ICE office shootings in Texas blamed on ‘political rhetoric’
BBC ^ | 8/14/2019

Bullets fired at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices in Texas were a "targeted attack" against federal employees, the FBI has said.

Several shots were fired at around 03:00 local time (08:00 GMT) on Tuesday at the offices in San Antonio.

Two neighbouring buildings came under fire, but no injuries were reported, the FBI said in a statement.

In a statement, ICE blamed the shootings on "political rhetoric" and "misinformation" about the Trump administration's detention policies.

ICE under the Trump administration has been heavily criticised for its treatment of undocumented immigrants held at detention centres near the US-Mexico border.

The FBI said it was "reviewing surveillance footage" as part of its investigation into the shootings.

No arrests have been made and investigators are looking for suspects, according to US media reports.

THIS TIME no one was shot. Next time, they may not be so lucky. There were ICE employees working at the time.

There should be cameras showing the shooter, his car and can follow him to his driveway. Run him through the government facial ID.

Well, I did ask on another thread about this where the FBI was. Now lets see if America’s ‘finest’ can restore some semblance of their reputation...

Two concurrent lying approaches:
“Trump speeches and tweets create violence and mass shootings with guns that all should be confiscated.”

Followed by: “ICE officers shot and killed? They were concentration camp guards of 2019. Somebody did something. Move on.”

That happens when thugs control the MSM narrative and “moderates” go along with it.

Was it the White Guys? You know the FBI said White Guys are the major problem in this country. Maybe it was the White Guys?

IT doesn’t matter who it was. It is always Trump’s fault.

I don’t get it, especiall when our own Congressional members are supporting lawlessness. Why do people think ICE are the bad guys for enforcing the laws Congress made? If Congress doesn’t like their own laws, then they should have the guts to enact laws they can support, and accept the political consequences for those decisions.

From virtue signaling to violence signaling. It’s just a shot away.

And Beauregard fired on Ft Sumter because of political rhetoric too. What’s your point?
