FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

ICE could start by taking a harder look at its own ranks. Here’s a thread of CBP/ICE officers who have been arrested for sex crimes while serving as federal law enforcement. bsky.app/profile/paca...
Noem: "Every single thing I've said has been factual about what's been going on in Mpls, in Minnesota...we've surged HSI there to focus on sex trafficking & child trafficking. It's so prevalent in MN. It's horrific...we're gonna keep hundreds of HSI officers there to continue to protect those kids."

Today in 1975, a USAF board of inquiry ruled 38-year-old Maj. Harold Hering, a decorated pilot with 20 years of service, be discharged because two years earlier—during ICBM combat crew training at Vandenberg AFB—he asked how he would know a launch order was lawful and came from a rational president.

One of the important things about this video is that from his perspective he could clearly see her turning the wheel to the right as she pulled out, i.e. AWAY FROM HIM, making the idea that she was trying to hit him and he had to kill her to save himself from a 5 mph collision even more preposterous
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

For decades, cops have been trained not to shoot at moving vehicles.
Instead, they are taught to do something much safer for everybody involved: Get out of the way. But the federal agents enforcing President Trump’s mass deportation campaign seem to be taking a far more dangerous path.
