ICE appears to have murdererd a legal observer in cold blood.

“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.

Why is ICE even armed? Maybe, and I'm just throwing it out here, but maybe immigration violations shouldn't be worthy of a death sentence? And if an officer is in danger, maybe just de-escalate and go away until you can pull in trained personnel to handle potentially violent interactions.

Copaganda. I mean this is true of like 99% of al law enforcement activities, not just immigration related. But the American people are so indoctrinated into supporting these paramilitary goons that they accept it as normal.

ICE has no recruits except the "give me a reason to shoot" crowd who are scared all the time. Remember that one ICE age t who pissed his pants?

Waiting for the “It was totally self defense so I shot her in the freakin’ face a bunch of times.” Fucking cowards. I hope you all get the brazen bull.

DHS released this as an official statement:
Of course... there's video online of the incident already, and naturally it shows that that statement is complete horseshit (not that anybody had any doubts about that). This will probably get taken down soon, but here (NSFL):

I bet the same people saying the shooting was justified also believe Ashley Babitt was just peacefully touring the capital.

Video is posted to Bluesky. The agent walks up to her car window and starts shooting almost immediately. One through the windshield the others through the driver's side window.

Dhs already did that. Way ahead of you.

They straight up executed that lady. Her wheels were clearly turning right, away from the thug. This will only embolden me more. There must be retribution for this!

ICE murdered someone for no reason

The more they keep getting away with shit like this, the closer we get to them being used as a full Gestapo force. These fuckers are already murdering bystanders and kidnapping citizens. When they start getting filled with lead by the average American, no one will be surprised.

Cops often deliberately place themselves bodily in front of cars to justify escalation of force.

Calling it now. Official ICE position is going to be:
"We have no idea who this person is, we never heard of them, they probably aren't a real ICE agent, but even if they are this was a totally justified shooting."

No, they're admitting it's an ICE agent. The lie is that the woman was a domestic terrorist trying to kill them.

What a funny way for the headline to say the feds shot and killed a person.

News outlets: skipping the active voice whenever police or motorists kill since 1903.
