All of the ICE who killed this person knew what the right thing to do was.

But they're like Trump. The "right" things didn't apply to them when they were a scotch inconvenient to apply.

If this is why the GOP were blocking DHS funding then they'd be justified. Of course this is not why. They actually want more government sanctioned killings, not less.

The killers are nowhere near Western New York at this time, and will never return willingly. The only way the responsible parties will be brought to justice will be with a large bounty, cash for tips on the locations of the killers, and person or persons willing to go out, get them, and bring them back to Erie County to face justice...

Years ago, the NYS AG offices only hired seasoned investigators with a minimum ten years experience from other agencies. I doubt things have changed.

Their investigation into those ICE or CBP doofuses should be pretty sound.

This will help the NYSAG and their investigation: theicelist.org
