Please look at the second image in this article[0]. It shows each frame of the video where a shot was fired. Her tires were pointed away when the first shot was fired and the second two shots were from the side of the vehicle. She was clearly trying to leave, she was not trying to hit anyone.

What I find even more horrifying than the murder is the response from people in power. Lying. Calling the victim a terrorist. Claiming she deserved it. Expressing unequivocal support for the killer. Threatening more of the same for the opposition. Posting fucking memes! Not even a hint of sympathy anywhere to be seen. These people are animals. They should be in chains in front of a tribunal, not running the country.…

The women he is praising for filming is, according to the current government, committing illegal violence against the ICE agents. https://reason.com/2026/01/08/you-have-the-right-to-record-i... > The Trump Administration Says It's Illegal To Record Videos of ICE.

And your point is ? Because someone is filming, it is okay for a federal agent to execute their partner ? I'm not sure I understand.
It's almost like giving a nearly-completely-unregulated quasi-military force unlimited funding, more weapons than God, and no clear goals other than "deport more people" is actually a really bad idea. People voted for this. Oh but hey, we at least made sure to pretend to save money by firing and then rapidly rehiring a lot of the workforce.
If we give money to groups that aid and support the protection of illegal aliens, no sense in not outspending them.
Do you mean "human beings"

Here you appear to be using "illegal aliens" as a synonym for "immigrants". Groups that aid and support immigrants are doing a service that benefits America and all Americans; we should give them money so they can continue to help. Immigration is of benefit to most nations; we are no different. But if and when you call immigrants illegal aliens, you're removing an important distinction and distorting reality. Have yo…

I'm not sure this will play well for them politically. A fair bit of what got Trump elected was saying they'd protect ordinary Americans from immigrant criminals. Now they have footage of a white middle class mum in an suv, pretty much their median voter, being shot dead by their thugs and saying don't believe you eyes and clear video evidence, she tried to run an officer over when she obviously didn't.

How is this even relevant to the discussion at hand? The issue from the article is that an "Immigration" agency used lethal violence against a _citizen of the US_. This is not an illegal aliens issue.

As self-proclaimed hackers who are part of a community whose core values include curiosity and critical thinking, we do ourselves, and the world, a massive disservice by closing our eyes and ears to important information just because it's political in nature. Hacker culture and fascism are antithetical, and we should all be acutely aware when the current regime moves towards violence to squash dissent.
