I.C.E.

Unethical Speech of the Month, and Probably the Year: Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey (D)

/ Jack Marshall / 36 Comments

Unlike President Trump, DFH and Jacob Frey, I am not going to comment on what really happened that resulted in a “middle-aged white woman” being shot and killed by an I.C.E. officer after she deliberately used her vehicle to impede law enforcement activities.
