happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.
Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

If ICE was doing nothing illegal then they wouldn’t care if you recorded them.
If ICE were really being assaulted by “violent rioters” then they would welcome people recording it.
Everyone knows the reason they hide their faces and stop bystanders from recording is because they are lawless goons.

"Mike Fox, a legal fellow at @cato.org.... said that even if Mr. Trump’s allegation that Ms. Good was a 'professional agitator' were true, that would not justify her killing.... You don’t get to kill someone because they engage in conduct that you disagree with or find distasteful or deplorable."
