Attorney General Pam Bondi was so furious with six federal prosecutors who announced they would resign rather than prosecute the widow of a Minnesota woman killed by an ICE agent that she fired them before they had a chance to give their notice.

There is no statute of limitations on murder, Johnathan Ross. This one is around your neck for life.

    He'll be pardoned by Trump. All of ICE probably will be.

    Border patrol agents have no jurisdiction over US citizens. They didn't have the authority to stop her and try to remove her from her car in the first place so, what they were doing was unlawful from the start. That should disqualify him from using the supremacy clause, before we even get into debate on whether lethal force was justified or not.

    ICE isn't border patrol.

    As for whether this was part of their duties, that's the question and oh boy this is going to be messy in the courts.

    Ah, I thought he was border patrol, but he's ICE, and you're right. ICE also doesn't have jurisdiction over US citizens though. I think it's pretty clear that there was no probable cause to believe she, or her wife, were potentially illegal immigrants, were aiding illegal immigrants, or were impeding the agent's investigation in any way, given that she was initially trying to wave them to go around her.

    If/When we have a functioning DOJ again, Ross is going to prison.

    They should have just not said anything dragged their feet while at work while slowly eating up annual/sick leave to really slow everything down. Now there are 4 vacancies that could have been tied up for the better part of a year.

    It's better strategically but you need to have the strength to do so. Sometimes people are overwhelmed by something and just need to get out of the situation and I think that is OK too. Everyone should do what they are capable off, but it should be fine to just stop doing wrong stuff.

    They aren't going to be able to fill these because fed attorney jobs pay dick and there is zero prestige to these postings now.

    Well, maybe true for qualified people, the job title is no longer prestigious.

    But for the scum of the earth? That job title legitimizes them, by comparison.

    I think I know which type will be the ones applying...

    Weren't these the people earlier this week who supposedly resigned, of which people were complaining about. Now it comes out they were actually fired before they even could...

    Maybe people should realize there might have been more going on that we aren't privy to.

    All this 'not good enough' thinking does is breed toxicity and in-fighting. Both of which are not good when trying to form a solidarity.

    I'm sure I read some suggestion of charging her with felony murder; as in she committed a felony (anyone's guess what that would even be) and as a result her wife got shot, which somehow makes it her fault.

    Almost certainly the felony murder rule. This is a first-year law school concept that they are twisting and perverting - par for the course for this administration - but it basically means that a group committing a felony are all liable for any murders that happen during the course of that felony.

    The idea of using it on an innocent murder victim's wife to feed into an already ludicrous narrative that the victim was the perpetrator is outright evil. It's not surprising that these people resigned, because if you have morals, you will feel your skin crawl at the very idea of doing that.

    Since ICE was there in the first place and shouldn’t have been, shouldn’t we charge them with the murder?

    I mean if we’re playing cutesy baby games with the rules, those motherfuckers shouldn’t be operating armed terror squads on US soil and they have no jurisdiction over US citizens, so any assault they make on a US citizen is 100% a felony so I think we should charge Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi right away

    The need to dehumanize the victim because even some Republicans are upset that they are shooting white ladies.

    I'm not surprised that Hannity finds it "almost impossible to comprehend" that someone would resign to uphold their principles.

    Both of these talking heads are puppets with the hands of the same puppeteer up their asses.

    FOX news needs to be destroyed. Preferably with everyone still inside.

    I had the chance to give the staff diarrhea but I felt bad for people like the camera operator or whatever... I worked for a company involved with Dairy Queen and Carvel ice cream and at the start of the "ice cream season" fox does a morning show with them as a advertisement. I was so close to putting exlax in the mix but I decided against it... I still kick myself for not doing it but it wouldn't have reached assholes like Hannity anyway.

    As a Minnesotan, I've had a lot of conversations with friends, family, and neighbors lately about what is going on

    Most are pissed about ICE being here, and how they're acting. Some, however, are 100% MAGA, and happy ICE is here

    There is one thing everyone seems to agree on though: ICE being in Minnesota is political retaliation

    We're a state with ~2% of the population of the US. We have less than 2% of the immigrants due to our location and climate. Yet 20-30% of ICE agents are now here

    Dumb of her. You have more protections when fired than if you just quit. It's almost always in your best interest to have a shitty boss fire you and have those protections than leave voluntarily and have almost none.

    Correct me if I am wrong here: Are there women in ICE? All I have seen are men who look like they are divorced and not paying their child support.

    The fact that these monsters would even think of going after the victim's wife tells you all you need to know about the conservative mind.

    “They wanted the taxpayers to pay for them to go on vacation because they decided they didn’t want to support law enforcement,” she said. “So, the breaking news tonight? I fired them all! They are FIRED from the office.”

    Not a major point, but when an employee wants to resign they are saying that they want their PTO paid out, as they are entitled to under law or contract. That’s what those former employees were saying. Bondi is saying she fired them, but she will still have to pay out that PTO all the same.
