And yet the videos show that they didn't enforce the law. It's right there in the videos.

#342Regarding just the headline, at this point it's not really about immigration, this has evolved into a soft civil conflict being waged for political reasons. The two people who have been killed so far were themselves citizens and at best were political dissidents. They were not themselves subject to detainment due to immigration status.
I don’t think it’s ever about what Trump claims. It’s just one crisis after another where they hope to distract and divide people to get themselves power / support and anyone killed along the way, they don’t care.
Some of trumps big donors have been caught hiring large number of illegal folks by design and they don’t care.

Man, I hate that they "both sides" this. "DHS says he approached with a handgun, NYT says the video shows a phone" makes it seem like just an unlucky misunderstanding. But the DHS quote clearly is a straight up lie based on video evidence, and this doesn't convey how it was a straight up execution and that all the escalation was done by the officers.

Doesn’t matter if he was or wasn’t resisting arrest. Totally irrelevant. This is supposed to be a country of laws. There is no law that allows for execution for resisting arrest.
I guarantee you there was also no legal cause for arrest either, these Nazis just like to assert that filming them and making noise is a federal crime.

You're welcome. Happy to see evidence and call it like it is.
I trust my eyes over billionare-funded Fox News and authority figures, which is your perspective I could get anywhere.

And when you're unlawfully murdered, you have no recourse. They do not care what you tell them, and if you don't resist, you're potentially dead anyway. They have arrested lawful immigrants and citizens, and held them illegally, in some cases for weeks or months. "Comply and you might get lucky and survive" is not a life safety strategy. I'm unsure where this idea to not resist someone who is very likely to kill you…

Do you know how they died? Here’s some reporting on the people who died (the ones listed on that page): https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/10/ice-deaths-assa...
Kinda deflates things a bit, don’t you think? Seems like cancer and COVID are the real killers over the last two decades.

Watch the video of what led to this. He was standing there filming with his phone, ICE ran up to him and started yelling/pushing. Are you suggesting that him filming was obstructing ICE?

So you assert that there is some prima facia obstruction going on here but refuse to clearly state what the obstructive behavior is?

Nice 2nd amendment when cops are allowed to execute anyone with a gun.
these are not cops, these are federal agents, its very different, and they are suppossed to be even more beholden to the constitution as they are not operating in a frame of states rights based legislation.
Re: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning
#350That's a summary execution in broad daylight. I have no words.
We still have space for discussions about the specific flaws of Microsoft's BitLocker implementation on the front page when the much-more salient "wrench attack" ( https://xkcd.com/538/ ) is stronger very day. This execution has more significant implications than the combined heft of the chipper clip, or of EARN IT, SOPA, or the myriad of other bad bills introduced to the US Congress over the years. Tech libertariani…
You are exactly right. People on this site complaining how these topics are not tech related are absolute fools.
