ICE Shot a 21-Year-Old in the Face and Blinded Him

Posted on by Lone Candle

ICE repeatedly exercises a gratuitous use of force.

Multiple ICE agents have threatened protestors by referring to the killing of Renee Good. These are threats to kill people by law enforcement, often for simply being annoying. The implications are more aggressive than simply, ‘hey, if you protest or/and don’t listen to my orders, we may possibly get into the situation where I have to kill you to defend myself.’ The implications are, ‘Keep annoying me or disobeying me, and I’ll fucking kill you like we did that woman.’

ICE’s Violent Terror Campaign Is Worse Than You Thought…

Posted on by Lone Candle

Reportedly: ICE Agent: “You guys got to stop obstructing us. That’s why that lesbian bitch is dead.”

That ICE agent seems ready to use deadly force in more than a strict self-defense situation.

A border control agent reportedly said that he and his comrades thought the protesters were crazy. It’s easier to use force against someone who you perceive as crazy.

Last year, more people died in ICE detention than any previous year.

Citizens are being detained because they seem illegal to ICE and Border Patrol. Native Americans are being detained because ICE thought they were illegal foreigners. According to a Native American woman, an ICE agent told her “we’re coming for you” for no reason. She said that she was Native American, and he said, “yeah, you’re next.” That doesn’t sound like someone professionally enforcing the law.

ICE Shot And Killed Her

Posted on by Lone Candle

Legal expert breaks down ICE agent shooting in Minnesota. The ICE agent acted irresponsibly at multiple moments and even shot at her as the car was moving away from him. But, law enforcement have a lot of grace for use of force. It’s not clear if Minnesota could prosecute him because he is a federal officer and the federal government is not sharing evidence with the locals.

‘A Breaking Point’: The Minneapolis Police Chief on ICE

Posted on by Lone Candle

The Minneapolis police chief said that ICE’s irresponsible behavior is creating great strain on the city’s police force. So is people’s aggressive antagonization and anger at ICE.

Viewing the incident where the ICE officer killed a woman, the chief said ICE officers appeared to create a situation that was dangerous and acted against good policing.

He made tough progress to rebuild the Minneapolis police department after the George Floyd protests, and he fears that ICE tactics are going to create a huge setback.

Can ICE agents detain U.S. citizens? What powers do they have to arrest people? Your most common questions answered.

Posted on by Lone Candle

“As members of federal law enforcement, ICE officers have the authority to stop, detain and arrest people they believe to be in the country illegally. They need a warrant to arrest someone inside a private home or business. In public spaces, they can make arrests without a warrant, but they must have cause or reasonable suspicion to believe that the person is violating immigration laws.

…

“By the letter of the law, ICE only has the authority to detain, arrest or deport people who are believed to be in the country illegally.

In practice, however, there are many accounts of American citizens being caught up in the administration’s raids. The news site ProPublica identified upward of 170 incidents where citizens were held by immigration authorities, including some who were detained even after showing a legal government ID.

ICE can detain citizens if they allegedly commit a crime, such as interfering with an immigration operation or assaulting officers. ProPublica’s list includes 130 people who were held for alleged infractions, though those cases “often wilted under scrutiny” and very few resulted in convictions.

…

ICE reported that it had conducted 622,000 deportations since the start of Trump’s second term on Jan. 20, 2025. While that’s well short of the goal of 1 million annual deportations the administration had set for itself, it’s still enough to shatter the previous annual record of 316,000 set during Barack Obama’s presidency.”

The Trump Administration Says It’s Illegal To Record Videos of ICE. Here’s What the Law Says.

Posted on by Lone Candle

“It’s not hard to find examples of this rotten agency culture in practice. In late October 2025, ICE officers broke out the window of a U.S. citizen’s car and detained her for seven hours after she followed and photographed their unmarked vehicles. DHS accused her of reckless driving, attempting to block in officers with her car, and resisting arrest—all claims that she and her lawyer deny. Prosecutors did not charge the woman with a crime.

Recording government agents is one of the few tools citizens have to hold state power accountable. Any attempt to redefine observation as “violence” is not only unconstitutional—it’s authoritarian gaslighting. When a government fears cameras more than crimes, it isn’t protecting the rule of law. It’s protecting itself.”

Video of the Minneapolis ICE Shooting Does Not Resolve the Issue of Whether It Was Legally Justified

Posted on by Lone Candle

Legally…”Under the Supreme Court’s Fourth Amendment precedents, the crucial question is not whether Good was actually trying to run Ross down but whether his avowed belief that she posed a threat to him was “objectively reasonable” given “the totality of the circumstances.”

The 1985 case Tennessee v. Garner involved a suspected burglar who was shot while fleeing police. The Supreme Court held that the use of deadly force is unconstitutional in such circumstances “unless it is necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.”

To assess whether a use of force is “objectively reasonable” under the Fourth Amendment, the Court explained four years later in Graham v. Connor, judges should consider “the totality of the circumstances,” paying “careful attention to the facts and circumstances of each particular case.” The Court said relevant factors include “the severity of the crime at issue, whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others, and whether he is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight.”

…

The Justice Department’s policy on the use of force jibes with what the Supreme Court has said. “Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect,” it notes, and “firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles.”

The Justice Department explains that “firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.” The circumstances of the Minneapolis shooting suggest that Ross may have violated that policy.”

Foreign Actors Turned a Tragedy Into an Information Weapon

Posted on by Lone Candle

A lot of internet posts and comments about the ICE shooting are bots or foreign trolls trying to weaken America by riling up its people. Social media companies make money when these bots, trolls, and foreign adversaries are successful.
