Two people were injured, including a US marshal, during an immigration enforcement operation early Tuesday in Los Angeles, the Department of Homeland Security said.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent’s weapon discharged when the agent tried to grab an individual who apparently rammed into a vehicle that was part of a team of ICE and US marshals engaged in immigration enforcement, a law enforcement source tells CNN.

    I wouldn’t believe for a second that anyone rammed an ICE vehicle unless they release video evidence and a confession. They have been caught lying about this shit at least a dozen times now.

    Third person-ing the whole thing. “The gun discharged…”

    No.

    “Dumbass pulls trigger on gun and shoots people.”

    Having used such firearms they do not just “discharge” without active effort.

    “The gun just did that.”

    We really should figure out a way to publicly shame this passive voice bullshit.

        I heard some of them talking on how they would like to take those marshal fucks down a peg. It was while they were talking about being better than the seals and rangers combined and wanted to show a few of them something.

      Intentionally…

      They’re sending stupid untrained people with guns into high stress situations, and Stephen Miller knows it’s only a matter of time for “accidents” and they’ll use propaganda to normalize it and then start doing it intentionally.

      Even if they were, this isn’t what any of these people are trained for. Federal agents are not local police. They don’t go out on patrol or randomly deal with stressful situations. TV makes it seem like federal agents are out chasing bad guys every day but they spend a huge amount of time following leads, interviewing people, and digging up information from various sources (of which i make no comments on the legality of). None of these people are trained to be beat cops on the front lines every day this way.

    This article has them saying 2 completely different things, probably both are lies.

    “ICE law enforcement officers, assisted by U.S. Marshals, pulled the illegal alien over in a standard law enforcement procedure. The illegal alien weaponized his vehicle and began ramming the law enforcement vehicle in an attempt to flee,” the agency said in a statement. “Fearing for the safety of the public and law enforcement, our officers followed their training and fired defensive shots. The illegal alien was shot in the elbow and one law enforcement officer was shot in the hand by a ricochet bullet. Both are in the hospital.”

        Reading it a second time, it’s really fucking obvious. A US Marshall AND the driver was injured when a vehicle operated by feds was “rammed” AND the agent’s weapon discharged?

        CNN can’t even keep up with the propaganda demands now. They’re having to tie unrelated events in spacetime together.
