That means they are banned from voting.
That's made some a target of vicious GOP prosecution for fraud; even if they were told incorrect info from public officials.

The problem is that there have been numerous of these “line crossings” since 2015. None of them have mattered in terms of accountability or norm-reinforcing.
A good first start is for the media to stop speaking to those who violate these norms as good faith actors, as they have continued to do.

The legal standard is that if an officer is in fear for others or himself legitimately he can use lethal force to neutralize the threat. Fleeing or eluding has never been a standard for use of lethal force.

Under Trump, we’re witnessing increased, violent confrontations by federal immigration agents that are putting communities at risk, not keeping us safe. We must refuse to accept this as normal.
There must be an immediate investigation and accountability.

An ICE agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, the latest in a series of shootings by federal agents during immigration enforcement operations. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
