Q: Do you think ICE officers need deescalation training?
KRISTI NOEM: The officers we have out there are very highly trained and skilled specific for the operations they're doing. They're utilizing the most gifted individuals on these operations.

Attended a vigil for Renee Good this evening in Vienna. Minneapolis — the place I called home for over ten years — will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s where I served as a police officer and worked to make the community safer. Seeing it now resemble a militarized zone is heartbreaking.

What if I told you that the United States already had a treaty obligation for the mutual defense of Greenland should it come under attack.
Leavitt: "The president was very clear last night. He said he wants to the US acquire Greenland because he feels that if we do not, then it will eventually be acquired or perhaps even hostilely taken over by China or Russia. Perhaps it would be in the best interest of Greenland to be part of the US"

This, combined with him *moving to the front of the car* and then reaching for, if not actually unholstering, his weapon before Good even begins moving forward deminstrates that the intention to shoot was not reactive to a threat posed by the vehicle

The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too.

One agent literally moves to stand in front of the vehicle (she has no other way to move) and two
more agents, including the one who shot her, approach the vehicle. Those are not the actions of people who have a reasonable belief that they are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Law enforcement officers CANNOT use deadly force against a fleeing person fleeing unless they have a reasonable belief that the individual poses a danger to others (e.g., they know the person is armed). If in vehicle, the person must be threatening to use deadly force with the vehicle or other means

This is an escalation and Minnesota leaders have a duty to meet the moment by:
1. Demanding the arrest of the murderer
2. Demanding that federal agents leave the state
3. Publicly threatening to withhold tax dollars by placing payments in escrow if the first two demands are not met

This right here is why the FBI cannot be trusted with this OiS by ICE. Either MPD or the MN BCA should take over this investigation.

If MPD wants to salvage its relationship with their community, arrest the Border Patrol/ICE agents for murder before the Feds can move them out of MN jurisdiction. If initial reporting is true, case law is well established you don't shoot into a fleeing vehicle. Stand tf up against this regime.
Someone who claims to have witnessed the incident says
- car was blocking ice
- they told them to move
- "something happened'
- ICE shot into the car as it was driving away
- passenger got out of the car covered away and said friend was dead
