At no point were these agents threatened. ICE fired on a helpless woman trying to flee an ICE abduction.
Don’t be gaslit. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t plant a weapon in the vehicle.
They’re nothing but murderers.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

“Now, Stier warns, by getting rid of institutions and people he doesn't care for, Trump is turning back the clock to the 1800s, when the government served the private interests of those in power, not the public good.”
Mass firings, buyouts and heightened uncertainty led to an exodus of federal workers in 2025. More than 300,000 employees will be out of the government by the end of December.
Under Trump, 317,000 workers are out of the government. Here are 3 of their stories
