The way Colonel Lockjaw wears a tear gas canister ready for deployment at any time is pure theater.
I always thought the term "cosplaying" was overused until ICE/CBP started showing up everywhere. Look at this guy, does he think it's Fallujah? (It's a high school in Minneapolis).

So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

There is NO evidence she was trying to harm them, or that lethal force was necessary

Trump is using ICE like a secret police force. They’ve used Gestapo-like tactics to terrorize communities for nearly a year, and now they’re literally killing people. This can’t be America.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.
