There is a video from across the street of half a dozen or so masked federal agents wrestling a man to the ground, punching him. Then there is a shot, then several others, until he is lying completely still.
You may want to be cautious if you don't want to see the video.

Apparently there is another video of ICE murdering someone and so I will remind you, again, that you do not have to watch it in order to confirm the thing everyone already knows: ICE is a lawless group of thugs who are killing people who stand up for basic American rights.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

An important and disturbing revelation—and this parenthetical is an interesting way for the NYT to represent how they themselves fell for the same race science group’s BS because they were looking so hard for anti-Mamdani smear content.

Id also say its a hit and run with property damage (telephone pole) which is a misdemeanor offense with possible jail time.
The city and state should use the legal system to its advantage.
ICE wont face federal accountability any time soon but local and state laws can be enforced.

Operation Catch of the Day! Catchy titles for masked militias hunting human beings as if they are game. Where is the media. Every time they describe this assault on our values and our humanity as if it’s normal, they betray their role as the free press. Enough! Every American needs to speak out!

And… by law ICE is not there for law enforcement. Crossing the border without papers is a misdemeanor! Remember that. Without a warrant, not being a citizen is NOT an arrest able offense. They are breaking the law every day

Um, the States with the highest % of illegal immigrants are Florida (7.1%), Nevada (6.9%, and Texas (6.7%). Note all 3 are headed by red governors. Maine’s illegals make up 0.2% of its total population. MN is less than 2%.

ICE is far more destructive than the any criminality it purports to stop.
The entire project is unconstitutional, and insane. It's like deploying the US Army to enforce parking tickets. This corrupt 'cure' is worse than any disease.

You DO notice this BS of ICE has NOTHING to do with immigration? It's just a trigger word to justify harassment of BLUE states!
Many red states have 2-3 or more times the immigrants.
Here in MN, ICE has ardently AVOIDED the gang areas. To chickensh** to confront the REAL criminal element!
