Please stop repeating that bullshit. " She was actually interfering with law enforcement "

ICE has no law enforcement powers, other than enforcing JUDICIAL warrants related to immigration, and those warrants name specific people. ICE has no arrest powers for things that are not part of the warrants they are enforcing. They are not police. They cannot stop a person for a traffic violation, a parking violation, a bank robbery, a bicycle theft, a domestic dispute, a bar fight, a pickpocket, or anything else not specifically related to the judicial warrants they have in their hands. They have absolutely no enforcement power for any state or local laws. And they have no right to use force except in the case of enforcing a specific warrant.

"Law enforcement" officials have arrest powers for any local, state or federal law. Not ICE.

Highlight:

New angle shows Good blocking the street and honking before the shooting. [View all] mikelewis Jan 10 OP

She was murdered in cold blood. Not arrested and given her day in court. Irish_Dem Jan 10 #1

If Good was not named in a juducual warrant, then ICE has no power of arrest Bluetus Jan 11 #119

So they had to kill her because they couldn't arrest her. Irish_Dem Jan 11 #122

Well, in the mind of the shooter, I guess that's about right. Bluetus Jan 11 #132

He was clearly furious with her. Because he couldn't terrorize her or arrest her. Irish_Dem Jan 11 #133

He has a history of violence behind the badge Bluetus Jan 11 #134

"She was actually interfering with law enforcement and could have been arrested. Sorry, that's the reality." sop Jan 10 #4

I've no idea... the charge I would have slapped on her would have been impeding law enforcement... mikelewis Jan 10 #9

Huh? Cirsium Jan 10 #16

Impeding what laws from being enforced? sop Jan 10 #25

You mean have the police write her a ticket NJCher Jan 11 #128

No law enforcement was happening, she was trying to follow orders, and any of the things you describe in your OP WhiskeyGrinder Jan 10 #21

She was blocking traffic and laying on the horn... mikelewis Jan 10 #23

"This proves she was murdered by ICE." What does? Ross being frustrated? Plenty of jurors would find that justifiable. WhiskeyGrinder Jan 10 #37

Like it's ever going to a jury... no, I wanted to know... mikelewis Jan 10 #42

This video canetoad Jan 10 #45

It's hard to tell at least on a phone (mine) vs a ? tablet or especially a computer, but the horn sound was not.... electric_blue68 Jan 10 #71

What are your motives? MorbidButterflyTat Jan 11 #94

Sure, she was engaging in peaceful civil disobedience EarlG Jan 10 #30

I agree... but I think this video proves the ICE agent acted out of anger... not duty. mikelewis Jan 10 #33

I think they're pissed off because you said that she was interfering with law enforcement EarlG Jan 10 #46

TY.. That was cruel.. ".. she showed her ass.. " Cha Jan 10 #53

Correct... she lived on the street. Any real police would have just tacked on another charge... mikelewis Jan 10 #43

Has ICE in the current crackdown ever "followed up" with an impeding arrest? Prairie Gates Jan 10 #56

She was not a suspect and she would not be evading arrest MorbidButterflyTat Jan 11 #95

Whatever R0ckyRac00n Jan 10 #41

They fucking terrorized her... LuckyCharms Jan 10 #48

ICE had no legal authority to tell a US citizen to get out of the vehicle and they are also not traffic cops lostnfound Jan 10 #50
