Trump's promised ICE raids have begun

DHS Statement

“At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.

The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming.

Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.

About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.

This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.”

I am bracing myself just in case I need to be astounded when that turns out to be an accurate representation of what happened. I don't think the chances are high.

Defensive shots. At least 9 of them. Bad shots, are they, ICE? One man on the ground, and that many defensive shots???

They'll be shooting people defensively in the back next.

Or they could draw inspiration from russia.

'Despite an attempted intervention by highly trained ICE officers, a man tragically shot himself nine times today in Minneapolis.'

 

[kookbreaker]

maybe he was carrying it legally, maybe he never had a gun at all, maybe he pulled it while they were beating him, maybe he didn't, maybe the saw it and freaked out. i don't know. but the problem is you can't trust ice and dhs to tell the truth. they'll say whatever makes ice look the best and lie if they need to.

There isn't a single ICE shooting incident that they have not lied about.

Police chief says the dead man's only interaction with police of which they are aware regarded parking tickets. Also he was believed to be a lawful gun owner.

Over to you, ICE.

But it's ok. They were just following orders. Behfel ist Behfel after all.

This is the new normal now. ICE wantonly kills someone, officer walks free, the victim is demonized (along with their friends and family).

Wait, new? Black people will tell you this has gone on for ages, and that they're frustrated that us whiteys are waking up to this only now. The more things change, I guess?

Was he "trying to do maximum damage" with it and "massacre law enforcement"?

US Senate candidate Michele Tafoya: "Get DHS to do an investigation. Now, I see Gov. Walz is saying let Minnesota do the investigation. He said in his post on X, 'Minnesota knows how to keep our people safe.' If that was the case, governor, where have they been the past 2 weeks?"

At least make an effort to make your lies internally consistent

The inconsistancy means that you can identify the truely loyal who will pretzel twist logic and reality to show their devotion to the Dear Leader and His Glorious Regime, and those who point out the inconsistencies Blasphemously Slander His Infallibility and may need to be rounded up by His Glorious Ministry of Truth for re-education or reassignment to more suitable duties for their talents, possible a time in a compulsory vocation, or service as compost.

I remember the first U.S. deaths from COVID. And wondering what that might portend. And then having the reality exceed anything I might have imagined.

I’m having a similar feeling right now.

They don't care as long as they get the message out quickly and get all their goons repeating it and flooding the media.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

Doing what they are trained paid bonuses to do

Pardon the edit but "trained" might be overstating it.

Next?

 

[Safe-Keeper]

Next?

Yeah, come to think of it, they did just shoot a woman trying to drive away, after she told the ICE officer she wasn't mad at him, so.

I remember the first U.S. deaths from COVID. And wondering what that might portend. And then having the reality exceed anything I might have imagined.

I’m having a similar feeling right now.

I think that's a pretty good comparison, sadly .

Statement from the Border Patrol Union

@BPUnion
Border Patrol agents are trained extremely well to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and innocent third parties. When a supposed “peaceful” protester brings a weapon (such as a loaded handgun) and brandishes it, there are going to severe consequences and repercussions. We have pleaded with and warned the media and the politicians that their irresponsible, hate-filled and false rhetoric is going to get people unnecessarily hurt, or worse, killed when they portray our agents and officers as the aggressors. They have encouraged these reckless confrontations and attacks on our agents and officers who are performing their lawful duties and enforcing the laws that Congress has put on the books. The fake and dishonest media and the shameless politicians should be held accountable for willfully misleading the public and enticing these protesters and agitators. We have full confidence that when more facts are revealed, our agents and officers will be shown to have utilized justifiable force in eliminating the threat
