Coupla three things:

~Since ICE, DHS, or Border Patrol agents are conducting warrantless operations at intersections or roads, people will try to flee. These G-Men surround the cars and are immediately in the path of the escape. The intent for these migrants is escape, not homicide. In the case of poor Ms. Good, her intent was egressing a nasty situation which terrified her.

~Every county in the US has jurisdiction over murder. Just because the federal government says a county doesn't have jurisdiction does not make it so. Luigi Mangione is being tried by the People of the State of New York for murder and simultaneously by the US DOJ on terrorism charges.

~Any county DA in the US can convene a Grand Jury with whatever evidence is available. BCA in Minnesota has enough evidence to investigate Jonathan Ross and the Hennepin County DA can convene a Grand Jury today, as could the DA in Portland.

~DHS and ICE agents are used to conducting planned raids at homes, factories, or farms, not impromptu traffic stops like we have seen these past 13 months or so. Border Patrol agents are used to manning planned checkpoints on roads with their own vehicles, traffic cones, spotlights, and areas known to them. Now heavily-armed USBP agents are on roving commissions in urban environments unfamiliar to them and without their own vehicles.

~Casualty rates for federal operations tended to be low because raid plans for the suspects were organized. The Agent-in-Charge (AIC) would assign each SA a role (back exit, breacher, tackle team etc) and obtained blueprints of the building or house. They would have an idea of how many people to find at the target because of surveillance. The local police were notified in case they needed backup or an ambulance as the city services share the same radio bandwidth. Now we see ad hoc operations which are getting out of control.

~The standards for ICE agents have been lowered and they feel "empowered" because they are "taking back America" and Dummkopf Trumpf has their back as his 6 Jan pardons have demonstrated.

Trump revealed some of Friday's jobs data early in post the prior day
www.cnbc.com

... President Donald Trump in a social media post Thursday evening indirectly revealed data from Friday's market-moving nonfarm payrolls count, an apparent violation of long-standing federal policy on statistical releases.

In a Truth Social post around 9 p.m. ET, the president indicated that private sector payrolls had expanded by 654,000 for the full year of 2025, a total that would have included Friday's jobs count for December.

Office of Management and Budget policy prohibits executive branch officials from commenting on such releases early and in fact forbids public statements until 30 minutes after the release.

Presidents can be briefed on official jobs figures ahead of the release.

A White House official conceded, however, that "there was an inadvertent public disclosure of aggregate data that was partially derived from pre-released information. The White House is accordingly reviewing protocols regarding economic data releases." ...

While Trump's post would not allow traders to calculate the exact payrolls figure because of lack of data on revisions, they could have gleaned a rough estimation of the figure and possibly ruled out a December job-loss scenario that would have spooked markets. ...
