The Department of Homeland Security says an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a suspect who tried to evade arrest in a Chicago suburb by driving his car at officers and dragging one of them.
Frankly I don’t understand why they didn’t expect anything less by creating random traffic choke points. Mark my words, attitudes on ICE are going to start shifting radically once they start causing more and more collateral damage in pursuit of these capricious arrests.
It’s gonna be something big, like, an ICE agent smearing one of Jeff Bezos’ kids with an SUV while they’re chasing a 75 year old abuelita through a palisade in downtown San Francisco. It’s gonna be random, and whichever unlucky ICE agent ends up doing it is going to get crucified — literally. This kind of high recklessness isn’t even seen in states with sophisticated surveillance or fascism. We are absolutely on some Great Leap Forward bullshit right now.
