Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Hard, hard disagree. You do not need a constitutional amendment to abolish ICE or disestablish DHS. We can do this - but not this year. A new American coalition can do it, but it'll be long after this bunch of soulless opportunists are flushed from government.

Trump's mass deportation raids have led to violent confrontations across the US. Today, a woman originally from Colorado was killed in Minneapolis. Witnesses say she was trying to comply with conflicting orders from agents. The Trump administration calls her a domestic terrorist.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.
The way ICE officers approached the vehicle involved in today's shooting was counter to their training, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC News.

The official said ICE officers are trained:

— never to approach a vehicle from the front;

— to approach vehicles or possibly armed people in a “tactical L” 90-degree angle to prevent injury or cross-fire;

— not to shoot at a moving vehicle;

— only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death.

ICE officers are also instructed that firing at a vehicle will not make it stop moving in the direction of the officer.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?
