A Deeply Fractured US

Yeah...

Take a shot of any Canadian military member in a gabardine and you have the same comparison.

ICE has it's issues, but it's green and very American uniform isn't one of them.

Not if they are wearing a kilt.

Just updating, not condemning or agreeing.

Jonathan Ross, who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis last week, suffered internal bleeding after the incident, two officials said, though it's not clear how extensive the bleeding was.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.

It was unclear how extensive the bleeding was. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Ross' injury, but has not yet responded to CBS News' requests for more information. This story will be updated as we learn more.

Videos from the scene showed Ross walking away after the incident.

Ross has not returned to work, one source said, but did not say why.

Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, previously acknowledged that Ross was taken to the hospital after the shooting and was released the same day. She said he was recovering from his injuries, describing him as an experienced law enforcement officer who believed he was defending himself and fellow agents.

"The officer was hit by the vehicle. She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released," Noem told reporters on Jan. 7.

Ross, a 10-year law enforcement veteran with ICE, was seriously injured in June in a separate incident in the Minneapolis area when he was dragged by a car during an attempted arrest, requiring 33 stitches and hospital care, court records show.

U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino told CBS News in an interview Sunday that Ross "has had several threats against his life," adding, "he's in a safe location. He's recovering from those injuries, and we're thankful that he's recovering."

I mean regardless of his conduct in the shooting or if he is facing an investigation or not, it would be incredibly irresponsible to put him back on the street in Minnesota given potential threats to his safety.

If, in fact, he was being attacked with a weapon, likely a fair shoot. Unfortunately nothing DHS says at this point can be taken at face value, which is shitty and unfair to any officers who actually may be involved in hazardous situations as described.

As described it sounds like only one officer was on scene at the time of the alleged altercation? But earlier in the narrative it sounds like multiple. It's confusing.

Reading local accounts it sounds like a neighbour with his car full of kids got caught in 'crossfire' and were tear gassed, with medical attention required... No bueno.

Also sounds like an ICE car got ripped to shit by protesters, and various documentation found and pillaged including some identifying information for officers and their hotel accommodations. Basically sounds like an absolute gong show.

ICE/CBP are going to increasingly find that any time they're in small groups they need to REALLY pick their battles. The community has no time for them anymore whatsoever.

His mandate includes mass deportation.

Mass deportation cannot be done by following all the time-consuming expensive processes designed, in part, to make it time-consuming and expensive.

I've written before about the imbalance between what it takes to allow mass illegal immigration (essentially: do nothing to prevent it), and what it takes to undo it. Something had to give. Ideological foes have chosen to fight every battle, to nullify federal law in the states and cities they mostly control, and to go to the mattresses to protect the most unsympathetic (violent, criminal) people illegally in the country. No compromises offered; result: challenge accepted. The status quo of "we can let in 2 million people a year when we have the presidency, and you can only deport a few tens of thousands if you stick to the system during your turn", is untenable.

Yes it can, all it takes is one law and they shall deport themselves voluntarily.

Make it illegal to employ illegal immigrants. Any American found doing so is liable to 5 years in prison (a fine doesn’t dissuade the rich enough).

Poof, the vast majority will leave as with no work there is no way to sustain themselves. No way to sustain themselves means life isn’t better for them in America and as such they won’t migrate there.

The whole reason this problem exists is because Americans love cheap illegal labour. Punish those creating the incentive and the incentive disappears.
