I lived my whole life in the twin cities and have a lot of friends, US citizens, who are too scared to go out to eat right now because of the ICE raids. If that wasn’t the point it is certainly the effect. I applaud Walz and Frey, and I will be ranking Frey first next time he’s up for reelection. Something tells me though he will be on to bigger things than mayor of Minneapolis.

The allegations of fraud made by the people invading my home and terrorizing my friends? I’ll take those with a grain of salt.
And for the record, I’m not afraid of ICE, never said I was. ICE is racially profiling people, arresting them without cause, and deporting them without due process. I happen to be white, so that doesn’t apply in my case. It’s also coincidentally the same reason I feel safe posting a comment like this online. Free speech is being chilled in communities that ice targets, and I feel responsibility to relay what I’m hearing.
ICE also just gunned down a US citizen in the street, and that should scare everyone.

I have a hard time to understand that. The woman just accelerated from 0mph to what, 4mph? The officer was aware of the car. The car was taking a turn away from the officer.
That was no life threatening situation. If the officer had not shot, what would have happened? The woman would have left the scene while the officers already had the license plate information. So I am not sure what your take is here.

What caused this alleged "internal bleeding"? He wasn't hit so this is clearly a lie.

Yeah, it was filmed from three different angles. She was told to drive, she drove into him, he ended up with internal bleeding. You can see the moment she looks right at him and hits the gas.
It is absolutely frightening that you lot can watch something so physically simple and somehow not understand what happened.

What you write is fully compatible with what I have written.
So you think the officer defended his life in this situation or that he thought he was? I don't think so and I think it's clearly visible that's not the case.

> ICE shot someone who wasn't complying with several orders to stop her vehicle, to open her door,
The first one ordered her to leave, the next one told her to get out of her vehicle and reached into her vehicle without a warrent or justification.
Neither had any legal grounds for doing so, at least according to a civil rights lawyer who defended MAGA people deplatformed during the Biden administration.
Traffic enforcement is not within ICE's remit, particularly in this case when wide angle footage with long time frames show traffic passing both cars that are across a single lane.
> Now hitting the gas pedal and hitting an agent with your big fat SUV:
Perhaps avoid the false hyperbole.
> It's basically the same story: the left using anything it can to create martyrs
The "martyrs" are being created by the incompentance and over reach of ICE.

Police shoot and kill American citizens all the time.
Obama authorized the bombing of American citizens.
Those who are authorized to commit violence tend to do so. That in itself is not really saying much.

I don’t understand why you’re bringing up Obama. Nobody is defending him, and I think you might be inferring some sort of tribalistic defensiveness without any evidence. I see that sort of thing a lot, and I’ve never understood it.
Please correct me if I misunderstood the point you were trying to make.
tejohnso

The point I'm trying to make is that highly respected and even lauded individuals kill American citizens and people aren't generally afraid of them, so the fact that "they've shot and killed american citizens" on its own doesn't explain any fear. But I had misread the original question so my point was not quite relevant because the question was stated with justified fear already implied.

Because if an ICE agent violates your constitutional rights, you have zero recourse. There is no freedom.
If you're not afraid of that, you got your head in the sand.

Yes I am talking about that "journalist"'s YouTube video, like I said the evidence out there is accessible on the Web. If there is a nanometer evidence that implies your tax money goes to Somalians bank account, you need to investigate that.

I'm pretty traditional conservative and I don't feel that our tax money should be funding child care directly like it does these days. I want to reduce the debt and taxes.
Looking at the "journalist", I really don't understand what people say he uncovered. He showed up with a bunch of people and expected to enter a non-public facility with children to investigate and when he was denied entry, made huge claims about how over half of the state's funding is going to illegal Immigrants. I saw zero proof of anything in their "reporting" nor did I see anything credible in their approach. I fully support investigative reporting, but there's a bar that needs to be meet to be considered a journalist and rage content creators do not meet that bar.
If you want to link to specific videos that you feel do meet this bar, I'm happy to watch them, but as of now, I do not believe their reporting one bit.

This same guy, Nick Shirley, traveled to Ukraine and made a video about how there really wasn't a war and the Ukranians were just spending our money on luxury cars. A reporter, Caolan Robertson, who has spent years covering the war got an interview with him and called him out on his bullshit. If he lied about Ukraine, I am very disinclined to trust him about Somalians.

I'm not sure how this relates to what I said. The links you gave were to fraud found in Brooklyn. Did Nick Shirley uncover these cases?
I do believe that there's some fraud. I even believe there's a substantial dollar value of fraud going on. I do not believe that they uncovered 9 billion dollars in fraud visiting 5 Somali run daycare facilities and being denied entry into them with a camera crew and armed security.

I'm way more concerned about my tax money going to Donald Trump and his family and cronies. Followed by it going to billionaires and corporations. You know things that are actually happening today. I'm not very concerned at all by fluffed up recycled true crime by d tier content creators that the administration has turned into propaganda and people like you are pushing at every opportunity.

Seriously. What percentage of my taxes are going to a "Somalians bank account" as opposed to the greedy, blatantly corrupt pigs in power? I’m guessing there’s an order of magnitude difference, if not several. They are draining the coffers and laughing in our faces about it.

Your question is essentially equivalent to "Why are you scared of the Gestapo if you aren't a Jew?"
It's not a coincidence that a winner of the Nobel Prize gifted his medal to the then Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels[1], exactly as María Corina Machado gifted her Nobel medal to Trump. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. If you close your eyes to all these similarities, you're going to be in for a big surprise.

> Obama deported 3 million immigrants with ICE while he is president
Obama did it the right way, didn't he? Obama's administration managed deportations effectively and humanely, prioritizing criminals and recent arrivals through programs like Secure Communities for over 3 million removals while upholding due process, minimizing community disruptions, and avoiding widespread violence or errors like wrong-country deportations.

Citation needed. Absolutely wild to claim to know the thoughts of a dead woman. Do you speak for the dead also?
Shills keep bring up Obama deportations. Obama's administration primarily followed the law, observed due process and habeas corpus, didn't send people to concentration camps in other countries, and didn't shoot mother's in the head and then call them terrorists.
It should be clear why the response is so different, there's no need to act naive

1. US Police is very well known to act on emotions instead of actual law or protocol
2. Killing her didn't make the officer safer, now he was being approached by an effectively driverless vehicle.
3. If you put yourself infront of the car for fuck all reason that is your fault, especially as a "LEO" you should know better, but I guess that is what you get when you employ power hungry people with 0 training.

For what it's worth, the ICE agent who shot Good, Jonathan Ross, worked for US Border Patrol for eight years and has been working for ICE for a decade. Further, "Ross testified in December that he was 'a firearms instructor, an active shooter instructor ... a field intelligence officer, and ... a member of the SWAT team, the St. Paul Special Response Team'."[0]
So, not only not untrained, he is a trainer.

And yet he put himself in front of a vehicle that had a driver and a running engine, and partnered up with other agents who acted as a group with zero cohesion, issuing conflicting instructions, escalating the tension of a traffic infringement they had no actual legal authority to engage with.
Every trained professional I've communicated with in regard to this incident has effectively shaken their head and referred to it as a clown show of epic proportions, a textbook example of how not to engage with the public, an example of how authoritarian states deal with people they have no regard for.
Let's be honest, a great many US enforcement types come to firearms use with an any excuse approach coupled with an absence of ability to de-escalate situations. They act like walking cans of petrol looking for a tinder to throw themselves on.

Just to be clear, I think the situation is disgusting, entirely unprofessional, and intentionally violent. Maybe the shooter didn't make those mistakes to have a reason for murder, but the idea that someone of his experience would make such a completely foolish mistake is absurd.
Nobody, as far as I know, has any intention of hitting me with their car. Yet, for about a dozen simple reasons, if I'm crossing a walkway, driveway, or whatever with a car also trying to enter the road by driving through the area I'm walking, I often will walk behind the vehicle. People make mistakes. There are blind spots. Maybe they're having an emergency. Maybe they're intoxicated. Or maybe they do want to hit someone with their car.
It's just absurd to think this was appropriate behavior by a seasoned professional. It's not even the appropriate behavior for a reasonably developed child.

Your mind-reading abilities are malfunctioning. There's clear video evidence which disproves your claim. That raises serious questions about your good faith in this discussion.
> keeping the United States safe
From who exactly? Perhaps we could have a foreign country perform an operation to remove the people directing ICE to behave like an occupying force attempting to frighten US citizens into submission. That would help keep the country safe for democracy.
Do you think democracy in the US is worth preserving? Because it sure doesn't seem that way.
> For the other comment, you can check yourself if you don't believe in fraud.
This is a completely irrelevant distraction that just adds to the impression of bad faith from you.
