Call me stupid, but surely the extra profits from selling US oil at inflated prices will go to the privately owned oil companies and their shareholders. Not into US government coffers, save for a small fraction by way of extra taxes collected.

DHS initially claimed the shooting of Marimar Martinez was justified because agents “were ambushed by domestic terrorists that rammed federal agents with their vehicles.” Footage reveals that agent Charles Exum slammed his SUV into hers and shot Martinez seconds after leaving his vehicle.

DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different.
"It’s time to get aggressive," a Border Patrol agent said shortly before Marimar Martinez was shot five times.
