>ICE agents are living in fear as the public turns against them in record numbers after one of their colleagues shot a mom dead in the street.
>The killing of unarmed Renee Nicole Good, 37, has sparked international outrage. She was blasted three times in her car by federal agent Jonathan Ross during an immigration protest in a residential part of Minneapolis on Jan. 7.
>Good’s killing has heightened tensions nationwide—but particularly in Minnesota. An ICE agent told the Daily Beast drivers were increasingly making a “gun sign” with their hands as they pass by ICE patrols in the street.
>Agents fear the public revulsion towards the heavy-handed approach of ICE under President Donald Trump, and the administration’s efforts to cover its own tracks as it did in the wake of Good’s shooting, is already causing problems securing criminal convictions. One former agent told the Daily Beast that he and his colleagues fear it has already become more common for juries not to believe evidence they are presenting to the court.
>Separately, according to a report published Monday, Border Patrol—the agency working with ICE on the ground—is struggling to find agents willing to join the administration’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis, which was promised by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in response to last Wednesday’s deadly incident.
>The hostility is such that polling suggests many Americans now wish to see ICE scrapped altogether.
Fucking good. If there is anybody who deserves to be terrorized it is terrorist pieces of shit.
It’s us against them.
Reap what you sow
Terrorize them some more. It is good for our moral that peaceful protest scares the armed incels
So what will Trump do about it; pull back ICE and boot the clearly incompetent, unstable and trigger happy ones out?
Nah. He’ll up the signing bonus & pay, and tell ’em he’ll have their backs if they start executing people on a whim.
The alarm bells should start ringing at “he’ll have their backs” as the only person he protects is himself.

I don’t have a problem with ICE agents being uncomfortable. They should be ashamed to admit what they do for a living.
I don’t condone violence against them, but if they’re afraid that’s good too. They are terrorists in a terrorist organization which is endorsed brand controlled solely by our fascist president. That is not hyperbole, it’s an observation.
I think of the Statue of Liberty… then I think of these little tiny costumer larpers with masks on that need 20 of them to harass one ‘suspected’ immigrant. They’re the opposite of what any land of opportunity and land of the free should look like.
People who invade America ought to be terrified by Americans.
