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.

Needs to get firing squad to set an example

Straight to jail.

This is why journalism still exists in the US for now, and why the regime is trying very hard to kill it.

Good. Shame the fucker survived.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Hopefully he'll be ashamed (not likely) and be fired and have this follow him for the rest of his life. Fuck those ICE thugs!

Shortly thereafter, the daughter’s boyfriend, an off-duty police officer, arrived and placed handcuffs on Gonzalez.

I guess luckily they had a police officer in the family? I can't help but feel like things would have gone quite differently if they didn't have relations with the local police force.

100% it would have gone differently if they didn't have a police officer in the family lol

It should be legal to shoot ice agents, on duty or off, particularly if they, as usual, are masked and not following police procedures. And if the man was afraid for his life, as he definitely should have been if an ice agent was involved, the precedent set by multiple high profile recent cases in other states is that it was legal. I hope that jury finds the same.

Why do they keep using this thumbnail of the caked up Nazi?

Stupid, sexy, fascists

Faces felony charges, but the federal department he works for passed questions to the local authorities.

They dumped him on someone else to avoid accountability. Nice. Sounds like a Trump organization.

This just tells us there are still people in middle management who can’t stomach this shit. (Most people who couldn’t at higher levels have resigned already, and we can all see what’s coming for middle management)

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 64 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

This is best case scenario. Local investigation and charges. Otherwise the feds will block access to to evidence and just say everything was done according to the books

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

The agents last name is Gonzalez. The feds will immediately disown him or throw him under the bus.

Put a bunch of unqualified fascist screw heads in uniforms AND masks. We are just a sad joke.

He's not a cop. He's got some self control, restraint and a general unwillingness to commit murder.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 41 points 14 hours ago

I'd argue killing an ICE agent is closer to pest control.
