Man fleeing immigration agents is fatally struck by a vehicle on a Virginia highway

Agents tried to detain Castro Rivera and the three other passengers, and he fled on foot, tried to cross Interstate 264 in Norfolk and was fatally struck, according to state and federal authorities.

DHS blamed Castro Rivera’s death on “a direct result of every politician, activist and reporter who continue to spread propaganda and misinformation about ICE’s mission and ways to avoid detention.”

part of a “targeted, intelligence-based” operation
Someone ratted him out.
- Not necessarily, ICE is now monitoring social media to identify and target illegal immigrants. If your account is already flagged as one, a simple public post with tagged location can be enough for an "intelligence based operation".
  Be safe out there, try to not leave any public trace.
  
  I’m not disagreeing with you, but if they were targeting him specifically it’s probably likely that another employee turned to him in. It happens all the time.
- Cause we know everything out of this admin's mouth is the truth right?
- As opposed to dumbness based like they usually do?
  
  Right. No magical tracking of the brown people, just an asshole coworker.
I feel paralyzed. I am sick and we have been protesting for months with no real results.
- That's because peaceful protests don't stop fascism. The fascists don't care.
- Fascists have never historically given up power peacefully, unfortunately
- Unfortunately, peaceful protest isn't the action necessary to deal with nazis.
  
  falling right into the russian trap i see
- You're not alone. I'm beyond despair at the daily disregard for all civility. The only thing which hurts more is the passivity of the people I once knew.
- That is exactly where the orange tumors handlers want you to be.

I'm always amazed how bodies can keep piling up and nobody really cares in the US. What does it take before society as a whole says "enough!"? A lot, apparently.
- nobody really cares in the US
  We just had the largest protest in our country’s history, are you confused?
  
  Yeah, I'd take issue with the idea that nobody really cares.
  Nobody in power cares, but that's not the same.
  
  For one whole day too! We all deserve a cookie!
- Remember, the US, while likes to sell itself as the "sole winner of WW2", the "main force that beat the Nazis", actually profited off the war by selling equipment to both the Allies and Axis powers, and had regular Nazi marches that largely went by unprotested, up until Pearl Harbor.
  So, what does it take for the US to stand up in unity?
  A clear-cut attack against the US as a whole.
  
  You mean like ICE?
- As an outside it’s is bizarre to see, esp against the rhetorical image of the American we have seen in the last 50 years.
  I understand that any violence will be used against protestors and I feel that unfortunately as any peaceful protest is blatantly ignored (at this points it’s almost being mocked), violence is likely to occur.
  Question is what is the line? It’s not abuse of minorities, it’s not protection of the greedy, it’s not personal privacy.
  
  As an insider it’s bizarre. There’s a lot of fear here, and it’s exacerbated by the fact that there’s a large and very vocal, and very violent minority who is intermixed throughout the populace. That minority is being coaxed on to violence by the oligarchy, actively.
  Then we have the “prodding outsiders” who believed the American exceptionalism propaganda exports, and are now shoving that in our faces goading us on “why won’t you be the first to stand up and get shot in the face? Why won’t your heroes DO anything?!”
  Because most of us are kind, gentle, very tired people who are probably waiting for this to all “blow over” which likely won’t happen by itself.
  Thanks for your concern I guess.

  It's definitely just a rhetorical image. Growing up here, it's maddening to grow up with the morals we ascribe to, then to endlessly see how they don't play exist in practice
And the blood on Trumps hands continues to grow.
GOP: "Mission Accomplished"
Federal authorities and state police gave his first name as Jose, but family members said it was Josué. DHS and state police did not explain the discrepancy.
Who care, close enough, right Mrs. Noem?
I'm running out of words for these situations.
I wonder do they still get their bonus? Probably get some extra knowing how corrupt they are.
Trump supporters: Good!
Others: Let's keep peacefully protesting and posting our dissent online, that'll show them!
Narrator: But it didn't show them, and the US collapsed.
