The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

BUT !
Qualified Immunity

Here is the AI take on "qualified immunity".
{...
Qualified immunity is a legal principle in the United States that shields government officials, particularly law enforcement officers, from liability in civil lawsuits for actions taken while performing their official duties. The doctrine allows officials to avoid legal consequences unless their conduct violates a right that was "clearly established" at the time of the incident, meaning that a reasonable official would have known their actions were unlawful.
...}

The idea is that you don't want law enforcement to hesitate in their job over the civil suits that people could try to retaliate with.
But murder is a "clearly established" crime that can only be justified if necessary in self defense of the defense of others.
And since the ICE agent was not at all threatened by the car, there was then no application for "qualified immunity".
His job is not to shoot people, and there was no threat.
In fact, since ICE only deals with immigration regulatory infractions, there is no reason for them to even be armed.
It is not like immigration infractions are even a felony.

But since all ICE are incredibly aggressive and violent, it is my opinion it is the management who is responsible for the illegal training they are under.

The shooter in this case whose identity has been withheld, may escape punishment. Or
Trump may throw him under the bus, in an effort to protect Trump's broader xenophobic agenda.

Yes, it is Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem who are primarily responsible.
And you can tell because they are the ones lying the most about it.

BREAKING: ICE agent shooter’s identity is revealed — and the government cover-up just got even uglier. SPREAD HIS SHAME!

ICE didn’t want to tell you his name, but now we know it anyway.

The ICE agent who shot and killed 37-year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis has been identified by the Minnesota Star Tribune as Jonathan David Ross, a 10-year law enforcement veteran. And the revelations surrounding his past only raise more disturbing questions about the federal government’s rush to excuse deadly force.

Ross, a member of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations “special response team,” was quietly shielded by federal officials as protests exploded across Minneapolis. Thousands poured into the streets. Mayor Jacob Frey delivered a blunt message to Washington: “To ICE — get the f*ck out of Minneapolis.”

On Capitol Hill, Democrats began floating the once unthinkable: cutting DHS funding.

But instead of transparency, the administration stonewalled.

The FBI refused to involve Minnesota authorities in the investigation. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem labeled Good’s actions “domestic terrorism.” JD Vance leaned into the narrative, repeatedly invoking a prior incident in which the same agent had been “dragged by a car,” framing the shooting as the inevitable act of a traumatized officer.

But here’s what the videos show.

Good was trying to leave. Her red SUV was turning away. An agent approached the passenger side, phone in hand, moved toward the front of the vehicle, and fired four shots as the car pulled off. Good crashed moments later. She never made it home to her children.

And here’s what court records reveal.

Ross was previously involved in a violent 2025 arrest in Bloomington in which an agent was dragged by a fleeing suspect — an incident now being used to justify killing a woman who was not accused of any violent crime. Even then, the administration can’t keep its story straight: Vance claimed the agent suffered “33 stitches in his leg.” Court documents show the injuries were to Ross’s arms and hand.

Details matter when someone is dead.

Instead of accountability, we’re watching a full-scale federal defense campaign: misstatements, fearmongering, and character assassination of a woman who cannot defend herself. Good is branded a terrorist. Ross is framed as a hero. And local officials are warned to stand down.

Governor Tim Walz said what millions are thinking about the FBI investigation of the shooting: “It feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome.”

That’s the real scandal. A mother is dead. An officer is protected. And the federal government appears more interested in controlling the narrative than confronting the truth.

We finally have his name. Now the federal government will have to answer for his actions.

REPORT: Gov. Walz authorizes Minnesota National Guard to be staged

(ABC 6 News) — On Thursday, Gov. Walz announced he has authorized the Minnesota National Guard to be staged and ready to support local and state law enforcement in protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining public safety.

It comes following a shooting in Minneapolis on Wednesday in which a woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent.

“Minnesotans have met this moment.

Thousands of people have peacefully made their voices heard. Minnesota: thank you. We saw powerful peace,” said Gov. Walz. “We have every reason to believe that peace will hold. Yesterday, I directed the National Guard to be ready should they be needed. They remain ready in the event they are needed to help keep the peace, ensure public safety, and allow for peaceful demonstrations.”

The Minnesota State Patrol has also mobilized 85 members of its Mobile Response Team.

According to Gov. Walz’s office, the National Guard will serve in a support role by focusing on protecting property, safeguarding critical infrastructure, and allowing local law enforcement to focus on community safety and investigative responsibilities.

In the hours following the shooting, both Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Walz denounced the shooting and called for ICE to leave Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota.

However, many in the Trump administration have defended the actions of the ICE agent with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying he acted in self defense.

The FBI has taken full control of the investigation into the shooting, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Two starkly opposed Americas laid bare by deadly ICE shooting​

The fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by a federal law-enforcement officer is laying bare the sharp divides in US politics – and threatening to inflame an already contentious debate over immigration policy.

The incident took place in broad daylight. There are multiple videos taken by bystanders from various locations. And yet even the basic facts are being disputed.

Almost immediately after the shooting, two starkly different accounts began to take shape. Any ambiguities in the videos shared online were seized upon - different angles and different screengrabs were used to push a particular narrative.

And on the public stage, state and federal officials openly disagreed.

According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the driver – 37-year-old Renee Good – was to blame. As she drove away from ICE officers, she "weaponised her car" in a "domestic terror attack", Noem said. (Shift's comment - the video shows that to be a lie.)

US President Donald Trump blamed a "professional agitator" and a "radical left movement of violence and hate" in a Truth Social post.

National Democrats - and state and local officials in Minnesota - have painted a completely different picture.

Jacob Frey, the Democratic Mayor of Minneapolis, said a federal agent "recklessly" used lethal force. He also issued an expletive-laced demand for .....

Thank you S2 #2,313.

That may be the latest word. It may not necessarily be the last word.

What happens from here will be strongly influenced by the coping skills of the law-&-order non-MAGAs.

The prejudice from Trump & Noem are conspicuous here, defensive, revisionist, and emphatic.

This is what the People voted for.
