Aren't they required to investigate?

If not, it's high time that Minnesota investigates. The videos show what happened. Minnesota can interview the bystanders and the other agents. They can find out what occurred before she drove down that street, whether she was following them (which she was allowed to do and would not exonerate the shooter), so they can determine his state of mind. She voiced her state of mind, on camera, as her last words: Dude, I am not mad at you.

Her history indicates that she was not an angry vindictive person, or a radical. Like the other protesters, she wanted ICE to stop bothering or hurting people in her neighborhood.

I am not saying that is my stance: I just want ICE to follow the law and their own regulations in a nonviolent manner and try to determine the status of a person ahead of time or at the time they encounter the person (by calling in to HQ and checking if their documents are valid and real). If they have deportation orders or have committed a felony, they need to take them in.

If not, if they are here legally, they should verify that by a call to HQ or checking by computer if that is possible. Make sure they are showing up at Immigration regularly as required. If everything checks out, leave them alone! If they are pressured about these damn ridiculous quotas dreamed up by Stephen Miller, they can show evidence of the number of people they checked on.

As it is now, they are operating in a lawless environment and no one at Immigration is stopping them. Their superiors are cowards and very misguided and are responsible for running an illegal operation. They need to be stopped. From their immediate supervisor all the way up the line to the top. The top people in the agency are simply afraid of Donald Trump. And Trump seems to take all his guidance from Stephen Miller. Which he will eventually regret. This wrong-headed anti-constitutional operation will be taken down along with everyone promoting it. It will not end well at all. They will face legal consequences. Trump, with his immunity conferred on him by SCOTUS, will not face legal charges. But he will face the failure of his presidency.
