Even if they guy had a gun, it's left to see what actually transpired here. Whether the guy owned the gun, had firearm permit and even if he had a public and/or concealed gun permit.

That's already been revealed by Minnesota Police (thank goodness we at least have some degree of independent investigations going on right now).

1. Only had parking tickets on his criminal record. No other criminal activity.

2. Owned a gun with firearms permit.

3. 36 Years Old, male. EDIT: I misremembered. Its apparently 37 year old male.

Minnesota Police only have jurisdiction inside of Minnesota however. So those four+ ICE shooters just need to leave the state and they're safe. The FBI is required to pursue across state lines.

I'm curious what his immigration status was. IIRC the circuits are split as to whether you can legally own a gun while out of status. One in Illinois recently ruled illegal immigrants do have 2A rights if they are established in the community as a resident; most other courts haven't.

He was a US citizen according to the Minneapolis police chief.

US Citizen with gun permit.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara had a press briefing a few hours ago.

He was an ICE observer, not a target. He was legally carrying a gun, but the object he was "brandishing" was a phone.

A citizen, A vet, and a nurse at the VA.

None of that should really matter here. He didn't have his gun when he was shot the first time. He wasn't moving after the first shot and the 5 shots later were completely unnecessary and dangerous to the general public.

This sort of hair splitting is gross. Even if he illegally possessed the gun, the execution wasn't justified. He was not brandishing and nobody was in danger because of his possession of the gun.

I do agree, however it was the parent of my comment that chose to make a point about them having a permit, bringing up the "hair splitting" point of legal possession. Apparently hair splitting is allowed up until the point someone's interest is piqued about the very topic they brought up. I do find it gross when I can't even ponder about the same damn thing the parent brings up but somehow I'm the bad guy for trying to understand it further.

Based on the history of interactions I’ve had with you, you didn’t have your interest piqued, you were looking for a reason that it could be blamed on the victim for information that the shooter had no way of knowing prior to pulling the trigger.

Don’t “apparently” this crowd when you are obviously JAQing off.

So you made a bad assumption.

I'm pretty sure you're the same guy I told I'm for completely open borders, but somehow you got it in your head I'm trying to make excuses for ICE. I'm also of the opinion that the second amendment also applies to illegal immigrants, though the courts generally don't agree with this. But you decided I said some things you consider "right wing" earlier so I must agree with whatever Trump's Gestapo is doing.

The truth is, I couldn't even wrap my head around why they were even arresting the guy, because I couldn't understand why they were going after someone with a permit, which usually requires legal status. My interest relates to the fact that if the federal courts in his jurisdiction didn't agree out of status had 2A rights, and he had a valid permit and legally owned a gun, it should establish he shouldn't be of interest to ICE.

> So you made a bad assumption.

Nope.

You're asking about the immigration status of a guy we all watched get executed.

JAQ off harder.

You find it unusual to ask about the immigration status of people arrested by those who's entire job is to only arrest people who are out of status?

Him being in-status is damning to ICE, not the victim.

Re:Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapoli... by lovich on Sunday January 25, 2026 @06:17AM (#46753073)
He didn’t get arrested, he got executed.

JAQ off harder.
