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.

    Faces felony charges, but the federal department he works for passed questions to the local authorities.

    They dumped him on someone else to avoid accountability. Nice. Sounds like a Trump organization.

    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?

    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.

      He’s not a cop. He’s got some self control, restraint and a general unwillingness to commit murder.

          They’re human. They represent the worst of humanity, but dehumanizing is their game, and it’s best not to play it.

            Mmm nope, gonna have to disagree. Your statement is a demonstration of the paradox of tolerance in action.

            Any ICE agent, at any time, can choose to no longer be an ICE agent. The people that ICEatzgruppen are targeting and repressing and brutalizing and deporting and killing cannot choose to not be targeted.

            Fascists should be scared for their lives, always. The fact that they aren’t anymore, and haven’t been for at least a decade now, is a big part of how we got here.

        I’ve been counselled to make sure if you ever have to shoot someone that you empty the clip into them, as it implies you were pannicked , in fear for your life, and and not in control of the situation.

            oh no, did I get the term wrong. So… I’m not a gun guy and am unlikely to become one. I dont really care what the proper term is. If you want to shake your head that I’m not getting your terminology correct then you’re as bad as the trekkies who pshaw people and say, “theres not even a warp core conduit going throygh that part of the ship”. I just dont care.

      Yeah, honestly I’m surprised with how many gun happy people there are and tend to be anti authority to some degree. I feel like they wouldn’t put up with a lot. Which in this case I’d high five them lol.

        That’s why they’ve been targeting demographics with low gun ownership. They’re well aware of that possibility.

      A shocking percentage of American gun owners put little effort into learning basic marksmanship.
