ICE agent kills man who tried to run him over in Houston's East

@Jx5673 : not sure from any reports. I won't give ICE the benefit of doubt

MissAmericanPie : but wonder why he was targeted?

MissAmericanPie:
Actually ICE agents have access to lots of information. People who came in Leagally, but were held up in the government bureaucracy for citizenship go to their government scheduled court dates have been arrested by ICE in the courthouse trying to do do the right thing, is that right?
It seems like ICE has quotas, and they go for the easy ones, instead of difficult ones.
If you were driving 5 miles over the speed limit, you broke the law. Then someone next to you was going 30 miles over the speed limit, and the police pull you over because it's easier.
Right or Wong?

mgmdad :
First of all, ice agents are given orders as to WHO they pick up. Thats their job, picking up illegals. This man should have gone with them, without resistance bc he was in the wrong. Nowadays, all he needs is a good lawyer and some left winged reporter to tell the world how he was abused by ice no matter who he tried to run over or whatever he did.

MissAmericanPie : You are assuming alot. Not sure why ICE has not said much since the original statement. It had never held them back before. Let's start why this individual was targeted

olemiss1968 : That's because you watch too many TikTok videos

olemiss1968 :
Im not sure how they decide that. Ofcourse they have leads on people. Not sure how the priority works with that.

olemiss1968 : You really think an ice agent would want to intentionally be involved in something like this with all the poor me bs and all the twisted media reporting that goes on now every day in our country ?

Chow : maybe. You jealous?

Chow : maybe. Im not saying intentional. Perhaps not trained? Overzealous? We will see but we can all assume

olemiss1968 : Use your brain don't just sway to one side or the other

Chow : What a great comeback

olemiss1968 : You're so predictable sometimes

Chow : Aren't we all?
