A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Unless & until some local jurisdiction fully investigates one of these rogue, murderous ICE agents, this will continue. Criminals like these will keep killing people until there's a price to pay for doing so.
And they'll have to do it alone. They won't get help from the FBI or any other fed agency.

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

There is no law against following law enforcement from a distance and monitoring what they're doing. If there was, local TV news would go out of business pretty quickly!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

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

How does an entire administration not understand this basic reality? Venezuelan oil is not profitable.
Heavy crude takes years to extract profitably. It requires massive upfront investment, specialized infrastructure, refineries configured for heavy oil, long timelines, and political stability.
