This is well within the state’s jurisdiction. The government currently covering up a pedophile ring is now also covering up a murder.
Noem on Minnesota officials: "They have not been cut out. They don't have any jurisdiction in this investigation."

After Columbine I thought we would move heaven and earth to prevent mass shootings.
We did nothing and now they are almost a daily occurrence.
Today we watched an ICE thug brutally murder an American citizen in cold blood. A young mother.
If we do nothing this too will become a daily occurrence.

Thank God there is video and we don’t have only Kristi Noem’s lies about this - which she likely got from the agents’ supervisor. If there were no videos, as is the case with many criminal incidents, just imagine how big the lies get.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

Last week, we published a story detailing ICE's strategy for recruiting new officers, including targeting "gun rights" supporters and geo-fencing ads around gun shows.
Ex-ICE director told me: “That mentality you’re fostering tends to inculcate in people a certain aggressiveness"

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
