An ICE Agent has just been shown on video murdering an unarmed woman as she attempted to drive away from them, shooting her at just a couple of metres away. Not surprisingly, Noem has claimed the agent acted in self defence. That is utter BS. If you watch the video closely, the woman in the car has her wheels turned full lock to the right and starts to slowly turn away from the agent, for which she is then shot dead. I also saw reports that a doctor who saw it happen was denied access to render medical care and that when paramedics attended about 15 minutes later, they were blocked by ICE Agent vehicles, with agents instead carrying her lifeless body to the paramedics. This is utterly appalling and I hope the Agent who shot this woman is immediately placed on administrative leave while the investigation takes place. Given this is the Trump administration, I seriously doubt that will happen.
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.
You have ICE agents operating with no visible identification, frequently in plain clothes, faces concealed, producing no warrants, yet issuing orders as though mere assertion substitutes for lawful authority. That is not policing, it's intimidation theatre.
The agents in the video were wearing clear police identification on the front and back. The agent who shot the woman was almost run over and had to take evasive action to avoid being hit.
Hi there, Freediver. We appear to have lost Leroy, dear, but I'm curious.
Why do you insist on calling immigration authorities police? Their sole job is to lock up illegals. They have no power to move people on, control traffic or even arrest. It's totally illegal for them to cuff or detain lawful residents, tell them what to do or, you know, shoot them in the head.
Given their unpopularity, you'd think they'd have training in being nice, but no, that's not how the current regime works. They've gone the other way, employing thugs and, in many cases, actual criminals.
Minnesotans have protested on mass to ban them from the state. This will be a test case. Your DL is itching to use the Insurrection Act to take states like Minnesota over.
If he's successful, he plans to throw a spanner in the mid-terms, overriding state electors. Then, rather than
asking secretaries of state to find him more votes, he'd be
telling.
This is how failed democracies become authoritarian regimes - we're watching the transition in real time, so I'm curious.
How's your democracy index tracking?
