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.

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

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?

“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”

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.

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

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.

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.

Rennee Good's family lawyers have now released the results of an independent autopsy, showing three gunshot wounds. She was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said at the time the agent opened fire after Good tried to ram officers with her vehicle.

The DHS has not yet published the outcome of its investigation. We await details of what legal action Good's family lawyers may take against DHS. This thread has been started as the previous thread comes towards its 1000 post end to discuss the aftermath, impact and repercussions.
