“I’m saying it right now,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”

DHS has acknowledged that neither of the men who have been shot in recent weeks was the target of the ICE operations that led to their deaths.

A witness reported that Guerrero shouted, “I tried to stop” after being shot by an agent while his vehicle moved forward slowly.

      You want to hold us accountable? We’re going to murder even harder.

      Now that’s what I call a bold strategy.

    Trump’s pardons are not global. They can still be extradited for murdering one of their citizens.

    Here’s the neat part, the murders will continue either way.

    Why should anybody shut up?

    Turns out the bloodshed also continues if we say/do nothing about it too, so we may as well say/do something about it anyway.

    “let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted”

    I don’t recall anyone enacting a law that said “round up brown people in concentration camps and kill protesters”

            Might want to check the voting record on ICE establishment, support and funding there sport.

            Right up until well into the 2020s they were a bipartisan effort.

              This reminds me of the “you know, the southern states who supported slavery were all democrats” rhetoric.

              ICE before 2024 was a completely different agency. Trying to argue that the democratic party is somehow to blame for Trump’s executive orders, the construction/creation of concentration camps over the last year, and mass hiring of a bunch of untrained white nationalists is an absolutely insane take.

      Joe Biden spent a record amount on ICE camps while the threat of fascism was obviously clear.

      Obama not only discovered Homan, but awarded him with a medal when Homan devised a plan to separate migrant children from their parents at detention centers.

      Every single dem senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio, who has obviously been one of the biggest champions of "immigration enforcement.

      They’re not entirely wrong when they say the Democrats gave them a mandate.

        I mean we have to acknolwedge that Rubio and Homan did not act back then the way they do now. A Christian Nationalist (Nat-C) movement electing a fascist president has a way of bringing the latent bigot out of people that may have been decent at suppressing it in the past.

        People across this nation have been experiencing that on a personal level with their family/friends for the last decade.

    This guy is a criminal no different than some loose nutcase murderer who kills people at random to vent his frustration. He needs to be kept in solitary confinement for life.

    Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

    White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

    A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

    They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

    This man is a traitor to our nation.

    If justice is to be restored he must be tried and executed or, at minimum, imprisoned for life.

    I guess, literally, he probably means that if Democrats do not allow ICE to deport criminals, potential murderers, & rapists, then there would be bloodshed by those criminals who could have been deported if ICE had not been thwarted. In other words, the people who might harm others & could have been removed from the country would still remain here committing crimes.

    However, in light of recent events involving ICE shooting at what appears to me to have been an anxious, bad female driver, the statement sounds much worse/more-ominous/baleful.

    P.S. I do not like masked government officials, even if there are people associated with groups like ANTIFA who are willing to murder over this issue. However, I would rather be able to hold government officials accountable. If an ANTIFA member murders someone, they should go to jail, just like an ICE agent should go to jail if they murder someone.
