Anyone who is working in these agencies as an agent or even as support personnel is facilitating this activity to some degree. If they're sticking around hoping to get through the next 3 years or until retirement, be assured, it's only going to get worse.
Where are the resignations from ICE and CBP??? I guarantee you there are at least *some* who know this is wrong but arectaking the path of least resistance (“following orders”). They need to step down and speak up

Shortly after the shooting this morning, the Border Patrol Union claimed on X that the victim brandished a firearm before being shot and killed.
Kinda surprised they didn't say that he was 10 foot tall, weighed 600 pounds and presented a grave threat to their normal-sized agents.

"Pretti, 37, was an ICU nurse, whose only prior interactions with police seemed to revolve around parking tickets, per Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara."
When the federal government starts viewing parking ticket scofflaws as domestic terrorists, I feel like we've crossed a red line.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

I can’t afford healthcare or electricity, and ICE just abducted my neighbor. But at least I no longer have to see plaques that mention slavery when I visit national landmarks.

Video taken from another angle completely destroys the DHS version of events.
An investigation needs to be done by the state. Nothing DHS does or says can be trusted.

By claiming that the victim "approached [federal agents] with a 9mm handgun" DHS is attempting to make it sound like the victim was engaged in threatening behavior that justified an aggressive response from agents.
He wasn't. He was filming. He had a camera in his hand.
And he was legally armed.

New video shows the man who was killed moments before the shooting.
He was peacefully standing in the street observing before ICE agents started pushing him for no reason.

Still getting information on this incident but, hoo boy, I sure do expect the 2A guys to absolutely lose their shit and start prepping for civil war if it turns out that a civilian was shot and killed in broad daylight simply because he was carrying a firearm and exercising his 2A.
Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"
