The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

Per his colleagues: The victim’s name was apparently Alex Pretti and he was an ICU nurse caring for severely injured veterans at the VA Hospital. He was acting as an observer, filming the raid. Any suggestion that he was there with violence on his mind is horrific gaslighting.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Third angle shows Alex Pretti yet more clearly deescalating. As goon attacks woman, Pretti tries to shield, pulling his left arm back so it can't be misconstrued as restraint, raising right hand open. Sprayed in face. Turns away, shielding woman; he's swarmed, on knees trying to curl in protection.
Another angle of the ICE murder shows agents brutally shoving two women who were also acting as peaceful observers before homing in on, tackling and then gunning down Alex Pretti at close range.

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.
BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday.

and again in later neo-KKK and “white homeland” movements. In that context, “home” explicitly meant the United States as a white-only nation, and the phrase was used to frame racial violence, intimidation, and exclusion as “reclaiming” the country.

Exactly. the NYT routinely posts views of fascists and people who oppose fascism as equivalent, and won't draw conclusions from things obvious and recorded on video for all to see. This is simply acquiescing to fascist violence.
it's funny how often the new york times' "first entries in a live blog covering a breaking news event" are so vague as to be actively harmful. it happens almost every day. maybe don't run a live blog if you aren't willing to describe things anyone can see with their own eyes
