For those following this story—while we were able to identify the ICE agent in the high-viz vest brandishing a rifle as Brenden Cuni, DHS still hasn't confirmed who the shooter is. Cuni has worked for DHS in various roles for nearly a decade and is currently in a supervisory position.

Donald Trump is using fear and panic as a weapon — putting families at risk, undermining our economy, and terrorizing communities.   No President is above the Constitution. No one in this country is without rights.   California will stand up for our communities and hold federal agents accountable.

Adding to this: it’s not just that the Constitution allows for impeachment; it COMMANDS it upon the commission of treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors by federal office holders. The word “shall” is a command, not a plea.
