State and federal officials announced on Monday that 10 people were arrested for engaging in a "planned ambush" on an ICE detention facility in Texas over the Fourth of July holiday. The individuals were charged with attempted murder of a federal officer, according to court records. The incident occurred at the Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas, on Friday, according to Nancy Larson, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas. At approximately 10:37 p.m., 10 to 12 individuals dressed in black, military-style clothing began shooting fireworks and engaging in acts of vandalism at the facility, Larson said during a press conference.
Yeah the whole "ICE instead of law enforcement" thing concerns me.
While i am not saying that these charges my not be justified, I am saying that ICE seems to be able to go beyond the legal police guidelines in their interactions with people. Maybe even to the point of provoking violence instead of quelling it.

... 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. ...

Not sure what your current alias is trying to say.
But, I'll go with...
I have been listening to BBC news for decades, even before the Internet occurred, in the 19060's, 70' and 80's via shortwave radio.
The BBC reporting is very good to excellent, imo.
That aside.

So, similar if not quite identical, to the BBC reporting.
Now, if I may ask, what was your current alias trying to say in the #7 quote I cited?
thx.
" I still remain curious ... why did your current alias alter the headline of the article it posted to include something it now says it it unable to substantiate?"
Already answered. I re@d it early in the day and now can't find the source. So I backed off and would drop it from the headline if I could because I can't substantiate it.
www.foxnews.com Fox news shows a fight facism flag in a unlabelled photo amongst article about group of 10 being arrested "The Justice Department on Monday named 10 individuals charged with shooting a police officer in the neck and opening fire on other correctional officers outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on the Fourth of July.
