<modsnip: Removed personalizing questions> ... would you suggest they film but from a distance deemed suitable by the Border Patrol officers? The thing there is that BP will only consider the distance suitable if it's far enough away for the witness to not see anything.

also at your linkI guess that this is why the lawyers (for today's court hearing) are saying that it is an illegal occupation. There are (many) more ICE and CBP than police officers in Minneapolis.
A total of 3,000 ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents are now operating in the city, a force that is roughly five times the size of the Minneapolis Police Department, which has about 600 officers
Minneapolis becomes ground zero in Trump's immigration crackdown: Arrests, protests and 2 fatal shootings by agents
The fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents has further inflamed tensions in Minneapolis, a city at the center of America's immigration debate in recent months. Here's a look at how it started.
MOO that would be illuminating information to have if one were trying to ascertain the effectiveness of this surge action.
There's another world out there in which the woman who was shoved and the man who was pepper sprayed for going to her assistance would be considered innocent third parties.Border Patrol Union expresses 'full confidence' in agents using 'justifiable force'
The Border Patrol Union says it has "full confidence that when more facts are revealed, our agents and officers will be shown to have utilized justifiable force in eliminating the threat".
In a post on social media, it says "Border Patrol agents are trained extremely well to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and innocent third parties".
The statement adds that when a protester brings a weapon with them, "there are going to be severe consequences and repercussions".

And even if they don't make the claim about the gun, it still leaves the question:
sorry, I am not laughing at you but at the posted content. "Separately" indeed. reads like "in other completely unrelated news" when it is patently clear, at least to me, that his need for retribution for those who have opposed him is not at all separate from the current state of affairs. JMO IMO MOO
Because all democracies need a Czar.
IMO the threat was and remains the eyes of the nation upon what is happening in the state of MN and there is no way to neutralize that. The eyes of the world are on this administration and how it chooses to respond to the murder of Alex Pretti.Border Patrol Union expresses 'full confidence' in agents using 'justifiable force'

Because they are undertrained, trigger-happy, thugs who seem to have no fear of any repercussions.
The admin has already responded. They lied.
Thank you this is great info for us to seeIt’s not really a swing state but it is a blue state that has voted against Trump in the last 3 elections. And Tim Walz the governor was running for VP against Trump in 2024. Those are some of the reasons I believe he has sent a very strong ICE presence to that state, especially because they actually have one of the lowest number of illegal immigrants nationwide. All MOO.
Here’s a chart that breaks down how many undocumented immigrants per state. Google says Minnesota has about 78,000-120,000 undocumented immigrants, which is 1.6% of their population.

IMO whatever his plan is won't work. The majority of the public is adamantly against it. Picking MN for "proof of concept" is proving to be a very poor decision. They are not going to give up and the rest of the country is behind them 100%. Will help in material ways. People understand MN is ground zero.
I heard a quote the other day that basically sums this up - “You can’t break the law to enforce the law”
I do not disagree, but the further they dig into the he assaulted our agents narrative in the face of video proof to the contrary, the better as far as showing the world that this was never about "the worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens or Medicaid fraud, which, BTW the state of MN has been prosecuting for years already. JMO this will continue until enough eyes that have until now preferred to look away can no longer do so.
This! Serial killers get caught and get a trial. So many web sleuths cases are firstly about a heinous crime but also then the trial process where both sides get to present a case. Even someone guilty of such a crime may not get the death penalty.
