DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different.

Border patrol agent shot this woman. Not ICE. I'm not against abolishing ICE but don't let CBP get away with this.
Abolish DHS, CBP, ICE, all of it.
AKA, end the Patriot Act
I wonder how many gen x voters you could pull with a "Make America great again ... like it was in the 1990s!" bit
That's how I lure people into Linux!
"Remember when you turned on your computer and you didn't immediately get ads? It's like the 90's!"
I am actually GenX
But... What if like a dozen guys show up to attack us with box cutters again?
CBP does have legit purposes. I do enjoy having fentanyl laced imposter medicine blocked as much as possible from entering the country. I also enjoy not having invasive pests blocked from entering the country.k
There is no reason CBP should be the ones to do this, it was created by Bush after 9/11, we didn't need it, it's very existence was on the wish list of the fascists that used 9/11 as an excuse to do all of those things, the Patriot Act was submitted like a week or two after the event, it's over a thousand pages each referencing other laws it amends, it was already written. It was the wish list, and CBP was on that wish list.
Everytime there's video it shows they lied. Every. Time.
Well I'm sure someone with a spine will be along very soon to bring the orange kiddie fiddler and the other goons to justice. Any minute now...
Now imagine how much of that happened when they were free to kill people abroad. USA has been a lying terrorist state for a long time.
remember that article where the ATF defines a 14 inch length of bootlace with a loop in it as an automatic firearm? i used to know the dude who wrote that. he's a really funny guy. he was not trying to be funny, he was just trying to describe something he saw in government language and, well, one thing led to another.
Like in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, DHS might have gotten away with its false claims about Martinez were it not for the video evidence that contradicted its account.
Unless they are suffering (capital) punishment, they continue to get away with it.
If there are no consequences for perjury and obstruction, courts need to expect this behavior. They're also systematically ignoring federal court orders. This is a hostile regime and judges need to start treating it as such.
What are the judges going to do? The scotus will cancel anything, and if not, the president will. The judges should still hold them in contempt, but it won't change anything.
Scotus really fucked us all when they disallowed nationwide injunctions from judges. That was a huge decision, that will allow the administration to mass round up citizens without habeous corpus and throw into camps/disappear them, with no way to stop them, and no way to get your day in court at all if they want let alone before irreperable harm is done.
Scotus thinks the republic is dead.
DHS might have gotten away
Well, their agents did get away with Assault With A Deadly Weapon (maybe even Attempted Murder) and Prejury, same as the ones who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti are getting away with Murder.
Until the people involved stop getting away with it, they and their ilk will just keep on doing it.
Sue and demand Kristi Noem's firing for misconduct for intentionally lying about this case.
Sue
Yeah.....even if you prevail in the circuit court, it's getting overturned at SCOTUS.
You cant even bring a lawsuit against the federal government unless the federal government gives you permission to do so.
Yup, Sovereign Immunity. It's not just a US thing; it's part of English common law.
I enjoy watching Circus. I don't enjoy watching this.
The newly released evidence is also part of a pattern. It is one of many examples of DHS immigration agents lying and providing false information to justify shootings and other uses of excessive force against US citizens and immigrants. These claims have collapsed again and again once DHS is forced to defend them in court.
They are also part of another very disturbing pattern - in this case, Pretti, and Good's there was a) evidence that the ICE/CBP agents recognized their victims as legal observers, b) evidence before and after the fact that the ICE/CBP agents were pissed off at these legal observers for doing that legally protected thing, c) no evidence that the agents had any reason to fear for their lives
They got pissed at people questioning their authority and killed (or attempted to kill) them for it. That behavior absolutely must be publicly condemned and punished and an example needs to be made of all the agents who demonstrated it. We are not a free country in any meaningful sense until that happens.
It's fascism, plain and simple. It's not even hidden anymore.
Its why they are arresting so many people for videoing them. They are trying to scare people into ignoring their crimes.
THIS IS WHAT DHS WAS DESIGNED TO BE.
If you are in political conversations with people who are perhaps not as engaged as the people on this platform seem to be, ask them why a totally redundant agency with jurisdiction and authority that ALREADY EXISTED via FBI, CBP, Coast Guard, etc…Why was this created?
It was created to put down dissent. Not just violent dissent. Soon they will be kicking down the doors of protest and labor organizers as well as transparency activists and journalists. This bullshit with tepid, milquetoast, lame ass Don Lemon is just the beginning.
Soon they will be treating ALL dissent exactly the same way Russia does. That’s what the fucking camps are for.
i mean i understand the bullshit they sold it to us with. the whole "interagency fighting prevents the security apparatus from preventing 9/11s AND YOU WANT TO PREVENT 9/11S RIGHT". only they implemented it with another agency. and more interagency fighting. (please don't post the xkcd usb comic we all get it). it almost seems like they could have just, i don't know, made them all share a database.
sometimes interagency noncooperation is a good thing, too. when the agents recognize they;re stepping on your rights and pull back okay i realize that never happens but it could okay
What I keep seeing is that compliance gets you killed.
Showing something much different like her driving past them hitting her from side behind themselves and jumping out and shooting her from behind. Its so gangland its beyond belief. Clear traffic. No being "boxed in" although you hear the guy claim in on the cb while you clearly are seeing that is not the case.
I guarantee you the agent will wave reprimanded, not for conducting illegal terrorist acts against humans, but because he didn’t finish the job and kill her.
If the USA returns to normal, shut down DHS.
Historical lesson from first hand experience. There is no return to normal. Political history has no undo button. The social and psychological changes that created and have been caused by this administration are permanent. The USA will never be the same.
Dealing with it in a "go back" POV is a losing strategy. It disconnects from reality. Instead go for a forward thinking approach, face the conflict and reality head on or you will be forever at the mercy of the dictator.
I partially disagree and two examples exist. Germany and Japan. However, both countries were destroyed and millions of people died because of a bunch fucking lunatics.
I wouldn't say that neither Germany nor Japan had a normal that they went back to after WWII. Both countries are politically, demographically and culturally very different today from their pre war selves.
Has anyone found the full videos? Allegedly there are 3 10-20 body cam footage videos as well as other documents. While theseblityle highlights are great, it sure would be nice to review in full ourselves.
