Woman shot and killed by ICE in Minnesota- potential legal action and outcome of investigation.

👍

Thanks Lemonjam. Will follow this Thread.

Thank you. I'd so appreciate it if those GN's able to follow matters more closely than I can atm, keep us informed not just of the particular situation but the struggle against the excesses of ICE in general too.

We may not hear much more imminently re investigation and potential legal action- but the immediate impact and repercussions are ongoing.....

Imaround, has provided us with some great links from US more trusted media sites to keep us informed, plus for example the court injection document- so I hope she sees this post.

A five year old boy has been apprehended and sent to a detention centre.

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone”

Did the mega funding go through for Ice, or did they manage to block it?

If this was a report from a rogue nation with an uncaring regime in charge you could understand it.
Is this what the US wants to transmit to the rest of the world.

This is shocking.

A 17 year old taken without parental consent.
A ten year old taken with her mother on her way to school.

I wonder what A Letter from America would be like today?

Thank you for starting this. I think it is important to watch this for several reasons.

This is a direct violation of the 4th Amendment. They can not enter a home without a judicial warrant, which they do not have.

You are so right. Have been watching a true crimes series based in Colorado Springs, which shows that you cannot enter and search a property or vehicle without a judicial warrant given only when enough evidence making the warrant necessary is provided.

As you say is this what the USA has become?

Telling isn’t it?

It is an extract from Anne Frank’s diary.

Well chosen Whitewavemark2, I really thought it was about ICE based upon recent reports.

Bruce Springsteen has a message for President Trump and ICE at the Light of Day concert in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Great vid. Glad those who have a voice can use it to oppose what is happening in the US. Certainly ordinary citizens seem to have their voices silenced by force.

I love that show Fallingstar.

‘Well my, my, my.’
Am an addict to Lt Joe Kenda, have watched all his Colorado Springs series and am now watching American Detectives.
He is also a dead ringer for my DH.

Oh, I love Joe Kendra, too !

No: I think these sorts of "social intervention" all count tho, reaching different people.

What I have also noticed is the lack of diversity in Trumps administration and appointments (exception being Carson) and I wonder long term how this will play out. I don't think the powerful black lobby, other minority groups, Native Americans, will walk away from having a voice (voices) forever.

I haven't petra. That was accurate and hilarious!
