We are seeing a lot of this lately... gun happy ICE agents!
Los Angels TimesBy Brittny Mejia and Rachel UrangaNov. 10, 2025A Fullerton police officer intervened when he saw a man in plain clothes pointing a gun at a female driver on a busy street in Santa Ana. The man later identified himself as an immigration agent and accused the driver of “following him” during an “operation,” a refrain increasingly heard as agents push back on people recording their movements.The brief, but tense encounter Sunday, caught partially on video, raises concerns as it joins a growing list of cases of masked and plainclothes agents being mistaken for criminals and vice versa.The officer had just dropped off an inmate at the Orange County Jail and was returning to Fullerton when he noticed a man exit a vehicle at an intersection and draw his weapon on the driver behind him, according to a statement from the Fullerton Police Department.[...]After the agent identified himself, the officer told him “he could not assist with someone following or recording him if no crime had occurred, and that local law enforcement was en route.”
A 45-year-old California man who reportedly works as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent is accused of illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week.The Nov. 10 incident, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, played out at around 10:30 pm outside a home in Temecula, California.Lawyer Greg Kirakosian, who represents the boy and his family, told Nexstar’s KTLA that the 17-year-old was driving home after dropping a friend off down the street when he saw the suspect, identified by investigators as Gerardo Rodriguez, pointing a gun at his vehicle and demanding he pull over.
The Star Tribune writes,
Federal agents have either shot a person or fired a weapon 14 times since July, according to a database compiled by the news outlet The Trace.The Trace found at least three people were killed and four injured in 12 of those shootings. Two other shootings involved off-duty officers. The data includes the Minneapolis fatality.Nearly every case had a common factor with the Minneapolis shooting: officers shot or fired at, people in a vehicle.Federal officials did not immediately comment on the Trace data but say there is a major uptick in people using vehicles as a weapon against law enforcement. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, said Wednesday that “we’ve seen over 100 of these vehicle rammings happen in just recent weeks.”
ICE agents are a bunch of gun happy thugs and don't have to worry about going before a Shooting Review Board. But remember one thing... Minnesota has no Statue of Limitation for murder!
