According to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, agents approached a white van after identifying the men inside as unauthorized immigrants. The department alleges the driver refused to turn off the engine and instead began ramming ICE vehicles and targeting agents.

The officers shot at the van, wounding the driver, DHS said. The driver then wrecked the van, injuring the passenger.

    Were they masked and armed men approaching the vehicle in a threatening manner? Then I don’t see the issue. 18 years of Criminal Minds means you never let the kidnapper take you to a secondary location.

    It’s amazing how seemingly everyone got the memo to start ramming ice vehicles and targeting “officers” at the exact same time, like a coordinated organization or something. Like every single one of these allegations have been basically the same script, and they think it’s somehow believable when the follow-up of said offensive maneuver is to get shot while fleeing?

    Make it make sense!

      Antifa must be coordinating our every move. Lol

      Prediction: prime minister of Canada identified as head of antifa to justify our next abduction.

      I no longer even have to ask if we are the baddies.

      Okay! There is a general outrage that is boiling over and, while the Revolution eventually became organized, it started the same general way with the same sense of outrage from abuse as now (Boston tea party was a riot, as was what led up to the Boston massacre, but that outrage became organized and defeated a global empire).

        I find it much easier to believe ICE are lying, and these things aren’t actually happening at all (which has been the case with the footage we’ve seen from similar claims) but that’s all good stuff too :)

        I’d be happy if the narrative they are pushing was actually true, I just don’t think it is. It’s too consistent to be real.

    So the engine was on. Was the van moving before? How does one “identify unauthorized immigrants” inside a van especially if it was moving? Hmmm…

    We know they lied about the circumstances of shooting that woman in Chicago, we can only assume they are lying in this instance as well.
