The Trump administration’s rush to declare Ms. #Good and Mr. #Pretti at fault for instigating violence
was quickly undercut by a barrage of viral videos.

⭐️But a New York Times review of the other shootings found that similar claims by officials fell apart more quietly when the cases went to court

The Trump administration was quick to pin the blame.
Days after a federal immigration agent shot at #Phillip #Brown, a U.S. citizen, last October at a busy commercial intersection in Washington, D.C.,
a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security
claimed Mr. Brown had made a “deliberate attempt” to run officers down with his car.
Mr. Brown, 33, was arrested, charged with a felony — fleeing from law enforcement — and spent three days in jail.

In court, however, the case against Mr. Brown quickly unraveled
as a judge found that the government failed to present any evidence supporting its claims.
The judge dismissed the charges and said the agent had fired his weapon “for reasons that are completely unclear to me.”

🔥Mr. Brown’s case is among the 16 shootings by on-duty federal immigration agents patrolling in U.S. cities and towns over the past year,
including those that took the lives of Minnesota protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Trump Administration Claims About Shootings by Federal Agents Unravel in Court

Before the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, allegations against four others shot at by federal immigration agents failed to withstand scrutiny.

@cdarwin How many times do the liars have to lie before we simply assume they’re lying until proven otherwise. I don’t know about anybody else, but for myself, I’ve already surpassed that threshold.

@cdarwin if this were happening a few decades ago in Central or South America we would correctly call "ICE" a "right wing death squad." If it were happening in the Balkins, we would invade and try Trump for his role in "Ethnic Cleansing."

But America is "too big to fail," just like Germany was, so governments around the world do nothing while everyone outside of the ruling class watches in horror.
