Shocking! Telling the witnesses to the shooting to self deport is criminal. Using the same excuse that an officer was attacked is very dubious especially as ICE weren't wearing body-cameras.
What a dreadful country the US has become under Trump

It’s actually beyond belief isn’t it!! I only knew about this because a friend of mine, who lives in Connecticut, and is a minister, was holding a vigil and posted it on FB

Trump was boasting that the USA was the best country in the world but not if your face doesn't fit or you are very poor.
There have been other shootings by ICE. How awful for people who have lived and worked in the US for many years to fear that they may be shot and killed by this murderous group.

And look who looks up to Trump and all he stands for.

They are terrorising certain communities.

Thank you for highlighting this! its good to keep what Trump is up to domestically, whilst he seeks to draw attention away with Wars and demanding we all arm to the teeth to fit his fantasy game world.
