Your daily reminder that being in the USA illegally is a misdemeanor, NOT a felony.
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

Church full of white people in the Midwest literally singing “we will abolish ICE” and guys like Chuck Schumer can’t bring themselves to say they will maybe possibly not give them another million dollars

This is your regular reminder that authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.

This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

The only synagogue in Jackson, MS burned last night. It was arson. They've been here before--they were attacked by the KKK because the rabbi spoke in favor of civil rights.

They have no usable torah for services, all burned. Torahs are handmade! If you can donate a bit this week, here's a spot.
For anyone else reading this, feeling helpless, and wondering what they can do: the synagogue has a donation form and I've donated with a note that it's for fire recovery immediate expenses. www.bethisraelms.org

My gut reaction is he was angry at being teased about being a “big boy” and he assassinated a woman in the middle of the street for suggesting he was overweight or out of shape.

This had nothing to do with fear for his safety. He murdered someone out of rage.
This, combined with him *moving to the front of the car* and then reaching for, if not actually unholstering, his weapon before Good even begins moving forward deminstrates that the intention to shoot was not reactive to a threat posed by the vehicle
Hand switch at the 29sec mark thus freeing up his right weapon side hand:

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.
i have watched the shooter's video. it's going to make you way the fuck madder.
I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

The more video that’s out there, the worse this gets ..it looks like a hate crime…
This sounds so much more like "domestic violence" than it does like "domestic terrorism."
The shooter calls her a "fucking bitch" right after shooting her three times. He shot because he was pissed off, not because he reasonably believed he was in danger. Also, he is filming while handling his weapon at the same time?!? Was he even looking at where he was shooting?

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.

🚨 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.

Stop the lies.

The case would be removed to federal court, but that just means the ICE agent would be prosecuted in front of a federal judge. State prosecutors would still handle the prosecution.

If the Feds want to file federal charges of their own, that would be a different thing, but I don't think they will.

Connecticut Congressman John Larson is calling on Kristi Noem to resign and says he’s introducing a bill to block ICE from operating without state coordination.

“There is blood on the hands of this Administration [and] the ICE agents involved in the execution of an American citizen.”
