Democrats seek to block Homeland Security funding over ICE concerns
The spending bill is set for a vote Thursday, and it’s not clear if it will have enough support to pass.
By Riley Beggin and Marianna Sotomayor
Democrats plan to vote against a negotiated funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s aggressive actions against U.S. citizens in Minneapolis and other cities.
Thousands of ICE agents have been sent to Minnesota since December as part of a crackdown that DHS has described as the largest immigration enforcement effort in the agency’s history. An ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renée Good this month, prompting mass demonstrations in the Twin Cities. A week later, another ICE officer shot an undocumented Venezuelan man in the leg during an arrest. ICE also began an operation in Maine on Wednesday.
This article goes on for 20 Paragraphs but here is the sum total of WaPo coverage of the Good murder in this article: "An ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renée Good this month .... But Good’s death incensed many Democrats." Here is a link to the entire article inedible so you can see for yourself:

What is really disgusting is there has been a Ton of WaPo coverage about the Good execution ibut Not a peep has mentioned the fact that following the shooting the ICE agents stood around watching her die while denying her medical attention by a physician passing by that had volunteer to treat her.
While I totally support ICE Agents expelling Illegal Aliens not authorized to be here, I believe the ICE shooting of Ms Good was nothing short of an execution. The first shot was bad enough but the two point blank follow up shots through the driver's side window were unconscionable. As bad as the murder was, what was even more egregious was the ICE agents’ actions after they shot her. There is a very disturbing video of them taken by a witness on the scene that was published by the Huffington Post. The video picks up after the woman's SUV crashed into a parked car after she was shot by the ICE agent. A doctor on scene asked a “Caring” ICE Agent "Can I go check a pulse?" and the "compassionate" ICE agent tells him, "No," and ordered him to "back up." The doctor replied "I'm a physician" and the ICE agent angrily responded "I don't care" while another agent lied to him that they had their own medics on scene. Over the entire course of the video NO ONE is seen treating the shot woman. ICE agents standing around watching an American citizen die while denying her medical assistance is criminal and those agents should be prosecuted. I’m surprised this has NOT been even mentioned in any of the WaPo coverage of the incident.
To see for yourself exactly how “caring and compassionate” these Federal Agents were, here is a link to the Huffington Post video: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-video-shooting-doctor-aid-minneapolis_l_695ffb6fe4b088e2524d9155?origin=home-latest-news-unit
