ICE Agent Jonathan Ross "got even" for this incident it seems: www.dhs.gov

"The ICE officer was hospitalized and is expected to make a full recovery."

Jonathan Ross certainly did make a full recovery.

#82 Did they include this video?

Hint: It isn't on The Space Nazi's site.

BBC did an excellent breakdown of the video of the murder.

Did they include this video?
x.com

If not you're looking a a narrative.

Hell the BBC is so biased it won't even cover the Iranian revolution.

More from the cited article ...

...Hunt was a guest on Wednesday night's edition of Newsmax TV's Carl Higbie Frontline, during which he took things right to eleven. He flatly stated that if you follow orders, "then you get to keep your life," and made many false or evidence-free assertions:
...
CARL HIGBIE: Congressman, you know, terrible that an American citizen lost their life. However, we now just found out from Secretary Kristi Noem that this person apparently had been chasing these ICE agents, harassing them all morning.

REP. WESLEY HUNT (R-TX): The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them, and then you get to keep your life.

And it is clear that she tried to use her vehicle as a weapon, mow over an ICE agent, and now she is dead.

And her death is tragic, but at the end of the day, it was completely avoidable if she would have simply followed the commands of the ICE agents.

But what really is more disturbing to me is Governor Walz's comments about using the National Guard to keep the federal government ICE agents out of his state.

He has now gone full Jefferson Davis, and that's what -- I would call it civil war. This is a problem.

The left always does this. They always clamor for more violence. They always clamor for more rioting. They've already burned to the ground.

At the end of the day, the violence must stop. We must respect law enforcement.

Respect this president that said, "I am going to clamp down on illegal immigration".

#704 & #705 'Tis almost like they've never seen this video.

Or at least they refuse to admit that they've seen it and how it completely destroys their defense of the indefensible.

There's no evidence she "hit the petal" to escape.
She let an ICE vehicle through right before all this happened.
She was stopped. She was not moving.

Another ICE vehicle approached, stopped, and ICE-1 officer got out.
That ICE-1 officer attempted to open her door.
The car was in reverse and she backed up and then stopped - likely putting the car in forward and cranking the wheel to the RIGHT. You can see that in the video.

The 2nd officer was in front and to the left - clear of the car.
ICE-2 unholstered his gun and raised it and aimed at her.
The car moved forward with the wheel cranked hard to the RIGHT.
ICE-2 officer remained to the LEFT of the front of the car.
ICE-2 shot her while her car was going hard right and not aiming at or heading towards ICE-2.
The vehicle proceeds in the hard right turn completely avoiding ICE-1 and ICE-2, while ICE-2 continues to shoot her from the side (at least one additional shot).
The vehicle goes out of control down the street crashing into parked cars.
ICE refused to let a doctor attend to her.
ICE refused to let the ambulance that finally got there to drive to where she was.

Trump, Vance, Noem continue to flat out lie about this.

She was moving slowly, turning the wheel to the right when she was shot.
What do you think happens when you get shot? You relax? You die? Do you tense up immediately? What do you think her legs and feet did?

One shot was through the windshield. The other shots were from the side of the vehicle. The "officer" wasn't in any danger. At ALL.

#4 Yep.

We have a person cosplaying president.

'Tis all show, meant to distract and confuse, to sew chaos.

From one atrocious event to the next.

Got to keep the people confused, amused (bread & circuses) and fighting with each other, while the US treasury is being raided, and we're entering the 16 tons era:

Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the straw boss said, "Well a-bless my soul!"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion
Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin' better step aside
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't getcha, then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

@#14 ... How did these people become Super Citizens above any accountability?

Qualified Immunity. That's how. ...

It is worse than that, imo.

Inside ICE's superpowers
www.axios.com

...
The images of masked, heavily armed immigration agents snatching people off the streets and taking them away in unmarked cars have shocked many Americans -- and led to a simple question: Is all of this legal?

It is -- at least for now.

Why it matters: Since Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was created after the 9/11 attacks, its agents have operated with vastly more enforcement power, less transparency and fewer guardrails than local police. ...

Zoom in: Under Trump, critics say, ICE has become the closest thing the U.S. has to a secret police force.

ICE agents aren't required to wear body cameras, can cover their faces, don't have to provide badge numbers or identify themselves, can arrive in unmarked cars and don't need a warrant from a judge to detain someone. ...

ICE doesn't have to collect evidence for cases and has few parameters around its use of force. ...



"Can local law enforcement arrest and charge an ICE agent?"

www.reuters.com

COULD THE OFFICER BE PROSECUTED?
Federal agents are generally immune from state prosecution for actions taken as part of their official duties. Immunity only applies when an officer's actions were authorized under federal law and were necessary and proper.
If Minnesota charged the agent, he could seek to move the case to federal court and argue he is immune from prosecution.
To prevail, the state would have to show the actions were outside his official duties or were objectively unreasonable or clearly unlawful.
