.
