Immigration officers shooting at drivers

MS NOW - The tragic shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis was not an isolated incident. An MS NOW review of court records and media reports found that federal agents working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol have shot at people in their cars at least 15 times since July, write David Noriega and Kay Guerrero, as part of a new series, “Cities Under Siege.” The shootings have occurred most often in places that Trump has targeted for federal deployments, including California, Illinois, Minnesota and Washington, D.C. After each shooting, federal officials and agencies have quickly asserted that the driver was attempting to run over or ram agents with their vehicle, but the claims have frequently fallen apart once videos and other evidence emerged. Eight of the incidents led to criminal cases, four of which were dropped or dismissed by judges and four of which are ongoing. In two, charges were never filed because the civilians were fatally shot. None of the agents, meantime, has been charged. Read the article here.
