The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

Yep, as always, JD Vance is completely full of shit. ICE agents do not have categorical or absolute immunity.

Great point. They do this every single time. And the talking heads and pundits continually push false and misleading narratives -- as if there are two sides to the story. It was clearly murder. Let's call it what it was and not sugar coat it.
Anyone who has read Copaganda knows that we are in the crucial early moments of virality after an extra-judicial police murder. It's extremely important for ICE that the media plays along with the idea that what happened is contested and there are multiple perspectives.

JD Vance supports murdering American citizens. He's made that perfectly clear today. If he's willing to defend the murder of Renee Good, he would defend your murder, too.
JD Vance accuses the slain Renee Good of perpetrating "an attack on federal law enforcement, an attack on law and order, and attack on the American people"
"That woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation," he adds, repeatedly referring to her as "that woman"

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

The National Post is owned by a right wing American hedge fund. They are the official opposition to all things Canadian.
While US governors and tourism operators cry out about the Canadian boycott, the Post promotes the few quislings who would sell our country out.

This is a great documentary on political and corporate corruption. Unfortunately, most Americans have no understanding of how Supreme Court decisions such as Citizens United 2010 have corrupted American politics and harmed democracy.

They are going to Epstein Files a murder
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Why is the CBC allowing ICE propaganda on their news feed today? Allowing Noem a platform to spread her copaganda and bullshit. I guess they are waiting for her to answer questions on the murder in Minnesota.

Trump is reviving a tariff strategy from America’s ‘Gilded Age’. It didn’t end well last time
Donald Trump praises the 19th-century “reciprocal” tariff policy of former president William McKinley. But that strategy damaged the US economy – and the Republican Party.
