DOJ: Investigate the Widow, Not the ICE Agent Who Killed Her Husband
When an ICE agent shoots and kills a motorist, the Department of Justice’s primary concern, according to this report, isn't justice for the dead or accountability for the shooter, but rather… investigating the widow? Several career prosecutors, including a Trump-appointed former US attorney, quit in Minnesota over this demand, citing ethical concerns. Because apparently, grieving spouses raising
questions about an extrajudicial killing are a bigger threat than agents who perform extrajudicial killings. This isn't about upholding the law; it's about chilling dissent and protecting the state, no matter the cost. One might wonder if the DOJ would be so eager to investigate the widow of an Israeli settler if a Palestinian had killed her husband. The selective application of 'justice' here
isn't just chilling, it’s a blueprint for harassment, transforming victims into suspects to deflect from state violence.
