Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the F.B.I. would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute Department of Homeland Security agents implicated in violent encounters, according to people briefed on the decision.
If enacted, such a change would sharply limit law enforcement scrutiny of immigration agents, as the Trump administration draws mounting criticism over killings at the hands of federal officers. In the last two weeks, two fatal shootings by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Texas and Maine have thrust the government’s tactics back into the spotlight.
F.B.I. managers around the country received a written notice informing them of the change on Thursday, according to the people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal communications. The same day, some ICE agents around the country were notified by their F.B.I. counterparts.
I’m not in the US.
You all need to get your shit together.
Two things:
The US isn’t the only place in the world - even the western world - that’s dealing with the rise of fascism (even if the US is presently leading that race).
The US is eager to export it’s current brand of fascism.
If you think this is a US-only problem, you’re gonna have a bad time.
The fascism part is world wide but the FBI not investigating ICE is 110% a US-Only problem as no other country has FBI or ICE but their own equivalents.
I hear what you are saying, but while elected fascism is on the rise everywhere, the lawlessness of it all seems to be mostly confined to the USA.
Not even Putin has peaceful protesters murdered on the open street with cameras rolling, and then refuse to investigate, hinder other people’s investigation, and brazenly lie about the victim having used their vehicle as a weapon.
Where ever you are, I’m sure you need to get yours together as well. I guarantee you there are extremists in your government.
