Yesterday there was a very tragic shooting of a woman leaving the scene of an Immigration raid/incident . The video clips are very disturbing as she is shot and killed by an officer after she was given conflicting information by two officers . One who told her to leave and another who told her to get out of the car.
She was killed by a third officer who was to the side of the car . I can only advise you not to watch the clip if you feel it might be disturbing . I was able to read a good account of it in the NYT and it definitely looks and reads like she was murdered.
She was a white, US citizen not a target of the raid.
I truly feel like the USA is imploding from the inside out and that Trump is creating fires of danger everywhere.

A judge has issued a temporary restraining order against ICE in Minnesota. They are not allowed to interfere or arrest peaceful protesters.
This is the actual court document.

Yes I saw that. I am surprised that they can interfere with any citizen, other than illegals immigrants.

Here is what I have found.
"Menendez’s order bars Homeland Security and ICE officials involved in Operation Metro Surge from “using pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools against persons who are engaging in peaceful and unobstructive protest activity.” The judge also prohibited federal agents from stopping vehicles following them, as long as those vehicles are maintaining a safe and “appropriate” distance.

Well now, If the protesters stay peaceful and unobstructive, there should be no more problems. Key word IF..

I am not sure yet David. I honestly haven't had time to research it yet. We will see.
IMO, the bigger problem is who will enforce it?

Then you have to decide what is peaceful, in the tradgedy that happened it has been claimed that the woman attacked the officer with her car. Certainly objects have been thrown at ICE, that can be interpreted as attacking.
Does this ruling change anything??

Key Actions & Legislation During Trump's First Term:
DACA Rescission Attempt (2017): Trump announced plans to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, a move that faced legal challenges and was ultimately blocked by courts, forcing Congress to act.
Trump's Offer (2018-2019): Trump proposed a deal that would grant citizenship to some undocumented immigrants, including Dreamers, in exchange for significant border security funding and changes to legal immigration, like ending family-based migration (chain migration) and the visa lottery.
American Dream and Promise Act (2019): House Democrats passed this bill, providing a pathway to legal status for Dreamers and others, but it faced Republican opposition and did not pass the Senate.
DREAM Act & Other Bills:
Various versions of the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act) were proposed in Congress but failed to pass into law during this period
oh yes, I forgot that they were not going to, I remember their pushback, but public outcry lead to them doing so "in defiance" of Trump, so to speak.

Actually a court can, in fact, override federal officers. That is what courts are for. There are federal judges in Minnesota too.
I posted those links for others who are still making opinions. Yours is already apparent. I have absolutely no desire to converse with you further. Have a nice day.
Yet he wasn't a federal judge.
Opinions do not matter. The law does. But no matter, it's a done deal and that is that, and really isn't relevant to the current situation or going to change it. So, have a nice day too.

Suffice to say, entering the country illegally has it's risks. Nobody from another country is guaranted the right to become a citizen or stay in the country just because they want to or think they are entitled to.
I recall too, during Trumps first term, he was ready and willing to continue what we called the Dreamers bill, to allow a special citizenship track for those who were just children when their parents decided to bring them in illegally.
I personally was all for that, they were innocent. But Congress at the time (majority Democrat) didn't want to abide by the one condition, which was more money allocated to continue to secure the border.
I'll never forget my disappointment with the party I then supported for putting their politics before those kids.....
That was one of the last straws for me, among many other straws....
I mean, sometimes there is a way to reverse it through a process but the process may have not been done correctly. This article gives no details of the process she went through other than the initial deportation orders and the later appeal that was denied.
I would think if the state judge order stood, her appeal would not have been denied. So, somethings not right.

There was a court order to not remove her. Before she was moved to Texas.
Clearly the state judge could not override an order for deportation.

See, here is the real problem we are facing, and what ICE is trying to get rid of, if people would just let them.

That is sad, doubtful that girl would have been any problem to stay here, but, as the article first states: "Lopez Belloza and her mother were ordered deported several years after arriving in the United States."
So they entered illegally and were ordered to leave. They ignored that order, ignored the law twice then.
I mean, ok, she's not a gang member or anything. But why would she be allowed to ignore a court judgement yet others have to abide by the laws of the country everyday?
Her appeal was denied in 2017 so not sure how this is relevant to what is happening today in the raids.

Did anyone see the video of the Florida Police Chief's warnings to protestors???? That dude isn't messing around.
He should stick to eating pies. 🤬 He’s obviously had a lot of practice.
Fat shaming? Ooh that's in bad taste.

Well I saw a report that the states that are having their police force backing up ICE are simply not having all these problems Minneapolis is. Perhaps the leaders should be blamed for all this as well.
Perhaps the police are keeping ICE in line?
I doubt that. Federal has jurisdiction over State.
But, with police dealing with the protesters, ICE doesn't have to, can do their job and get out of there quickly vs. fighting off screaming crowds throwing things, getting in their way (obstruction) and attacking them with shovels.
I have seen local leaders in those states saying they were supporting ICE, not the opposite.
