Body-cam footage of Good’s killing could be critical. It could have provided details from the beginning to the end.
And ICE actually put out policy last year for officers to use them.
Except few agents are using them —and ICE is ignoring its own policy.

This video was filmed yesterday in St. Louis Park, MN — a nearby suburb of Minneapolis. I do not know the person who filmed it, but this incident is very clear and terrifying example of what has been happening here over the past week or so.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Unless they believe numerous ICE actions are legal and there is not systemic support within DHS for these tactics, lawmakers should seek her impeachment. To do otherwise is to tacitly condone what DHS is doing.

Here’s the deal: ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to carry firearms at all. If they find themselves in a potentially violent situation, they should retreat and call the local police to handle it.

ICE agents are not police. They have a single authority to search for undocumented persons, which isn't a crime, it's a civil violation. Their arrests are gulag style "administrative arrests" which should be illegal. It's unlawful for agents to claim to be police which should be enforced.
