DHS
the agents have to pass at least a behavioral-based interview in the hiring process, right? "You approach a nice woman in her car. She says, 'I'm not mad at you.' Do you guide her to safety, or shoot her in the face?"
it has been just obscene, we have witnessed horrifying actions against vulnerable people.

the Posse Comitatus Act generally restricts the use of the US military for law enforcement within the US. It risks turning the military into a tool of fear rather than a force for national defense.
ICE MN
70% of those detained by ICE have no arrests or convictions.
Wed 7 Jan 2026, in Minneapolis, MN, Renee Good, 37, white female, was murdered in her car. "I'm not mad at you," she said and then was shot in the head, chest, and arm. The car rolled quietly into a pole.
2 ICE agents approached the side of a vehicle in the street. The driver reverses, turns her wheels away from the agents, then pulls forward. A 3rd ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, shoots her in the head, and then 2 rounds to the body.
bodycams showed the car was not positioned towards the agent. The agent put himself in that position by walking around the car while recording a personal video on his mobile.
Sat 24 Jan 2026, in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, MN, Alex Pretti, 37 white male, was murdered in the street. While helping a woman who was thrown to the street by ICE agents, Alex Pretti was tackled by the ICE agents and murdered. The agents surrounding him appear to have removed his holstered gun before shooting him in the back.
the killing of Alex Pretti marked the second fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis. Neither victim appeared to be the target of immigration enforcement. He was an observer, eyewitnesses say.
police
police departments manage surveillance systems, like automatic license plate readers.
ALPRs are provided by Flock Safety, a police-technology firm, recording billions of auto license plate images a month. Networked together, Flock cameras can enable police to track cars in real time, giving them eyes across a city. The cameras also create a record of where cars have been, providing a view of millions of drivers' movements. Privacy groups call alprs a threat to the Fourth Amendment.
the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. It requires law enforcement to have a warrant based on probable cause before they can search your property.
