  1. So now merely witnessing ICE killing innocent US citizens is illegal.

    Ffs, ABOLISH ICE!!!

  2. Probably trying to intimidate witnesses not realising it was filmed in a dozen directions as they aren’t the sharpest tools

    Which lawyer wants to start the class action for this round of wrongful detentions?

  4. This shit really pisses me off. You cannot detain witnesses. If they don’t want to talk they don’t have to.

  5. According to a separate article in The Guardian, the “pink coat lady” who filmed the clearest video of the fatal shooting said in a sworn affidavit (that was filed in federal court in Minnesota late Saturday): “I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me, and I don’t feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don’t know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they’re not telling the truth about what happened.”

  6. So they released all of the witnesses? Yes or no?

    “Immigration Customs” should not be detaining Americans, especially just for witnessing a crime that happened in a public street.

  7. According to a separate article in The Guardian, the ACLU has already filed a lawsuit on behalf of Minneapolis protesters against Kristi Noem and other homeland security officials directing the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

    I want to upvote posts like these but I know that will lead to three letter agencies knocking on my door to lock me away

    Censorship and intimidation. Like in every good ol dictatorship. Just don’t give in, that’s all they’re hoping for

  10. He was held first by himself and then with two dozen others who were there. That’s good. Classic law enforcement technique, straight from the academy. Don’t separate witnesses until statements have been taken – put them all together!

    Amazed he was released so quickly instead of being sent immediately to Texas… with or without formal charges.

    This is what fascism looks like America … they can now shoot anyone in the street in broad daylight and get away with it. This is just the beginning, anyone in Los Angeles NYC Seattle SF needs to understand this is their warm up , they’re coming for you after that stupid World Cup

    Did they ask him any questions? Did they say why he was being held? I want to hear more from this witness. More details CBS.
