ICE appears to have murdererd a legal observer in cold blood.
Gift link — uses link shortener because lemmy eats the utm_source that the Star Tribune uses to indicate that something is a gift link
“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.
Why is ICE even armed? Maybe, and I’m just throwing it out here, but maybe immigration violations shouldn’t be worthy of a death sentence? And if an officer is in danger, maybe just de-escalate and go away until you can pull in trained personnel to handle potentially violent interactions.
Copaganda. I mean this is true of like 99% of al law enforcement activities, not just immigration related. But the American people are so indoctrinated into supporting these paramilitary goons that they accept it as normal.
ICE has no recruits except the “give me a reason to shoot” crowd who are scared all the time. Remember that one ICE age t who pissed his pants?
I don’t think I’ve seen that, do you have a link? I’d really like to 😀
Probably this guy:
Waiting for the “It was totally self defense so I shot her in the freakin’ face a bunch of times.” Fucking cowards. I hope you all get the brazen bull.
DHS released this as an official statement:
ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.
An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers. The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.
Of course… there’s video online of the incident already, and naturally it shows that that statement is complete horseshit (not that anybody had any doubts about that). This will probably get taken down soon, but here (NSFL):
The comments on that video are disgusting.
Yup. X is a cesspit of Nazi pieces of shit. Nazis gonna Nazi.
I bet the same people saying the shooting was justified also believe Ashley Babitt was just peacefully touring the capital.
Video is posted to Bluesky. The agent walks up to her car window and starts shooting almost immediately. One through the windshield the others through the driver’s side window.
Dhs already did that. Way ahead of you.
They straight up executed that lady. Her wheels were clearly turning right, away from the thug. This will only embolden me more. There must be retribution for this!
Cops often deliberately place themselves bodily in front of cars to justify escalation of force.
ICE murdered someone for no reason
The more they keep getting away with shit like this, the closer we get to them being used as a full Gestapo force. These fuckers are already murdering bystanders and kidnapping citizens. When they start getting filled with lead by the average American, no one will be surprised.
Calling it now. Official ICE position is going to be:
“We have no idea who this person is, we never heard of them, they probably aren’t a real ICE agent, but even if they are this was a totally justified shooting.”
No, they’re admitting it’s an ICE agent. The lie is that the woman was a domestic terrorist trying to kill them.
What is his name?
What a funny way for the headline to say the feds shot and killed a person.
News outlets: skipping the active voice whenever police or motorists kill since 1903.
I can’t get the video to load…
