Reminder that these kind of door-to-door “general warrants” are both explicitly illegal and also a major trigger for the American Revolution.
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

Just a reminder: these photos federal agents are taking are part of a growing surveillance state w no oversight. Agents use facial recognition, phone tracking, license plate readers, fused government databases built by contractors like Palantir. What was tested on immigrants is expanding to citizens

This needs to be investigated.
So Aaron, I came across an article from 2014. Between 2010 and 2012 US border agents stepped in front of vehicle 62 times to justify shooting. Guess whose name is mentioned Jon Ross has been under review for repeatedly doing this

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
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.
