    Infuriating. And terrifying.

      From Instagram - not sure if you can see the video. Thoughtful.

        ICE is just part of Trump and the GOP's campaign to make America a totalitarian state. Immigration is just one cover for carrying out that goal. Under the false guise of rounding up criminal, illegal immigrants ICE is murdering American citizens of all colors. That orange SOB wants complete control--and the republicans are willing to give it to him--over the economy (the outrageous Powell episode unfolding right now), the states via intimidation and fear (ICE). We are heading down the path of totalitarianism faster than you say the word. ICE is our Gestapo, the force that ensures intimidation of all. The Democrats in power better have their eyes wide open.

        I'm glad to see impeachment proceedings against Noem under way. And, the Democrats had better be ready, willing, and able to stall a new funding bill unless it contains severe limitations (if not the abolishment) of ICE. Cause otherwise, it's not going to be safe anywhere, no matter where you were born or what color your skin is.

        The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

          At least two of his shots were after the bumper had moved beyond him Andy.

          True she was on the wrong trying to leave the scene. But here cops can’t execute you for it.

          Bingo. There was no reason to fire on her, he was well out of harm's way by that time. Yeah, she had a hand in the tragedy but that does not absolve the agent. As most of you know, I usually come down on the side of LEOs in these things, but I cannot here. That woman simply panicked when they got violent. It would have been an easy matter to pick her up later.

            There's a proliferation of AI modified "videos" from both sides now. Without direct access to the phones from Good's wife and the ICE agent who shot her (which have been confiscated by the FBI), I'm not sure we'll ever get an unbiased account,

                The ICE agent was the true victim. I'm sensing a theme.

                    NYT synchronized the videos taken from various perspectives and did an analysis of what was going on.

                          I think current ICE are willing pawns. A symptom of the rot above. I would bet that somewhere in the entry papers signed is the fine print agreeing to follow all existing laws. That way, they can be 'thrown under the bus' by the higher-ups as the claim of immunity ends.

                                  Public opinion on ICE:

                                  Over 80% of Republicans think ICE's enforcement are "just right" or want ICE to go even harder.
