DHS officials are already leaking that there are serious problems with how the ICE officer handled this.
"Officers are also instructed not to shoot at a moving vehicle and only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death, the official said."

Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.
A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

Trump is unpopular.
He can't escape the crumbling economy, rising health care costs, AND THE EPSTEIN FILES. He's also negative double digits on immigration now.
ICE murdering a U.S. citizen is the worst "overreach" possible.
I hope this inspired mass nonviolent protests.

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her.
The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present.

Impeach Kristi Noem.
As you evaluate this from Kristi Noem, remember that when a federal agent shot a woman in Chicago last year, DHS's initial version of events was full of lies that fell apart under subsequent scrutiny:

ICE policy requires the use of bodyworn cameras. Video should be available from every agent who was involved in the death of a citizen in Minneapolis.

A moment of truth. If there is a modicum of actual accountability, we may be able to slightly slow the roll of the fascist takeover. If there isn't, it will send a very clear message that ICE agents can murder at will.
They already aren't held to account everywhere else, but this is the last stage.

No need to imagine, it's been reported and covered:
1. Torture
2. Beatings
3. Sexual abuse
4. Withholding of medical care, at times leading to death (murder)
But yes, it is doubtless all much more sickening then what we are seeing on camera. And it will get worse without accountability.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
