7:40Now PlayingICE violence context after shootings in Portland and Minneapolis as Dr. Allan Lichtman examines the broader pattern of deadly force linked to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. This clip explains why these incidents are not isolated events, but part of a documented history of ICE-perpetrated violence and terror in U.S. communities.
Lichtman details how multiple people have been shot and killed by ICE agents, with dozens more ICE shootings reported nationwide. He challenges claims that ICE targets the “worst of the worst,” citing research showing that roughly 70% of those detained by ICE have no criminal convictions, while most others were charged only with minor offenses. Studies from the National Institute of Justice and the Cato Institute show that undocumented immigrants commit violent crime at lower rates than native-born Americans.
The discussion also addresses false public statements made by Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and JD Vance following the killing of Renee Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three. Lichtman breaks down how officials attempted to shift blame, dehumanize the victim, and justify the shooting despite video evidence contradicting their claims.
This clip places ICE shootings within the wider context of immigration enforcement, political rhetoric, and the consequences of using fear-based narratives to excuse violence against civilians.
