DHS Says ICE Agent Shoots Man After Being Ambushed In Minneapolis

ICE busts child rapist and murderer — 70% of agency’s arrests target criminal illegal aliens with prior charges, convictions
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents continue their efforts to remove the most dangerous criminal illegal aliens from American communities.
The Department of Homeland Security highlighted the Tuesday arrests of five illegal aliens in a press release exclusively obtained by Blaze News.
‘What the media and sanctuary politicians do not want the American public to know is 70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the US.’
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of more worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from across the country, including those convicted of first-degree rape of a child, homicide, and arson,” the DHS wrote.
Federal agents captured Eduardo Salgado-Martinez, a Mexican national who was previously convicted of first-degree rape of a child in Benton County, Washington.
A 2019 local news report by KEPR-TV explained that Salgado-Martinez’s charges stemmed from an attack in 1995 but that he spent years on the run. Prosecutors claimed he raped two boys, a 7-year-old and a 6-year-old, whom he was babysitting.
Salgado-Martinez’s brother was found guilty of similar charges.

ICE officers nabbed Fermin Flores-Ramales, also from Mexico, who was convicted of rape in New York City.

“Our ICE law enforcement put their lives on the line every single day to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. Yesterday’s arrests included child rapists, murderers, and arsonists,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.
“What the media and sanctuary politicians do not want the American public to know is 70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. Despite comparisons to the Gestapo and an 8,000% increase in death threats, our officers show up every day and arrest heinous criminals from American communities,” McLaughlin added.

Race-Baiting Lawyers Claim Man’s Life ‘Stolen’ By ICE — Turns Out He Shot At Officer

‘What a clown’: Amid claims that state trooper hit anti-ICE protester with cruiser in middle of road, cops bring the receipts
The Tennessee Highway Patrol said Tuesday that social media posts have alleged that one of its troopers hit an individual on a Memphis street with a cruiser. But the THP said the claims are “false.”
“Have a look for yourself,” the agency said amid its release of a dashcam video of the incident.
‘My God, this just keeps getting even more ridiculous.’
The clip — time-stamped Sunday just after 5 p.m. — shows a male dressed in an orange vest and carrying what appears to be a walkie-talkie exiting an SUV parked sideways on a street and approaching the oncoming state trooper’s vehicle as anti-ICE protesters mingle in the background.
The male raises his arms and blocks the trooper from advancing on the road — as if he were permitted to do so.

What’s more, he wags his finger “no” as if he’s giving the trooper an order — all while the trooper’s cruiser appears to be flashing its lights.
The trooper, as you would expect, is livid and hollers at the male from inside the cruiser: “Move! Get outta my way! Get outta my way! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Get out! Come here!”
But the male not only fails to obey the trooper’s commands, he actually holds on to the front of the cruiser and drops the rest of his body down.

Then he pops back up, wags his finger again, and walks back to the SUV.

The THP in response wrote, “We respect and protect the right of people to protest peacefully. That right, however, does not include entering active roadways or placing themselves in danger.”
The agency added, “In this case, video clearly shows the individual holding onto the front of the trooper’s vehicle, lying down, then standing right back up afterward and leaving the scene under his own power. At no point does the video show the individual being run over or injured, despite the narratives circulating on social media.”
The incident occurred during an “ICE Out for Good” protest by Indivisible Memphis, WSMV-TV reported, following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis last week.
Blaze News reached out to the THP and inquired if the male who blocked the road has been identified. The license plate on the SUV appears to be from Tennessee, and the plate number is clearly visible in the video. However, the THP on Tuesday didn’t immediately respond to Blaze News’ inquiry.
But commenters under the THP’s Facebook post have been letting their views be known loud and clear; as of Tuesday afternoon, about 1,300 — and counting — comments have rolled in. The following are a few of them.
- “Why is beetle juice in the middle of the road?” one commenter asked. “What a clown!”
- “Imagine thinking you have the authority to tell a cop to stop driving,” another user noted.
- “Make batons great again,” another commenter quipped.
- “Why wasn’t he arrested?” another user inquired. “Nobody should have the right to try and get in front of a police officer to cause disruption or stop their vehicle or put their hands on their car. The more these fools find out [there] are real consequences, they may slow down the instigating and getting in officer[s’] faces. That’s not peaceful protest at that point.”
- “Protest all you want, but once you start blocking traffic, that’s when the problem starts with the police,” another commenter said, adding that “some are looking for their 10 minutes of fame … is it worth it???”
- “My God, this just keeps getting even more ridiculous,” another user observed. “Get out of the road; you can still protest, [but] stop getting in the way of traffic! There could be a medical emergency that somebody is trying to tend to, and you are delaying care which could cost somebody’s life! Stop acting like children! STAY ON THE SIDEWALK!!!”
