I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

That is not an exaggeration. So it is perfectly legal to have a gun up there. Now if the guy was pointing at the agents maybe he thought they were wild animals and was hunting.

And they're claiming self defense.
Sure, a half dozen men can't contain one guy, and, while he's on the ground, they shoot him 10 times.
The ICE organization is a terrorist group, and what they're doing is a form of ethnic cleansing. It has nothing to do with rounding up dangerous criminals.

ICE is going to do this stuff in every city. They aren’t even going after dangerous criminals, they’re going after law abiding immigrants who have cases before the courts because those are the easiest ones to nab and the get bonuses per person taken. So why target dangerous criminals who will hide, run, and fight, when you can target people here legally who will answer the door when you knock?

They want to kill people, that’s what they’re here to do.

She was right behind them, apparently recording the whole thing. If they haven't shot or disappeared her already, that video is likely to turn up soon and will show the incident more clearly.

She was front row.

There is a first initial bang they all jump back from. But from my view/angle, it looked like the kneeling man on the left had pulled something from his right hip before the bang and then reached forward.

My thinking, as of now, is that agent was the first shot.

- The guy in grey nervously reaches into the scrum as the victim is already partially down and surrounded by several ICE goons trying to take him down.

- The guy in grey snatches the gun from the ground (?) with his right hand as the struggle continues and intensifies.

- The guy in grey stands up and quickly turns away, clearly holding the gun in his right hand...the gun is visible through the parked car's window.

- The guy in grey looks really scared as he runs away, watching nervously over his shoulder as the shooting is unfolding behind him.

- He then ducks behind a parked car for safety.

I'm reading several accounts that the shooting occurred after the guy in grey had the gun in his hand. The struggle obviously stops suddenly when the victim is shot, after the guy in grey is already running away with the gun in his hand. The video made by the lady in pink, photographing the entire scene a few feet away, should be extremely interesting.

as he enters and leaves.

He could very likely have reached in while he already had the gun. Then he leaves, ducking for cover as you mention, and they have their story.

It stinks of a plant. The whole thing.

The second video shows the gun being held by the guy in grey, it's visible through the window of the vehicle. The whole thing looks like an execution. There's another video of the victim just moments before the shooting:

They are simply saying he "had a gun", as if that is enough to justify the summary execution. They are not saying the guy threatened him with a gun in any way.

everyone who isn't a convicted felon has the right to own and carry a gun? What's up with those second amendment advocates?

Plus, we know it wasn't about a gun, it was about the guy daring to question them in any way.

There will be more murders by these thugs...I mean, they murdered a white, suburban mom and nothing happened.

every member of ICE and BP who was active from January 21 2025 until this ends... everyone of them down to the office clerks... must be arrested and prosecuted for criminal conspiracy to commit murder... and RICO. They are simply an organized criminal gang with badges and heavy weapons and body armor. No different that many other gangs.
