The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

I work forensics in civil courts and I stopped working police shootings because of this exact circumstance: trigger happy cops will deliberately stand in front of vehicles, and at that point any movement of the vehicle will be treated as an attempted assault on the agent and they’ll open fire.

My point is the US state is not "seeking to pay for the war" through the seizure of these assets. It's seeking to enable capital accumulation by the private sector. Therefore the oil profits don't need to balance with the cost of occupying Venezuela bc the private sector isn't paying for that.
