Renée Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September. There is something every case has in common:
Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.

KANNO-YOUNGS: Not international law?
TRUMP: I don't need international law. I'm not looking to hurt people.

what ezra doesn't seem willing to accept is that charlie kirk was part of a political movement that does not think that "we are going to have to live here with each other" and is fact very interested in the elimination and/or subjugation of many, many people
