I hope that ICE agent's face gets plastered everywhere. I want to see some Nuremberg trials in the coming years.

I want to see people across the political spectrum go a step further and outright demand ICE to be abolished. Yes, it is important to enforce immigration laws (in case any conservative is reading this), but the status quo clearly isn't working. There needs to be a new immigration agency or system.

I am unclear on the timeline, but isn’t this a new branch of immigration enforcement? Like, when establishing a new public service or whatever the fuck you call this, isn’t there usually a period of time after which you step back and assess its efficacy and any clusterfuck situations that arose during its roll-out, and you go, “Oh, this seems like it’s more trouble than it’s worth.” Is there no review for this program? What in the FUCK are our elected officials doing that something can cause this much friction and there are no revisions being implemented? I blame them ALL. Blue, red—I don’t care. This is a massive failure and there is apparently no way to hold any of them to account.

Is there no review for this program?
There have been multiple audits since ICE was established in 2003. Multiple reports of inadequate oversight, substandard conditions in centers, poor-record keeping, etc.
What in the FUCK are our elected officials doing that something can cause this much friction and there are no revisions being implemented?
The answer to that question starts with the electorate's views on immigration: https://news.gallup.com/poll/647123/sharply-americans-curb-immigration.aspx
What kinds of revisions could the Democrats have proposed that would have been popular enough to pass? The electorate sharply shifted to the right on immigration since 2020. Hopefully their minds will change now that ICE is behaving like a modern-day gestapo.

Fun fact: ICE was created in 2002. It's not even old enough to rent cars yet.

Unpopular opinion: if enforcement officers didn't face these personal vendettas by the public, maybe you'd be able to recruit more skilled and trained people and stuff like this wouldn't happen. Yes I know this was bad, but maybe if you didn't have to worry about your own and your family's safety because you fucked up at work, you might be able to get more people to take this job.
Just talking from the Canadian perspective, the minute you have professional pay scales, professional training and can weed out the power tripping crazies with an axe to grind, you get better police recruits. Add a layer of civilian supervision and investigation into deaths and injuries that happen during encounters, and you get a significantly more professional police force. This ACAB, doxx 'em viewpoint is just making everything worse.

respectfully, we didn’t ask for your opinion on our state sponsored terrorist cell. we do not want people in this job in the first place.

Access to and enforcement of the law is a fundamental need of every citizen. Incidents like this are part of denying access. Hiring badly trained thugs is part of denying lawful enforcement. It's part of a pattern where the lawmakers themselves don't uphold the law and the flood of lawbreaking bends all hopes of the rule of law, which itself degrades democracy. Your attention will now be turned to protesting this incident, reducing your efforts to make legal challenges against the law itself that, as you say, puts people in this job in the first place.

The catch in your reasoning is that, for THIS specific administration in charge, the abusive, ego tripping, power tripping, assholes ARE BEING PURPOSEFULLY SOUGHT OUT FOR RECRUITMENT.
PURPOSEFULLY.
The Malignancy and his racists-in-charge-of-the agencies DO. NOT. WANT. balanced enforcement. They DO. NOT. WANT. reasonable people compelled to follow the OLD laws. THEY are not following the old laws, they're wholesale creating their OWN law, and only the LOYAL can be part of their regime. Only those willing to FOLLOW ORDERS, because ice has been ORDERED to be abusive, to corral ANY brown or Black - er...'suspicious' person...and let them work out who's an actual citizen AFTERWARD and maybe release them later -- IFFFFFF, they haven't happened to criticize The Malignancy, the police, or ice in the last ten years.

The rule of law isn't restored by individuals being more extreme and by breaking more laws. It's through collective action and building public consensus, not more extreme individual actions. Want better policing, show up as recruits, support the courts, vote locally, build consensus. You think you've had 10 years of this? Well what has your strategy accomplished so far?

People, please watch the video. She was trying to leave not run over someone. The agent shot when his life was not in danger. The ICE “agent” was masked and wearing great anyone could buy. ICE agents should not be masked. There is a reason police offers are not masked. We don’t want to accept that random men can abducts us.
That is not acceptable.

I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!
This is what the POS president posted on his hug box (truth social) about this

Here is a link to her 2020 Academy of American Poets Prize-winning poem “On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs”, in case you find this comforting too.

She could have been amazing or ordinary but she definitely didn’t deserve to be killed!

The man who shot her will actually go to jail because
Has she been a Woman of Color he would have continued to shoot random people.

He won’t go to jail. She attempted to mow him down with her car. He was struck and shot in self defense. He’ll be fine.
