DHS officials are already leaking that there are serious problems with how the ICE officer handled this.
"Officers are also instructed not to shoot at a moving vehicle and only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death, the official said."

In regards to shooting in Minneapolis:
Witnesses say a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but ICE agents refused to let him through. Around 10–15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles occupying the street.-FOX 9 Minnesota

Tim Walz has got nothing to lose. He needs to leverage the full power of the state government against ICE. Right now.

So ICE murdered a woman in cold blood in Minneapolis, I see. At the time of her death she wasn’t trying to promote racist ideology or murder Congress to overthrow democracy, so American conservatives are not going to consider her a hero or a martyr.

This angle shows Trump’s ICE agent standing on the side of the vehicle and firing into the open window at the driver. This was murder.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland.
If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny.
Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
