To wonder if past trauma was a factor in the Renee Nicole Good murder and that, while not absolving agent, it shows ICE should select agents more carefully?

Reading this from the BBC, I wonder if the agent was suffering from previous trauma. They had earlier been in the Iraq War and then had huge number of stitches after being dragged by a car while arresting apparently a 'child sex offender' illicit migrant last March.

Thus I wonder if, because Renee Good clipped them with the car earlier(as The Times indicates), shooting at her car as she drove past was less a rational decision borne from evil and more an instinctive reaction from recent trauma with cars on the job?

This is NOT an excuse. But I wonder if it also shows that ICE are selecting traumatised agents who are too dangerous, due to this, to be in that position?

ICE agent in Minnesota shooting was dragged by car in June

The officer was injured in a separate case that also involved a car pulling away during an investigation.

So this naety criminal otherwise known as an elderly American citizen had several members of ICE (6 ish)enter his home and make him leave his house in the snow, he was taken off for a few hours after they decided he was legal they returned him home. Was he resisting, why didnt they let him get dressed? Why did they think he was illegal?

Behave now Donald we all know its not every one but the ones who are rotten ruin the barrel and drag acceptable standards downm
Were not going off of lie Social were reading proper news reports and listening to your dekocratically electred and critically watching videos....were also looking at the injuries inflicted on the children who are released. Seeing your mates knee people repeatedly in the face until one dpots they are being filmed seeing them repeatedly hit heads on the ground whils 6 groen men sit on one woman. That is brutallity let alone the sexist racist language.

Sorry didnt upload the nasty criminals picture

I don't know why they didn't let him bet dressed i wasn't in the house at the time. Perhaps he was resisting arrest? It's common in this country too people are often carted off in their PJs.

As an aside age is irrelevant. Old people can and do break the law. At least he was released and hasn't 'disappeared' or been locked up in the 'nazi' run detention centres some of you apparently have inside knowledge of.

Wherever it happens its wrong. If you watched the video they are helping him walk so hes not going to resist the 6 armed men. He also isnt a criminal becouse they brought him home.
You dont seem to have much compassion babies, toddlers, old people, teenagers, 8 year olds all seem to be fair game criminals to you. Even once prooved they were nothing of the sort.

Out of interest do you think that Manchester police acted proportionately in tasering the three individuals and kicking one individual in the head at Manchester Airport in 2024.

The incident was investigated and appropriate charges brought. It is not comparable to Trump granting immunity to an agent of the state executing a woman without due process.
In the airport incident, no-one was killed, justice will be served.

How am I brainwashed I've seen footage with my own eyes of ID being requested and shown all very normal and calm.

The agitators are not representative of every ICE interaction.

Look at all the nazi stuff on here it is appalling how people are trying to incite hate and unrest.

Haha, I think you’ve jumped the shark with this one 😀

Actually I do think that they behaved proportionately if you look at the video in the attached bbc link.

The point that I wanted to make was it shows how edited or single source videos can create a misleading narrative.

At the time only the first video showing the police tasering and kicking the man was initially shown which created the false impression of unreasonable police brutality.

However when you look at the second video showing the whole incident then it shows the men attacking the police and imo a reasonable response.

I think this issue is a red herring to divert from the issue. We all know there will be odd occasions where investigation is needed and it maybe wrong doing. In this case there was no investigation with the ICE officer being excused by government with out investigation the message now is they can do what thry like.....and they are doing it. They are acting with violence and against their rules and nobody in power is stopping them, that fuels protests...maybe thats part of the plan the US do seem to love to send the army in and to use the sledgehammer when words would do. Perhaps thats the gun culture.

People getting arrested in their pjs, questioned then returned home, so what! It is not abducted and never seen again is it. Perspective is needed.
A 'compassionless void' indeed.

So being dragged out of work, beaten up and dumped miles away is fine, so long as they do eventually let you go?

I think you need to imagine the fear these people face....and remember some have been deported or are still being held despite the correct paperwork. Imagine if government decided the name Gloriia was suddenly determined to be a risk of being illegal so all were rounded up

I feel safe because I have a passport and the correct documents for living in the country that I'm in. It is not rocket science. They can come to my door anytime.

Jonathan Aguilar Garcia, 17, a US citizen, was taken from his workplace, beaten up and dumped miles away.

On the subject of the man you're on about though, he tried to show proof of citizenship and they didn't care. They didn't even have a warrant to force entry into his house. They took him anyway, leaving his grandchild in tears. Eventually he was returned home with no apology and no explanation. He suffers from severe psoriasis, a condition that worsens with stress.

Now, back to people being kidnapped and beaten up. There are three confirmed and five unconfirmed cases of individuals who are in hospital in Minneapolis having been found dumped by ICE in local parks. One has a skull fracture. Meanwhile there have been three confirmed deaths at Fort Bliss - if this sort of shit happened in the UK, HM Inspectorate of Prisons would have swooped right in.

Then there's this:

You reckon that having all of the correct documents keeps you safe from ICE? You must have your eyes closed if you can't see what's happening in the US.

Jonathan Aguilar Garcia is one of the cases that breaks my heart. There are many like it, but the video for this one shows him, a teenager, being taken from his job at Target and (literally) thrown out of the car outside a Walmart. He’s bleeding and crying while bystanders try to look after him. They ask him if he’s OK and he cries no. He’s just a kid really, it’s heartbreaking and there are multiple examples like this.

You have to be pretty evil to not have compassion for these cases.

So did the others who got scooped up. Are you so nieve to think its all lies? That sounds like Nazi Germany too. I used to work with a lovely German lady she broke down in tears one day when she discovered the trueth and what had been hidden when she was in school. What do you think all these americans have as an agenda to make such a huge lie? Did you watch that woman (the leader of ice) confroted by vertans having to hear the cruel treatment they suffered?
