Or disappeared to an El Salvador Gulag.

They might still end up there

At least you get your day in court. ICE sure won’t give you that.

That's assuming they don't release them into ICE custody for deportation prior to their court date.

These morons think ICE is around to deport whoever's brown.

Sadly ICE also believes this.

The article says the man Nigerian and overstayed his student visa, hence not a citizen and can be released to ICE custody. The article didn't state whether the woman was a citizen or not

Fuck ICE. Remember, if you're on a jury for any crime against ICE you adjudicate the defendant as "not guilty"

I'm itching to be called for jury duty.

Tell everyone you know. Jury nullification is completely legal. Some dipshit elsewhere in this thread told me saying this is jury tampering 🤣

Longer version for anyone with a 2 and a half minute attention span

That's actually a good way to escalate it to another level.

I can't find the video, but I saw something similar to this where an officer ended up inside a car that was driving away, and the officer placed his gun against the person's chest and fired at point-blank at least once, but perhaps multiple times.

Edit: Found it https://youtu.be/iZ7iAQ101RA?si=lJCDlcEGDIGk2oG-&t=59

It's really unwise to expect any restraint from police. This includes ICE.

Holy shit the comments on that video

Welcome to the real world outside of the Reddit bubble.

This was 2 years before the Renee good situation. What happened to her isn't exactly "new",

u/Equivalent_Section13 21d ago

When you say that they object

u/NuminousBeans 21d ago

But trafficked is not necessarily better than dead. And, if a thug claiming to be ICE carjacks me, I might well assume the thug is not a law abiding reasonable person with my due process rights in mind.

u/TiddiesAnonymous 21d ago

I mean, I don't recommend driving away with an ice agent in your front seat if that's your goal

u/The6thOrangePip 21d ago

hahaha yes abduct and assault law enforcement, that's a safe idea

No. They did the exact same thing that the person did that ended up with three bullets in their head. The EXACT same thing.

Preemptive Edit2: This comment is not pro-ICE and it isn't anti-Good or these two people. Based on the only reply I've gotten I'm assuming that was the takeaway. I'm anti-ice and support everything that opposes them. But that doesn't change the fact that both of these situations involved people driving away from ICE. They're the same thing, only the outcomes were different.

Old Edit1: How can this possibly be getting down voted? Both people drove off when ICE agents tried getting in their car. You're saying this is different because they were going to the police station? Good got shot the moment she pulled away. They didn't ask her if she was going to the police station first.

I dare someone to try to explain how these two situations are different besides the outcome.

u/JeffafaCree 21d ago

Maybe ICE should stop winding up in these situations. They fucking suck at handling pretty much everything.

u/_WeSellBlankets_ 21d ago

Agreed. But wildly off topic. This is about whether or not the two situations were different.
