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

I am once again pointing out the Imperial Boomerang effect. Nazi Thug Jonathon Ross got his start being a part of war crimes in Iraq, and now decades later he is killing American citizens in their own communities in cold blood.

Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.
Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

My take: they've been trying to create an atmosphere of confrontation, seeking some kind of major conflict/crisis. They think they can make what they want to happen happen in mpls (and couldn't elsewhere). They're determined to get a major violent confrontation as demonstration of power and resolve.
Federal immigration officers are pulling out of a Louisiana crackdown and heading to Minneapolis in an abrupt pivot from an operation that drew protests around New Orleans and aimed to make thousands of arrests, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

By the end of next week, there will be over 3,000 federal agents across CBP, ICE, and DHS in the Twin Cities metro. That's more than 3x the number of sworn officers in Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
