During the border patrol stop, the driver, Luis Niño-Moncada, “weaponized their vehicle against” officers, DHS said, prompting an agent “to defend himself and others” by shooting the occupants. Zambrano-Contreras was hit in the chest, Niño-Moncada was hit in the arm and both were hospitalized, then taken into federal custody, DHS noted. The agents were uninjured.

OK, Einstein, what the fuck border are they protecting in Portland, Ore.? Washington?

I live in Texas. I grew up in Arizona and lived in New Mexico for a time. So, bad call on the assumption that I have no experience with Hispanic neighbours.

Your grievance is clearly not with me, so I decline to further engage.

Conveniently the exact relevant experience that no one can verify. Definitely nothing to see there.

Also something he's talked about extensively in the past, living in TX and going to see family in AZ. A simple search through his post history would reveal that.

As for the ICE stuff, they've been doing shit for a long time, but the current admin ramped it up to unprecedented levels. There's not really any denying that. They've also been going about it in an illegal manner much more brazenly this past year.
