ICE official, who was sleeping on man’s lawn and appeared ‘intoxicated’, faces felony charges, California police say
A 72-year-old man shot an off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official in California early on Friday morning after the “intoxicated and agitated” official assaulted him and his daughter on their property, local authorities allege.
The Fresno police department said that the ICE official was receiving medical care after being shot in the midsection. The official, identified as David Gonzalez, is facing felony charges for assaulting the father-daughter duo, Fresno police said.
It was not immediately clear for how Gonzalez had been with ICE and what exactly he did for ICE. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE, referred all questions about Gonzalez to Fresno police.
I appreciate your sentiment against violence more than the community at large. While I do hate needless divisiveness, as many others have already said in this instance the person in question made a conscious choice to enact the hateful, barbaric policies of the trump administration as the instrument of violence for personal profit.
We who cherish tolerance must be the most mindful of the tolerance paradox.
I’m not advocating for ICE’s lawlessness nor tolerance for it. I’m just pointing out the stupidity of someone calling out to go murder with next to no context. What I mostly see for comments in this post are people regurgitating talking points and buzz words. Then there are the attacks on me misrepresenting my message or just plain acting like idiots saying nazi, nazi, nazi, … To think, these are the people who consider themselves the more educated side. Funny.
