The gentleman who ICE hauled without cause out of his home in his underwear into the icy Minnesota winter (after terrifying his 5-year-old grandson) was from Laos, one of the Hmong hill tribes people of the then-Kingdom of Laos.
You should know a bit about the background of those people.

This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.
Some thoughts on this here:

Maybe I'm a big dumb dumb, but everything else aside, if you shoot and kill the person driving a car towards you, isn't the car going to keep going towards you with no possibility of breaking or swerving? Like, that's exactly what happened after Ross shot Good.

A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church β a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality β recounts being detained by ICE.
Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting βwe are not afraid.β
The agent, he says, raised his gun and said βare you afraid now?β

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS:
SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.
You can draw a draw a straight line from a right wing YouTuber's unverified viral video about Somali American daycares to ICE showing up in Minneapolis to this killing.
This feels like a galvanizing moment for the city in the same way George Floyd's death was five years ago.
