I tend to think this is more of the result of bad decisions by different people during a very chaotic situation in a very short period of time. Calling it cold-blooded murder makes it sound like the agent was itching that day to get a shot at some protester regardless of what they did. I know what the current videos show and how easy it is to pause them and then try to put our investigators cap on, and I expect more videos will come out, but I do not think this was pre-meditated cold-blooded murder (I know, you did not say pre-meditation, but "cold-blooded" infers pre-meditation IMO) by some rogue gun ho agent. Sure others, particularly the leftist activists want to string this guy up (and they call themselves progressives) today, but as I always caution, wait until the investigation is completed. In the end I still re-iterate my question as to why this seems to only be occurring in Minneapolis? Sure there are CBP officers augmenting ICE activities there simply because the ICE agents cannot depend on any help from the local police, but that is not the complete story here, and in the end, the chaos was going to lead to bad events. Whatever, I guess Walz is getting his distraction as the MSM is not really discussing the massive fraud in Minnesota. As to the chaos, I understand the group chat and apps being used are identifying non-ICE vehicles as being ICE. At some point a citizen being harassed by this unhinged radical leftist activists is going to be the one taking the shot, and who will be at fault there. Overall, a sad situation all around, and most of it for political purposes only. Alinsky would be proud.

Here is the guide you need to study. The first step is all yours, you need to file an I130 for each parent (two total), and once these get approved by USCIS and move to the DoS (NVC then consulate), your parents will eventually apply for an IR5 visa. Processing times can vary, but figure 18-24 months from when you file until a visa is issued, but YMMV. Good Luck!

Neopronouns? What will they think of next.

This is truly sad that people have lost all sense of common decency and respect for others. I suppose this is "progress"?

The one thing he alluded to a few times was policy fixes. I don't really see government involvement helping this out.

So using your last line, it seems you are making full blown conclusions without all the proof. I would hate to have you on a jury.

I agree that HSI should not be conducting the investigation. I heard yesterday via MSM that it might be a joint FBI MN State Police investigation, but we shall see. Noem is a joke, and I really wish Trump would have left her in SD. It might be time to cut her loose. I also agree that the rank and file of the DoJ appear to be impartial which is probably the case in many large LEO agencies.

Bovino? If you meant Dan Bongino, you do know that he resigned right? From what I heard from the MSM (CBS in this case), it sounds like the crime scene was turned over to the locals (Minneapolis PD, or the Minnesota State Police), but it also sounds like the crime scene was over-run by the unhinged leftist, so who knows how contaminated it became. What is sad is that if this was a bad shoot that could lead to the agent being prosecuted, the evidence may be scarce due to the activities of the extremists. Yes, Pretti was exercising his 2A rights although I heard (again from a MSM source) that he might not have had his CCL license, but to conclude he was killed because of that is a major leap to judgement. It seems there was more impeding on his part as the agents were trying to take another person into custody. Best to avoid that type of confrontation IMO. As to the fraud allegations, before anyone can go to court, those allegations need to be investigated otherwise a court will throw everything out. You mentioned ICE was disproportionately deployed to Minnesota, but you realize there are a lot more federal investigators/agents and they are not all ICE. As I have said before, if there was cooperation, none of this would need to happen, but of course cooperation would not make for good headlines by the MSM and possibly sway voters to the political leanings of those on the left.

When a law enforcement entity is involved in a shooting, or other incident where a serious injury or death is a result, the investigation is conducted by another entity. In the case of a local LEO, it is usually turned over to the State Police, in the case of the State Police, maybe a large local agency will take the lead, or the FBI, and in the case of ICE, or DHS, probably the FBI, or Secret Service, or maybe even the State Police. You stated the investigation would be conducted by the agent that did the shooting, and that will definitely not be the case. Now you may not trust the other fed agencies (FBI, Secret Service, etc.) right now (I expect you trusted them when Biden was in the WH), but that is how investigations are conducted. Rittenhouse was not actively protesting, but was attacked while attempting to protect a property from the unhinged extreme fascist left that don't care who they hurt or what property they destroy (is that a Constitutional right?) when he was attacked. Clearly self defense. As to the current situation, I have been out-of-touch for a bit and am catching up, so who knows right now. I am not going to call it murder like you at this point. Maybe it was, maybe not, but much like the case of the driver that actually positioned her car to put the agent in front of it giving that agent less than seconds to make a decision, I will let cooler heads prevail and the chips will fall where they fall. You do know there is a reason for a little more activity in Minnesota right? I guess you are fine with massive taxpayer fraud enabled by the state official? Should that be just let go?

Why not pursue a spousal visa?

Yeah, that is not how investigations work, but feel free to believe the first thing you see on X, Bluesky, or from the MSM, I will do my own research. The Rittenhouse analogy just shows how out-of-touch the extremist left are. Rittenhouse was not protesting, he was protecting property from the unhinged extremist left who has no problem with infringing on other’s rights. Lastly, again I will ask (not expecting an answer), why is this just happening in Minneapolis?

Bananas and rice sound good together. Is that cultural appropriation?

The right leaning folks are the problem?

So because she said it on X it is true? Grifters have a way of lying if they see a chance for a payoff. Remember Jussie Smollett? Feel free to contribute to her GFM if you believe her. Btw, where is the story about the 5 yr old being arrested after the father abandoned him in the cold? I hear ICE is being castigated by ABC News for not letting a complete stranger extremist activist take the kid. I am curious, why is this only happening in Minneapolis? ICE is operating all over the country.

What is wrong with a little fraud as long as some of the money ends up in politicians hands?

So a mistake was made because the locals refuse to share information with ICE. One wonders why this only happens in Minnesota and other heavy sanctuary locations, but I will place the blame where it belongs, at the feet of the Democrats and their sanctuary city policies put in place for purely political reasons. As to the current play the left is using about the 4th Amendment, where were they when Obama’s ICE was doing the same thing? Sure, in politics two wrongs, but there is no reason for Republican Administrations to take any high road, they need to use the same tactics the Democrats use. Btw, it is called X now, and didn’t you post something from X about this Somali woman and allude that it must be true? Regardless, I will put more faith in X eventually getting it right, than waiting for MSM to stop reporting in a biased manner, and not correcting themselves with the same vigor when they are found to be wrong. I did love this woman’s monologue regarding bananas and rice, but I won’t be giving her money.

Saw this while on the beach in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Maybe the UK can follow the U.S. lead. Dozens of sanctioned Russian tankers navigate Channel despite UK vow of 'assertive' action https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2d77rr51rko

Seems Mr. Thai may have been harboring some bad folks, but I am sure he was a standup guy. I don’t believe a word of Ms, Ahmed, seems a regular grifter (remember BLM). Immigration enforcement uses final deportation orders. Are you suggesting that these should also go through regular federal courts?

Hmm, why was that? Seems the extremists are mostly on the Left.

Yep, that happened. You do realize people see grift opportunities for those gullible enough to believe what they say at face value.

Why doesn’t the MSM look for the whole story and only insist on reporting one side? Did you ask yourself why ICE was there in the first place? Do you think they are only going door-to-door? Could this guy be charged with aiding and abetting? Maybe that is why he was taken in for questioning?

Did you dig deeper into this or just take it at face value?

Always more to the story. Are the parents bad for leaving the kids in the car to go and protest?
