This is most definitely non-exculpatory. Renee's partner was outside the car engaging with an agent, then turned to get into the car as the agent reached for a weapon. It also appears that Renee saw the weapon, locked the doors, and tried to drive away.
The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence

Is Your Democratic Rep On This List?
Last summer, these 75 Dems voted with MAGA Republicans to "express gratitude to ICE." These corporate Democrats then called for greater state and local collaboration with ICE fascists. Most of them are running for re-election. Some for US Senate. Vote Them OUT.

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.
THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.
These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.

So, our banking system would collapse if we stopped allowing money laundering?
Corporate Dem Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands in foreign bribes.
Trump just pardoned them.
Hakeem Jeffries is praising Trump’s decision as “exactly the right outcome” & praising Cuellar as “a beloved member of the House.”
Ridiculous.😐

Massie was crucial to forging the Epstein bill coalition. What he's saying here -- that Epstein had CIA and Mossad ties -- is supported by reporting, notably the excellent series at Drop Site on Epstein's as an international power broker. The mainstream media has almost entirely ignored this topic.
Rep. Thomas Massie: Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies. That’s why they’re trying to stop this.
