That doesn’t explain the locals ignoring an ICE request for an illegal alien that is in jail or prison. Heck, it might help with local criminal control if that type of person is turned over to ICE in a regulated fashion rather than making ICE search for them and possibly getting others in their net. The entire “sanctuary” city/state playbook is purely political and causes more harm than good.
-
Like I mentioned earlier, why are the leftist activists even protesting ICE? Are they enforcing laws they made up? The protests belong with members of Congress to change any laws people feel are unjust. Of course this has to be political and in this case one person is gone, and the other faces a major upheaval.
-
What really makes this tragedy even more sad is when politicians on both sides (Noem is terrible when flying off the cuff, Trump is too early in his assessment, and Walz and Frey are just trying to whip up more dissent) jump to conclusions before the investigation has been concluded. I am fine with the DOJ/FBI doing it as there are enough decent field agents that will not make this political, so like you, I have also cautioned waiting for the investigation to conclude.

A great example of LE reforms happened a few years ago not far from where I live. A low speed chase resulted in an officer/deputy being killed by a driver when the officer was requested to lay out spike strips to take out the tires of the fleeing suspect. The officer was clear of the general area (in a field off the side of the road), but apparently the driver saw the strips and veered toward the officer to avoid them, hitting and killing the officer. Now the LE agency does not use spike strips anymore except under special circumstances.

I would like to see more angles than the screenshot you shared, but in the end it doesn’t really matter what either you or I think, the investigation will pan out and make that decision. I do feel this may end up bad for the agent considering the political bias in Minnesota, but again, it really doesn’t matter. By the way, shooting at the tires or the engine block only works in the movies, if the vehicle (weapon) is coming at you those types of shots will only get you killed.

1. Keeping the passports is more positive than negative. Frequent updates are hard to say given we just went through the holiday season, but hopefully "Issued" will come along soon. 2. Not been through this, but have seen enough stories of folks going through AP/Refused. Easy answer is no one can answer how long it will take as each case is handled individually. 3. No experience here so I will not add an opinion. 4. I would keep waiting for now as it has not been a month since your interview. Good Luck!

Is there anything non-partisan anymore in any government or government agency? Yes, Noem was wrong, but I noticed you did not call out Walz or Frey for that rapid conclusion of the events. I can give Walz a pass as he wants anything to get the spotlight off his enabling the massive fraud in his state, but Frey should know better just as Noem should, or any other right leaning elected official related to jumping to conclusions. I am curious as to why you did not answer my other questions? Why are these leftist activists focusing their protests on ICE agents rather than the folks that actually make the laws?
-
Yep, let the investigation play out, and if a bad shoot, that agent should face the consequences, but I am glad to see your mind is made up. If the investigation does conclude it was justified, will you accept that? I am not sure what Party you are referring to as I do not belong to a Party. Used to be a Democrat (long time ago), but their headlong drive to socialism turned me off them. I am curious as to why these extreme left activists are tracking, following and harassing ICE agents? Are the ICE agents enforcing laws not on the books? Shouldn’t these activists be protesting the actual lawmakers?
-
Feel free to add your take in the debate, just bring the receipts. An investigation will determine if this was justified or not and investigations take time. I know, Jacob Frey has already made up his mind, but from the videos I have seen, this appears justified, still it is too early to make that full conclusion. What may conclude at least politically, is this is what the Left wants by their bombastic and detrimental rhetoric, and their constant need to portray lawlessness and the folks that support that as victims. Heck, look at the judge that just resigned in WI, according to her, it was everyone else's fault she had to resign except her's. She was convicted of a felony and WI state law prohibits anyone convicted of a felony from serving as a judge. Is a vehicle not a potential weapon? I am not sure what you are talking about being hit again. Are you saying law enforcement agencies do not train to protect themselves along with the public when being attacked? What if the ICE agent had found a way to get out of the path of the vehicle and she had struck and killed someone else? I suspect you might be saying something different, or maybe the agent should have just let her run over him, you know "progress".

The ROK is not a success? Have you read the history of how rural the South was at the end of WWII? The DPRK was the more advanced area economically and industrially at that point, and look what it is today (I guess socialism was not done right there). Yes, the Korean Peninsula is only at a state of armistice, but I would say 70+ years of that is fairly stable against they paper tiger that is the DPRK. Also, we have to contend with China and their desire to maintain the DPRK as a buffer. I have been there many times in the last 20 years, and even at times of heightened tensions, I will definitely take the ROK over the DPRK. As to Venezuela, as I said before give it some time rather than making conclusions in less than a week. I will allow Rubio to do his work before I make any judgements

So Maduro was a legitimate head of state? As to Putin, Belova or Netanyahu, that is up to the ICC and their enforcement arm. Last I remember, the US does not do enforcement for the ICC, maybe the Europeans can do it. Maduro's indictment was a US criminal case and had nothing to do with the ICC. I would rather wait and see what happens over time rather than jump to conclusions after only a few days. I heard the leftist pundit Jake Tapper calling for immediate elections, that is simply reckless given that this was not regime change, so time will tell. Btw, I want to revisit the whole country building history discussion. The US does have a few successes when the bureaucrats are not allowed to muck things up. I would cite the ROK, Japan, and Germany as being successes. The ROK especially given where they were at after the Korean War. Of course that is another great example of socialism not working just like Venezuela.

No Kings! Except for all those British and European royalty (even Prince Harry and his ugly wife) as long as they toe the Leftist/"progressive" mantra! -

How To Commit Democratic Party Suicide

Posting this here as it seems to be the Democrats (“progressives”) that don’t want to address the elephant in the room. -
Renouncing Indian citizenship - troubles with middle name
Dashinka replied to anotherimmigrant's topic in India
Moved to the India Regional Forum as this appears to be country specific. -
I am still trying to find out how this is an "act of war" as many on the left are calling it. Seems like it was more of a fugitive apprehension. Regardless, yes, the US does not have a good track record when it comes to nation building (look how the Orange revolution turned out in Ukraine) , so hopefully the bureaucrats do not get too involved, but it will be tough sledding. Regardless, peace through strength appears to be a better position than appeasement. I am curious though, why do leftist ideologies (communists, socialists, etc.) always insist on preserving the remains of their corrupt leaders?

Is this a surprise? I suspect his campaign funds took a hit.
