The most dangerous thing about yesterday's ICE shooting isn't the shooting itself: It's the response from Trump, Vance, and Noem that signals to ICE that they can do this again, with impunity. No investigation. No suspension. No talk of training or policies. Just impunity.
Let's be even more clear about this:
-ICE's jurisdiction is ONLY on matters related to immigration.
-They do NOT have normal police powers or authorities.
-To stop a vehicle they MUST have reasonable cause to believe it contains an undocumented immigrant.
-To draw their weapon on someone they MUST have reasonable cause that their lives are in *DIRECT* danger.
-They CANNOT detain you with out reasonable cause to believe you are undocumented.
-They CANNOT detain a US citizen for passing-by the area.
Ice had NO jurisdiction to stop or interact with this woman at all, never mind pull out a gun.
The floods ripped through Texas on July 4.
On July 5, FEMA received 3000 calls from survivors. 1% were unanswered.
That night, Trump/Noem fired the people who answer the calls.
On July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls. 65% unanswered.
July 7: 85%.

🚨Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz just toured “Alligator Alcatraz” and came out shaking: “It’s 34 people per cage. They drink, brush, and defecate in the same tiny unit. The photos don’t come close to the stench of it.”
We’re packing human beings into kennel conditions, then calling it justice.
Who is one of the nation’s biggest opponents of the Big, Beautiful Bill?
Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.
Twenty bishops called President Trump’s cuts to Medicaid and food stamps “an affront to the dignity of human life.”
10 ICE agents parking in a high school lot with no warrant, asked to leave, and then caught urinating on campus.
My American pride is at an all-time low this Independence Day. https://t.co/89ohf4bUQ5
first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”
when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country
when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn
what is “reassurance”, in this place ?
rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey
This was such an easy win for Amazon. It let customers do something positive with every purchase, even if on a small scale. Between this and rampant fake product reviews, makes me want to stop giving this company my money 😑 https://t.co/qSgjMeeywj

I’ve contacted @tim_cook, Apple's CEO, to block the Apple Store for citizens of the Russian Federation, and to support the package of US government sanctions! If you agree to have the president-killer, then you will have to be satisfied with the only available site Russia 24.
