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.

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

They zip tied naked children and arrested an entire building of US citizens so they could post this video to impress unfuckable 65 year old MAGA pigs with heart disease.

[Drew Comments @sjs856]

No arrests. No evidence of wrongdoing. No due process. This is murder.

[Patrick Wyman @Patrick_Wyman]

At some point you just have to assume that he’s an actively evil person, right? This was a massacre of mostly women and children, largely unarmed, one of the most shameful events in a period of American history that was full of shameful events. You can’t defend it.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

This is vile and beyond cruel. Abolish ICE.

“Ban all Jews from serving in the US Congress”

Can you imagine anyone in public life saying this? Can you imagine a top ally of the president saying this? It would be on all our news channels and front pages 24/7. But have normalized the most vicious and blatant Islamophobia.

You can’t claim to hate political violence and simultaneously cheer on masked Federal agents body slamming candidates For Congress. Pick a side @LauraLoomer
