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.

    How could they even tell he was off duty? He wasn’t behaving any differently to when he’s at work.

    Maybe less tacti-cool gear?

    “Gonzales” is a hell of a last name for a hired ethnic cleanser in California.

    I absolutely love the comments here. On cucked Reddit this would have been locked and nearly all comments deleted. I got permabanned there a couple days ago for going off on Russia and their stupid plague situation. Of course, I had previous bans, one of which was for wishing these Chinese kids, that killed those beloved village dogs a while ago, the absolute worst mob justice imaginable.

    Anyway, fuck ICE, keep firing at the bastards.

      all those in PA remember one thing. If you vote for Frank Pastella and the rest of the republicans, you vote to let Pastella rape your kids. Vote no to Republikkkans like Frank Pastella to keep their dicks outside of your children’s bodies. even cucks should be smart enough to keep nazi dicks out of their children’s bodies.

    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.

      Honestly, since ICE agents don’t provide any kind of id when asked, we shouldn’t refer to them as ICE agents, because that’s really unconfirmed. It would be more appropriate to say “masked man dressed as ICE agent”, because we can’t actually know that they’re an official rather than a criminal in a costume. And obviously, the correct and rational response to being assaulted or harassed by someone in a mask is to treat them like a criminal, and defend yourself appropriately.

    There are more of us than them at any given time. It’s not illegal to kill your local ICE agents. Make them fear waking up in the morning.
