ICE killed another person in Minneapolis on Saturday. The man was a legal gun owner with a license, and unconfirmed video purports to show he was unarmed when he was shot and killed.
The Department of Homeland Security is not cooperating with local authorities and, according to CNN would allow local law enforcement access to the scene of the shooting:
After immigration agents fatally shot a man in Minneapolis on Saturday, federal authorities tried to block local police from accessing the scene, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told CNN.
O’Hara asked his officers to remain on scene as part of standard protocol for preserving evidence after a shooting.
If the shooting was honest and in self-defense, why are law enforcement not allowed access to the scene?
Protesters in Minneapolis don’t back down from ICE:
Congress has an opportunity to step up and do something next week, when the Senate votes on funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is calling on the Senate to block funding for ICE.
AOC posted on X:
Americans are being killed in the streets by their government. Our Constitution is being destroyed and our rights are being dissolved.
Resist. Senate Democrats are expected to block funding for ICE this week. Activate the National Guard.
We can and must stop this.
Every moment counts, and Senate Democrats have an opportunity to do something. The idea of calling in the National Guard is also very interesting, as we will see later.
