WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings
A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

If a federal agent tries to assault you, just scream "JOE BIDEN STOLE THE 2020 ELECTION"

It's apparently like an Uno Reverse card. Now *you* get to assault the cops without any penalty. Beat them with a flagpole, use mace or bear spray on them, whatever.

I'm sure the lawyers here will back me up.

Being an ICE agent today is like being an SS agent in 1945.

Your continued membership in a terror organization is evidence of intent to commit crimes against humanity.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

My second biggest fear is that Democrats take back power and believe they can ignore these problems into normalcy
I mean, to be fair, the sort of subnormal droogs who infest ICE now do very much experience a woman laughing at them as being like murder, and murder triggers a right to self defense.

It was probably going to be either Renee Good or some girl at a bar with these thug scum.
The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

When THE FUCK are you cowardly Dems in the Senate going to take a stand? If you can’t muster a shutdown over the fucking gestapo in this country out of fear of alienating your corporate donors then why the fuck should and of us vote for you for anything?
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

Agents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names

Congratulations to all the bankers, hedge-fund managers, private-equity honchos, tech titans, corporate executives and op-ed writers for backing the man who will do more to undermine the system that made them insanely wealthy than any other presidential candidate in their lifetimes.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment, a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s attacks on the Fed.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

saying again: Obama and Biden are architects of the present moment as much as Dubya and Trump 1.0

Dubya built ICE but the Democrats had TWELVE YEARS to tear it down only to decide institutional cruelty to nonwhites was an important project to uphold

"but muh bipartisanship!" fuck both of them
When the Orwellian named Dept of Homeland Security was created … MANY of us predicted that it would eventually be doing all the things that it is doing right now
