Wrong. they were protesting the tactics that changed under Bovino/Noem/Trump. This wasn't an issue under Biden. ICE are the ones who excalate, because they are not trained in the tactics they are trying to employ.


Try going back farther…this wasn’t an issue under Trump’s first term. And, MAGA was happy about immigration then. So, it’s repugnant to say that he has to authorize this now. Detaining and murdering Americans sing the way. Maybe the should go to the Texas border?!?!

“Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

5. Impeach Noem and Bondi.

6. End the Kavanaugh stops with racial profiling and end the militarization of ICE.

7. Codify a use of force standard so courts can enforce the law against rogue ICE agents.“

AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for its stated mission, but rather, it’s a way to extort.

Is what these people are doing constitutionally protected protest? They are actively attempting to impede and obstruct federal law enforcement activities. That’s not a constitutionally protected right. IMO, the two deaths we have seen are a tragic consequence of a party telling their supporters to interject themselves into dangerous federal law enforcement operations. It’s not a safe environment for anyone.


Funny how you only question the legality of the protests and not the actions of masked thugs. Total logic fail, you gross traitor. If everyday men hadn’t thrown tea into a harbor, America would have a very different history. Read a goddamn history book.


There “protestors” are rioting because they want open borders and the abolishment of immigration laws. We all saw what their preferred policies bring to the country during the four years of Biden’s regime. No thank you!


Nope, not at all. People have no problem with legal deportations. Obama and Biden deported millions of people without these issues on our streets. Please stop gaslighting about what Fox is telling you. It isn't the truth. Fox paid a billion dollars out of court for lying to you. Stop listening to them.


That’s because the States cooperated with them, what’s changed?


ICE tactics changed. They became more brutal and started overreaching their authority, and have not been held accountable for improper actions. They are acting like they have complete immunity and authority to do whatever they feel like doing. They are violating people's civil rights and not being called out on it, disciplined, and even fired.

That's what's changed. That's what the protesting is about.

Who put you in charge of what people can and can’t protest?


That's not what PP is saying. What has happened has made this situation something much more than a protest about immigration. This is about an out of control paramilitary force that is routinely, casually, and intentionally violating the Constitution, executing peaceful citizens, and pissing on 250 years of American history and belief.

+1 Read the statement on this incident from the libertarian party. It reads in part: “What we are seeing in the United States is the rise in the warrior cop. Masked federal agents, donning multicam and plate carriers, injected into civilian life with a GWOT mentality. This is no routine law enforcement. This is occupation-style policing.”

PP said it is not worth protesting lawful immigration enforcement. People can protest lawful government actions if they want to. Protest isn’t limited to illegal government actions.

the tactics employed under trump is what has changed. Their legal mission is the same, but the way they are executing, in part because of the massively lower hiring and training standards has altered the landscape.

The rioters escalate by insulting and obstructing our federal law enforcement agents. The rioters interfere with the performance of their jobs.

The only tactic that changed from Biden to Trump is that ICE agents are now enforcing federal immigration laws instead of nullifying it. ICE agents didn’t arrest anyone during Biden’s open borders disaster. Biden wasn’t interested in immigration enforcement, just ushering millions of illegal immigrants into the country and giving them taxpayer funded benefits.


ICE most certainly apprehended and deported millions of people under Biden. And they did it without acting like a gestapo. It was a mere couple of years ago that this was happening. I am old enough to remember it and live through it. What has changed is the composition and mission under Trump/Vance/Noem and Bovino. And...speaking of Bovino, isn't it curious that these things are only happening when he is around? He is like Andy Ngo from the first Trump term...always happens to be where riots and murder happen.

Masked men are shooting Americans and are subjected to no accountability. We've now entered a world where the government can just kill an American, immediately put out lying statements, and walk away after "investigating" themselves. How could anybody be okay with this slippery slope? THIS is what tyranny actually looks like.

You could always pack up and leave to make space for the decent people arriving as immigrants.

You just spew easily refutable lies constantly. No one was deported under Biden? That's just powerfully dumb.

He has been doing this 8 years and presumably hasn't killed someone in cold blood before, at least in public. Not a new recruit with no training. So what was he thinking? I am not trying to justify anything. Just purely curious.

Also, other than trying to block the appropriation bills, which doesn't sound like it would do much anyways, what else can democrats do?

And can Minneapolis bring charges against this guy (and the last guy?). I know feds are not cooperating but can they legally prosecute? It seems in this case, there is plenty of evidence to convict.


When the deceased man was struggling with federal agents, one of the agents saw his gun and yelled “gun”. I believe one of the agents removed the deceased man’s gun during the struggle, but not all of the agents knew that. When the agents are searching the man’s body after he passed, one of them is heard asking “where’s the gun?”

These are trying to do a dangerous job and have protestors/rioters constantly in their faces. They were faced with a man resisting arrest who possessed a gun. I believe that was their mindset.


It’s not a dangerous job.


Says the person typing whatever from a warm home and a cup of java.


It’s a needlessly dangerous job being done voluntarily by the otherwise unemployable dregs of society, and all for the purposes of evil.


A bubble thread of comments by posters who frequently disparage the intelligence of any type of LEO and basically don't believe in law enforcement and would never encourage their kids to become a policeperson or any other type of LEO.


The newly hired ICE agents are not trained LEO, particularly local police forces. YOU are the one trying to tie them together. Most of us understand the difference. Just stop.


I've been on DCUM for over 10 years. The disparagement of LEOs before the current ICE agents' actions is not a new thing here. .


to be fair, there have been a rash of actual trained LEO who acted badly - shooting people in the back, shooting innocent civilians in their apartments, kneeing someone to death in the street - to receive some of the criticism. Maybe of the police unions did a better job of rooting out the bad apples, your grievance wouldn't be necessary.

They are protesting because of the killing of their fellow citizens by a fascistic government. Wake up.
