Contributing sentiments towards policy:
54% : The mission of ICE is to enforce immigration laws.53% : Good's killing, while extreme, is not an aberration for recent ICE activities.
53% : If crack downs on political dissent are wrong in Iran, they're certainly wrong in the United States. ICE, which saw a huge increase in its budget this year in the Republican-backed Big Beautiful Bill, appears to be an agency out of control.
51% : That is what Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are increasingly doing.
51% : We can argue over whether officer Jonathan Ross felt threatened by Good's slowly moving vehicle, which he chose to stand in front of. What we saw and heard was Good talking cheerfully with the ICE members, her car slowly turning away from them, Ross firing into the car and then calling Good an expletive.
48% : Minnesota and Illinois have gone to court to restrict ICE operations.
48% : Last year, the Maine Legislature passed a bill, which Gov. Janet Mills allowed to become law, restricting Maine law enforcement cooperation with ICE.
47% : Rather than apologize for these horrific incidents and pledge better training of ICE agents, the Department of Homeland Security trotted out Nazi slogans. Seriously.
46% : ICE agents are not typical police officers.
46% : Yet, as anyone who's watched the numerous videos of the incident has seen, an ICE agent last week fired three shots at Renee Good, who was sitting in her vehicle on a street in Minneapolis.
46% : Congress must step in to review ICE operations -- and restrict them if necessary -- before more people are needlessly killed.
45% : We can argue, as the Trump administration wants us to, about whether Good should have been monitoring and protesting ICE activity in the Minnesota city.
42% : No doubt, ICE has harassed, harmed, detained and deported thousands of people in America, most of whom are not criminals.
41% : ICE agents have detained Indigenous Americans, with no information about their whereabouts.
40% : However, it should not be up to each state to fend off ICE's overreach and to protect its residents from the agency's dangerous tactics.
39% : ICE officers cannot be allowed to be judge, jury and executioner.
39% : And being disrespectful should never result in capital punishment.
39% : Recent events reiterate the wisdom of states resisting ICE's overreach.
38% : The day after the killing of Good, ICE agents shot and injured two people they were trying to apprehend in Oregon.
29% : Ross walked away from the scene, where a doctor was reportedly blocked from trying to treat Good, and drove oo. What should be beyond debate is that no ICE agent, or any law enforcement official, has the right or power to essentially execute someone for not following orders.
