I disagree with the thought ICE doesn’t have authority here. They are federal LE and have authority to control a scene , issue safety related commands and prevent interference with a federal operation regardless of protest status. Being a protester does not give you immunity from laws or lawful orders. Authority stops mattering the moment a vehicle accelerated towards the agent. IMO
Control what scene? They were protesting and she was observing. Three minutes she was sitting there. She was not obstructing. If she was, they wouldn't have been able to move around her. They have no authority to order her out of the car. They can tell her to leave, sure. But they have no authority to arrest her or detain her unless she's part of their operation or actively interfering, which she was not. They can issue a command, and they did -- contradictory commands. But to then shoot her?!? And people are defending this with the line "you should do what LE tells you to?" That makes no sense to me.
MOO.
