"But even if it wasn't justified, that in no way justifies shutting down ICE and the enforcement of our immigration laws. Furthermore, rioting or defending rioting in support of this is a disgrace and damnable foolishness. It's also hypocritical when done by people who condemned the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. Rioting is never justifiable. As with the killing of George Floyd, the one who killed the woman will be duly prosecuted if the evidence suggests guilt."
"This good fortune is especially appreciated when we read in the East Bay Times how ICE agents use lethal force against unarmed civilians. The recent case in Minneapolis is incredibly disturbing. I saw several videos where two ICE agents, without provocation, shot the driver to death. Clearly, ICE agents are badly managed, poorly trained and unaccountable to the public. Either that, or they have been trained to shoot first and ask questions later."
The killing of a woman by an ICE agent raises questions about justified use of force, but does not justify shutting down ICE or halting immigration enforcement. Rioting or defending rioting in response to the shooting is described as disgraceful, hypocritical for some protesters, and never justifiable. Legal prosecution should follow if evidence indicates guilt. ICE must be permitted to deport convicted criminal aliens and those with clear gang or terrorist associations, and states or localities should not impede federal enforcement. Incidents of ICE shootings underscore concerns about ICE training and accountability and increase appreciation for professional local police.
