Evidence goes before a judge

What evidence went before a judge prior to the two latest executions in Minneapolis?

There's a pretty big difference between getting killed in an altercation with ICE, and executing someone just because they refuse to give up their password.

  • Not really. ICE breaks into your home — remember they don't need a warrant for this. Demands to see your phone. It's locked. Holds a gun to your head and demands you unlock it. You refuse. Pulls the trigger.

    Does it really seem that far–fetched when compared to the other ICE murders?

      No, not really, because in the two killings you can vaguely argue they felt threatened. Pointing a gun to someone's head and demanding the password isn't anywhere close to that. Don't get me wrong, the killings are an affront to civil liberties and should be condemned/prosecuted accordingly, but to think that ICE agents are going around and reenacting the opening scene from Inglorious Bastards shows that your worldview can't handle more nuance than "fascism? true/false".
