ICE murdered someone on the streets today

    1. I remember reading a report probably 15 years ago that Obama was privately trying to rein ICE in because it has become “a rogue agency.”

      I’m sure it hasn’t gotten better since.

    2. The people with the power to change this will call it justified and say she was attacking him and therefore ice violence will increase. Be careful out there. This is some dystopian shit.

    3. Horrific! I just watched the video, that was a clear murder! These scums now think they are above the law. They are killing people in broad daylight.

      I so direly and dearly hope this, another fucking ICE caused death is the end of this. Sadly, my brain thinks it won’t be since we are at least 5 or 6 last straws in.

      Again, fuck this timeline.

    5. I’ve seen a few different videos and angles of the actual shooting now.

      Here’s what the videos appear to show:

      Her vehicle is perpendicular to the road when the videos start and it does appear that she may be trying to turn around because there are some ICE vehicles in front of her (including one that speeds past in front of her).

      An ICE truck pulls up behind (to the left) of her. We can’t hear what she says but you can see her arm hanging out the window and appearing to wave them through like “go ahead” – but instead of driving in front of her, they get out of the truck and immediately start yelling at her to get the fuck out of the way. One of the ICE officers starts grabbing her door handle and attempting to pull her door open. She puts the vehicle in reverse and then turns her wheels to the right, to instead continue with the normal flow of traffic and no longer turn around, in what appears to be an attempt to get away from the officers trying to open her door.

      At this time a 3rd ICE officer is seen walking in front of the vehicle from the right side. She puts the vehicle back in drive and **with her wheels pointed to the right, to get back on the road with the normal flow of traffic** she starts to speed off, presumably -again- to get away from the two ICE officers trying to open her door.

      As she accelerates, the 3rd ICE officer, who is now standing at the top left (drivers side) corner of her vehicle, immediately pulls his pistol and fires 3 shots directly through the drivers side of the windshield.

      I want to make this point clear – in all the videos I’ve seen so far, it’s pretty clear that her front wheels are NOT pointed at the officer who ended up firing his pistol. They are pointed to the right of him, angled as such as to get back on the road with the normal flow of traffic.

      After the shots are fired, the vehicle continues about 20-40 feet before crashing into some parked vehicles on the other side of the road.

    6. It’s only a matter of time until observers start shooting back. Ice is stirring up such hatred and vitriol from people, I’m surprised it hast already happened. Especially when there are so many fake agents just abducting people off the streets.

      Seen the video.

      She speeds off after they tried to open her door. She was backing up to drive away. As soon as she put it in gear to go forward they shot her.. Most likely after he shot her, her foot pressed the accelerator.

      So much for ‘just follow orders!’ You can still get executed for it. Disgusting.

    9. Untrained, violent and completely unsupervised. And of course they’re lying that she was trying to run them over.

      The police need to arrest the shooter. Enough of this lawlessness.

      ICE’s response is typical BS “An ICE officer, fearing for his life, and the lives of his fellow law enforcement and safety of the public, fired defensive shots”

    11. ICE should be abolished but no one can seriously expect Democrats to call for that. It’s the same political suicide as “defund the police” which was a total disaster and resulted in the police getting MORE funding.

      Think of a better tagline than “abolish ICE”. The opposite will happen if you don’t refine your message for the sake of political optics.

      I’m a progressive but I’m also a PR professional and it’s endlessly frustrating to me watching progressives advocate for what is right and just but doing so in a loud, unapologetic way that scares the stupid hicks whose votes are worth more than everyone else’s.

      We need to play this little political game. Doesn’t matter how right you are about things if you can’t win elections.

    12. Being able to declare Marshall law prior to an election is what they want, and what they’re shooting for, literally.

      Pacifism is dangerous because it’s the hardest, most metal thing to do.

      My only hope is that if Dems win the next election, these thugs are arrested, unmasked, and publicly tried for their crimes.
