Never ever try to use Loomers posts or quotes to try and defend your point of view or position because as usual Laura Loomer gets it wrong or flat out lies.

My point of view?

I was replying to this,

I note the differences in reaction.

Babbit: FAFO
Trump: too bad he missed
Kirk: deserved it
Pretti: Trumps thugs!

All of these are unnecessary and tragic. There are dark forces at play to sow division and degrade the west.

Funny you should mention that

Anyhow .....

The irony may not burn, but it seems to sting just a bit.

Trump administration goes after Second Amendment rights in justifying Minneapolis shooting

A number of pro-gun rights Republicans pushed back on the administration's argument that Alex Pretti was dangerous because he had a gun. Pretti was legally licensed to carry one.

US to send ICE agents to Winter Olympics, prompting Italian anger

US to send ICE agents to Winter Olympics, prompting Italian anger​

 

[Brad Sallows]

As many speculate, it may be difficult to sue federal agents.

A bit overlooked is that ICE and CBP are two different groups, which raises the question of why CBP is in Minneapolis.

Immigration laws must be enforced. No laws should be enforced without restraint. Some laws might be modifiable. The US is in a pickle between the people insisting borders be secured, and people who want almost no restrictions. I doubt the "conflict" ends until the latter concede.

Remind me again why ICE personal would be sent overseas as part of a VIP protection detail? Are US Departments that short of qualified personal that they will have to take agents from a department that does not have that role?

It would seem their primary role overseas is screening passengers bound for the US and being part of Embassy staff to assist in immigration reviews and investigations.

 

[ModlrMike]

So, my youtube is frequently populated with police videos. One of the things I notice is that in nearly every encounter, the police approach calmly, and almost always start with non-lethal force. The ICE videos I've seen show none of that. From my perspective, ICE appears all in, all the time.

Yes, because they quite publicly spent a lot of the first year firing anyone remotely competent.

The “ you” in my comment was the general/generic you rather than the personal you. Sorry, my comment was badly constructed.

Homeland Security Investigations; not Enforcement and Removal Operations. Two separate agencies both under the ICE umbrella. HSI are pros and have attachés throughout the world including Canada.

Interestingly the two agents who appear to be involved in the shootings in Minnesota were also pros with years of experience and not part of the recent hire rabble.

I'm not going to the Olympics in Italy and frankly I don't care who the Americans send over to deal with their own people. Just don't come around any Canadians, we'll police our own. Lastly, its the Italians, the general population, that they've need to make happy.

Yup, but the guys we’re seeing on the news are ICE ERO and CBP. HSI do stuff like national security investigations, cybercrime, war crimes, sanctions etc. detective stuff versus hit the streets and crack heads stuff. Very different mentalities and different people attracted to the respective roles.

So, like, standard Internal Affairs stuff?
