Two weeks ago, ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Nicole Good in cold blood. I said then that we had to abolish ICE and impeach Trump & Noem before they incited another murder.

As more details have emerged, it’s only looked worse. Multiple angles of video showed Good was trying to avoid hitting anyone. Ross, stupidly, stepped in front of her vehicle to film her license plate. The video shows her backing up and turning away from him.

Now the gunshot evidence reveals it was even worse than we knew. Of the three shots Ross fired, only one was fatal: one fired well after her car was clear of him, shooting through the side window. He executed her as she drove away.

The administration lied. They claimed she was aiming to harm ICE agents when she was doing no such thing. They called her a domestic terrorist.

Then Tom Homan made a promise. He claimed that if people didn’t stop calling ICE and CBP murderers, they were just going to have to murder again.

In case anyone hasn't seen it, this is the video of Pretti's execution side-by-side with Kristi Noem's description of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QF-zWPbuLI
