Shots Fired at Border Patrol Agents in Chicago, Federal Officials Say​

A Homeland Security official said someone fired shots at U.S. Border Patrol agents in Chicago on Saturday, the latest in a series of clashes between residents and federal agents during an immigration enforcement blitz that has now lasted two months.

Officials said that no Border Patrol agents were injured and no one had been arrested. The incident happened on a day when federal officers were out in force in the Little Village neighborhood, an area southwest of downtown Chicago that has long been home to many Mexican immigrants.

A video posted on social media showed residents confronting masked federal agents who were detaining someone along the side of the road. Several minutes into the video, a burst of three apparent gunshots could be heard nearby, followed by another. The video did not make clear where the apparent shots came from.

He's been looking for a pretense to invoke the Insurrection Act. What better way than using ICE agents or border patrol agents to provoke an isolated reaction to their brutal tactics? Notably, no arrests have been made. Would I put it past the regime to have staged the incident? No.

Trump is 'closer than ever' to invoking the Insurrection Act, say former officials​

President Donald Trump has been itching to use the Insurrection Act since the George Floyd protests in 2020. But he’s closer than ever to invoking the 1807 law.

In the past week, Trump and Vice President JD Vance and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller have threatened that the president could use the Insurrection Act to deploy the military domestically.

The law gives the president fairly broad discretion to determine whether there is an insurrection or rebellion taking place, which could allow Trump to circumvent legal questions he’s facing over sending the National Guard into Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Oregon.

Yep. The flock will fully back it. The question is what the rest of the country will think when the videos start popping up.

That's when this whole thing will be out in the open, if it isn't already.

Shots Fired at Border Patrol Agents in Chicago, Federal Officials Say. Shots fired? Says who? The people who want shots fired?

These liars have been busted a million times claiming something happened when it didnt.

The response of the Media and the Leftist population to the Trump outrage of TRYING TO ENFORCE OUR EXISTING IMMIGRATION LAWS is truly astounding. This is all part of the same bullshit.

People who came here illegally, and people who over-stayed their visas need to be removed. If a few citizens are inconvenienced or some of the illegals are treated harshly, that is an acceptable price to pay.

Long live President Trump.

It isnt illegal to apply for Asylum within the US regardless of your immigration status. In fact, its specifically legal. What now? Should we follow the law or what some poster going by DGS49 thinks? Arent you advocating following the law but making up laws?

Hey, it is ok to MURDER someone you disagree with.

It is a problem and it is going to get worse.

Kirk gets assassinated in front of his wife and children and thousands of people and the left not only lampoons the incident, they encourage more of it.

It is dangerous. So easily manipulated by social media and talking heads.

The people who claim they are happy Kirk was murdered cannot even articulate why he needed to be murdered beyond. “HE WAS RACIST.”

Such ignorant sheep.

If it happens, you drew "first blood". You never think when you do things to keep your power. It was an insurrection when you anointed Joe as president in 2020. It was an insurrection when you anointed Kamala to succeed Joe as the 2024 candidate without running in a primary. Jan. 6 is a date you put into people's minds and is promoted as one of the worst events in human history.

There's two ways this could go, assuming the shots fired weren't staged.

1. De-escalation. Go back to ICE performing their normal functions in identifying undocumented immigrants and starting a procedure to deport them. Not otherwise law abiding citizens with families and jobs who would qualify for a path to citizenship under the rules established by the 2013 Immigration Reform Act that passed in the Senate.

2. Escalation. Try to turn the country in to more of a police state than Dotard already has.

I'm going with door #2.

The solution is simple, continue to enforce the law. Find these dembot terrorist and prosecute them. Prosecute every single one

TRYING TO ENFORCE OUR EXISTING IMMIGRATION LAWS

Is that what you think is happening?

We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.​

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Obama deported a lot of illegal aliens. Something for which he was criticized in some Dem circles. But he also favored a path to citizenship. And he didn't order masked federal agents to act in ways they are acting now.

AI Overview

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been widely criticized by civil rights organizations, legal experts, and advocates for employing various
abusive and deceptive tactics during arrests and in detention facilities. These reported abuses include the use of ruses to gain entry, excessive force, racial profiling, and inhumane conditions in detention.

You guys are dipshit liars. Kirk was shot by a non-political lifelong right wing family member and Trump was straight up shot by a republican. In fact almost all political murders in the US are committed by right wingers.

Of these three ideologies, most prior research has contrasted those committed to right-wing and left-wing causes. Much of this research suggests that compared to left-wing extremists, right-wing extremists may be more likely to engage in politically motivated violence. In comparison to left-wing supporters, right-wing individuals are more often characterized by closed-mindedness and dogmatism (9) and a heightened need for order, structure, and cognitive closure (5). Because such characteristics have been found to increase in-group bias and lead to greater out-group hostility (10), violence for a cause may be more likely among proponents of right-wing ideologies. In contrast, in comparison to their right-wing counterparts, left-wing individuals score higher on openness to new experiences, cognitive complexity, and tolerance of uncertainty (5). They are also less likely to support social dominance (11), which could lead to their overall lower likelihood to use violence against adversaries. In line with this reasoning, some studies have demonstrated an empathy gap between liberal and conservative individuals (12). Finally, according to various conceptualizations and operationalizations of right-wing authoritarianism (RWA; 13–15), aggressive tendencies constitute an inherent component of this construct, with people high in RWA being more hostile toward others who violate norms than those low in RWA. A recent meta-analysis supported this conclusion, revealing a positive relationship between right-wing ideology and aggressive attitudes and behaviors (16). However, the study did not focus solely on politicized contexts and included only milder forms of aggression.

Yeah, I think there is a conscious effort by these people to get to the Insurrection Act, by hook or by crook.

How ironic. The Insurrection Act, brought to you by the con man who was the Insurrection's Seditionist in Chief.

Okay, what the hell. It's been a little while since I tried. Here is a simple, clear and direct question for you. And I would appreciate a simple, clear and direct answer. Perhaps one that begins with a "yes" or a "no" (although I'm really not expecting a straight answer):

Do you realize that there are Americans across the political spectrum who are against Trump and what is happening? Do you realize that a person does not have to be on the Left to oppose it?

Do you remember that those who are against this include many in Trump's former cabinet, former generals, former attorneys, former Security Department officials, former White House staffers, former Republicans, former Republican election officials, former Vice President, and former conservative judges?

Yes or no?
