Something very poignant about living in this America while being from a country where the martial law following the police killing of an innocent bystander is the most defining event in its modern history.
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.
