"Officer Whatzizname Has Been Placed on Administrative Leave..."

I was trying to find some news report that said that about ANY ICE agent or other secret federal police officer. For example: Where is the person who shot Ms. Good, the woman in Minneapolis, three times? What is his name? Where is he?

In fact, what is the name of any of those federal officers who have brutalized someone? We don't know. We've never been told the name of anyone working for ICE or whatever other group is doing Trump's will.

Where are they? Who are they? Name them. Tell us they are under investigation.

of any of the involved officers. The MN BCA will supposedly be participating in the investigation but the feds will likely bigfoot them and prevent them from doing anything meaningful.

Again, I am not promoting vigilante actions, but this man is a murderer and he should not escape justice. He is entitled to have his side of the story heard, entitled to counsel, entitled to a fair investigation. But he is NOT entitled to slip away in the night and not be held accountable for killing someone, especially an American citizen.

Nobody has been "put on administrative leave." I've learned that you can't count on amateur IDs right away. They've been incorrect all too often.

I'm sure we'll find out the name, but not from the authorities. They're keeping it under their hats, I imagine.

More of that going on, I imagine than anyone expects. If you were found guilting of a January 6 act and pardoned by Trump, you get 70 points automatically when you apply for ICE. Or something like that.

What he did was so egregious that, if arrested, he stood a very good chance of being convicted for 2nd degree murder, or at least manslaughter.
A very bad optic for ICE indeed, so cosplay Kristi would want him out of the way real quick.
And, at the very least, that'd make her a candidate for obstruction of justice charges.

ICE needs to be dismantled.

Assuming this was an actual federal law enforcement action, he could be prosecuted by the feds (not likely)... but would probably be immune from any state prosecution.

ICE is operating out of Ft. Snelling, I understand. Right next to the airport. We have an Air National Guard base at MSP, actually. Lots of planes in and out. They're also transported people who get detained. "Pick 'em up, ship 'em out!"

He walked halfway around the victim's car looking at his phone screen as he was apparently video recording the car. I do not think he was focused on the situation. He was not discerning what constitutes a threat and what does not. For all we know, he was live streaming on Facebook in order to impress his friends.

It’s really stupid to be in front or behind a vehicle in that situation. Hell, I’m weary of cars backing out in parking lots.

He was chomping at the bit.

20. ICE Has Been Granted the Same Level of Secrecy as the FBI
Thu Jan 8, 2026, 10:27 AM

I’m not familiar with this organization but I found this.

Published:
July 14, 2020

In a blow to government transparency, the Trump administration has decided to designate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a “security/sensitive agency.” The move further shields ICE from public accountability, allowing them to withhold even more information.

According to a leaked government memo, the Trump administration granted ICE’s request to be designated a “security/sensitive” agency when it comes to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The designation limits the public’s ability to obtain vital information about ICE. Now, the agency and its personnel will be less accountable to the public.

Previously, some information about ICE officials in “sensitive” occupations—such as field agents or law enforcement officers—would be withheld but other information could be released in response to FOIA requests. That changes with the designation, granting protections that arguably are not within the statutory exemptions outlined in FOIA.

The memo claims that the designation ensures that “all relevant personally identifiable information (PII) of all ICE personnel” will be withheld, or redacted, when processing FOIA requests. PII includes information like names, duty stations, and salaries.
