@thomnorth2@Sadie_NC@megbasham ICE is not supposed to shoot at cars fleeing. They were told not to stand in front of cars. He had ample time to move away. His last shot was the shot that killed her. He was clear of the car at that point. He did not let emergency services help her after he shot. This is murder
ICE deported 4 Haitian women from Puerto Rico—they have now been found dead & decapitated.
At least 18 Haitian deportees have been murdered upon return—with 9 linked to Puerto Rico.
"Deporting them is condemning them to death," said community leader.
Gangs kidnap women to demand ransom—usually from relatives back in the U.S.
The 4 women had been missing for weeks—their bodies were thrown into a river which carried them away.
Trump terminated TPS deportation protections for roughly 350,000 Haitians—claiming that there is no longer any danger stopping Haitian refugees "from returning in safety."
@lntoTheForest@tre115vor1@JaiShreeRam90@CollinRugg Anybody who has driven on ice would tell you, that there is no reason to gun the car forward on a dry road only on an icy road. This narrative that if the conditions were different is a farce. The conditions were not different.
I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.
It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.
ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.
Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.
I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
@LustfulSloth13@MattMorseTV Ice agents were telling her to leave. So she was leaving. Then some masked man came up and yelled at her to get out. Which should she follow. The calm instructions or instructions from men on masks.
@DevenR76468@MattMorseTV This was a recommendation from a prosecutor. Mark Elias. You don't listen to seasoned prosecutors. This guy will pay for the murder of a woman
