Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Outside I ran into Minneapolis Chief of Police Brian O’Hara who says he will abide by an arrest warrant should it be issued.

i'm gonna keep it real with you, we know there's probable cause, we've seen the video, and it's negligent if we don't see an arrest warrant if not an arrest by the end of the day

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY
Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon.
The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.

Live: ICE agent shoots, kills woman in Minneapolis
Video of the shooting shows an agent firing at a vehicle as it drives toward him. The governor and Minneapolis mayor called for calm after the incident. ICE said the agent acted defensively.

The stakes have been raised. The Democrats have got to run on putting these people in prison. They have to. Jobs, food, all the rest, but shooting a mother in the head on a public street? None of this Garland stuff. "The full force of the government will be brought to bear" on this and similar.

One of the things that has been lost in the history of the Boston Massacre is that the citizens had assembled in protest of the murder of an 11 year old child who threw a brick through the window of a post house in protest of the Stamp Act and was killed by a British officer in retaliation
Paul Revere's 1770 engraving of the Boston Massacre is historically inaccurate, but helped inflame sentiments against the British. Revere omits Crispus Attucks, a formerly enslaved man of African & Native American descent— the first casualty.

They can try to distance themselves from this. But there's a reason no one is shocked that this happened, that it happened before (in Chicago), and will happen again.
DHS officials are already leaking that there are serious problems with how the ICE officer handled this.
"Officers are also instructed not to shoot at a moving vehicle and only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death, the official said."

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Trump is using ICE like a secret police force. They’ve used Gestapo-like tactics to terrorize communities for nearly a year, and now they’re literally killing people. This can’t be America.
I was the first member of Congress to call for abolishing ICE. November’s elections can’t come soon enough.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

Minnesota has every ability to do this with today's killing of a motorist by an ICE agent.

As a killing in Minneapolis is documented, the law clearly stipulates that federal agents do not have universal immunity.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

An alternate way to think about 'idiotperialism' is that it is actually just gender-affirming-foreign-policy-care for a bunch of overgrown man-babies worried about how people will perceive the size of their own little MANPADs unless they go do some manly war stuff.
We frankly need a term for these neo-imperialist dreams that fail to take into account that it isn't 1600 and so end up throwing away a million lives and all the tanks seizing some farms in Ukraine, or wasting time with Venezuelan oil.
