Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

"The baby was released to her family. Her grandmother says she had a bruised cheek, but is otherwise OK."

A 1 yo with a bruised cheek is NOT ok. Not because she's incapable of giving herself that bruise, but because she was alone with amoral strangers and has no way of communicating her experience.

ICE deportation agent: “Just to be upfront, the goal is to put as many guns and badges out in the field as possible.”
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents.

Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents.

We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:

Let's be clear (and I'm not being cute): this is DHS trying to get ahead of the inevitable moment when they shoot a baby.

‘get the fuck out of minnesota [or else i swear i’ll have a bunch of minnesotans arrested for protesting you]!’
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

With an assist from 20 House Democrats who see fit to strip autonomy from DC so they can look tough on a “law and order” issue that doesn’t impact their constituents at all.
Photojournalist Aaron Marckell Williams was killed in a crosswalk as the result of a police chase over a traffic violation. DC local law had made such chases illegal - House Republicans voted to overturn that law last year.

I was there when Homeland Security was created and that is NOT the point of homeland security
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

This is absolute bullshit. There are numerous videos of the murderer, which show his build, gait, and top half of his face. Every state/local law enforcement agency has records at their disposal (including facial recognition) to find criminals who mask their faces.
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?

JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible
