A DEEP DIVE — Thoughts From a Competent Lawyer on the Minneapolis ICE Shooting:
1. The left is positively turgid about this INCIDENT. They wanted a shooting and did everything they could to set the conditions that made it inevitable, from the rhetoric of the Democrat politicians to the provocations on the street. One leftist white lady dead is a small price to pay for the martyr they wanted. 2. Note that yesterday (1/6/26), the Democrats changed from “The feds are the Gestapo” to “A zillion federal officers died defending Our Democracy, and we support these heroes- here’s a plaque!” back to “The feds are the Gestapo” the very next day.
3. The law is clear – you can use deadly force against someone threatening you with deadly force. The ICE agent had no duty to retreat. This does not matter to the left and its narrative. You will see many experts with zero actual knowledge of the law opining – including the typically terrible cadre of leftist lawyers.
4. The video is clear that the driver was heading at and came in contact with the ICE agent. He had a right to use deadly force to defend himself. This does not matter to the left and its narrative. The left will do everything it can to keep people from looking at the actual video that shows the incident. It will push video that does not show the incident clearly, as well a perjured or irrelevant witness statements.
5. The leftist narrative will be “Trump’s ICE nazis are literally murdering innocent people.” This will work on Democrats and Republican sissies. Normal people will ask why she did not comply with the officers’ orders and why she drove at a cop. Properly addressed, we can leverage the gross irresponsibility of the Dem pols and communist foot soldiers to defeat their bogus narrative.
6. The corrupt state of Minnesota will “investigate” even though its senior officials have already announced that this was murder, and the ICE agent will be indicted in state court. The feds will remove it to federal court, where the case will fail.
7. There will be a civil suit against the US government and the shooter. It will be heard in federal court. Qualified immunity will apply.
8. The shooter will be doxed and his family threatened by leftists, who will cheer this on.
9. There will be rioting in Minneapolis, probably low-grade, since too much will make the left lose sympathy. If it gets serious, look to Trump to send in the armed forces, perhaps under the Insurrection Act.
10. The anti-ICE direct actions will accelerate. Trump will not back down. There will be a decision point facing to the left: Continue the current level of actions, which will have zero effect, or escalate into (further) attempts to murder ICE agents. Some leftists will embrace escalated violence.
The Administration should focus rigorously on the following key points:
1. ICE was present in Minneapolis doing its job removing dangerous criminals.
2. Democrat politicians are creating a dangerous situation with their rhetoric and caused this incident.
3. Democrat activists have been putting people at risk with their dangerous action and it must stop.
4. The communist woman was ordered to stop but attempted to kill a federal agent, who lawfully defended himself with deadly force. WATCH THE VIDEO.
5. WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM MAKING AMERICA SAFE FORM ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS, INCLUDING FRAUDSTERS.
Below, the second installment of Kurt’s explanation from a competent lawyer. Once again, emphasis mine.
MORE DEEP DIVING — Competent Lawyer Thoughts on the Minneapolis Shooting Pt. 2: Another big danger of this kind of incident is the left’s refusal to apply the law as it is to the facts as they are documented on video. As was pointed out to me, this is very similar to the Kyle Rittenhouse situation. The law of self-defense is clear. It’s ancient. The rules are set down, and there is ample precedent to rely on. The fact pattern here similar to the Rittenhouse incident. The law is also similar. Yet the left misconstrued both situations.
The facts about today’s shooting are there on video. They are not subject to good-faith dispute as to the events relevant to a claim of self-defense. Rittenhouse was attacked by a guy with a Glock, as well as others with weapons. Here, everyone agrees this woman accelerated her car in the direction of the police officer and struck him. Applying the law of self-defense should be simple; it only gets complicated if you are trying to avoid a result you don’t want it.
So, we get two lines of argument from the left. The first is to misstate the law of self-defense. They accept the facts but falsely claim that the facts do not justify invoking self-defense. For example, here, we get arguments that the woman was trying to drive away, though under the law of self-defense, her intent is irrelevant. The analysis is what a reasonable cop would have thought in his position. What she thought doesn’t matter.
The second line of argument is to deny the facts, including facts clearly shown on the videotape. We saw that here with people insisting, despite pictures of bullet holes in the windshield and the front of the side mirror, that the police officer was firing into the side window in an effort to deny that he was in the path of the vehicle. Or the facts are minimized. The woman struck the police officer; what we hear is that he was only winged, as if he would’ve had to have been killed before the right to self-defense had arisen.
All this is in the service of the leftist narrative, which is crafted to create a martyr to advance the leftist agenda. But what this does is eliminate the ability to resolve disputes and determine the truth through the legal process. How can you guide yourself to conform with a law that is a kind of Calvinball – it is what it needs to be to support a leftist narrative. And how can you not break the law if facts showing you did not break the law are ignored, especially facts that are right there on video? This is a serious problem. You can’t have a society with civil rights when you can’t rely on due process grounded in fixed laws and the determination of objective facts. When one side dispenses with a justice system and replaces it with a social justice system that determines guilt by narrative necessity, the other side will dispense with a justice system, too. Then you have a system based on power. And as we saw today, it’s the guys with the guns that have the power. The left ought to think very long and hard about this.
And now, a comment from me. Kurt also notices that Leftists are very free with a narrative, changing details when it suits them and improves their own narrative. Leftists will literally state something baldly, in front of the cameras for all to hear, then in two minutes deny they ever said it, and expect you to believe them. That’s how they go through all of life, building their own, mostly false, narrative. The only reason they can do this is that they have the legacy media covering for them. If the media cease covering for them, or cease to exist at all, everything they have constructed will come crashing down.
No further comment is necessary.

“The left ought to think very long and hard about this.“
Left? Think? On what planet does that take place?
The ‘wife’ of the deceased driver has apparently admitted publicly that she made the driver come down to protest ICE – if captured on video (and it apparently was) this would be an admission against interest admissible in court by the defense to show the driver’s intent was to impede ICE, thus by trying to get away in the car after being ordered out, she was obstructing justice and by doing so in a way that endangered the ICE agent she created the situation that resulted in her death
The Left does not Think…It emotes. They are all emotional …dangerous retards. The Commies called them “useful idiots”.
Ooh, you read my mind! Those are my exact words! The Left operates entirely on Feelings.
