ICE official, who was sleeping on man’s lawn and appeared ‘intoxicated’, faces felony charges, California police say

A 72-year-old man shot an off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official in California early on Friday morning after the “intoxicated and agitated” official assaulted him and his daughter on their property, local authorities allege.

The Fresno police department said that the ICE official was receiving medical care after being shot in the midsection. The official, identified as David Gonzalez, is facing felony charges for assaulting the father-daughter duo, Fresno police said.

It was not immediately clear for how Gonzalez had been with ICE and what exactly he did for ICE. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees ICE, referred all questions about Gonzalez to Fresno police.

      Yeah, honestly I’m surprised with how many gun happy people there are and tend to be anti authority to some degree. I feel like they wouldn’t put up with a lot. Which in this case I’d high five them lol.

        That’s why they’ve been targeting demographics with low gun ownership. They’re well aware of that possibility.

    I absolutely love the comments here. On cucked Reddit this would have been locked and nearly all comments deleted. I got permabanned there a couple days ago for going off on Russia and their stupid plague situation. Of course, I had previous bans, one of which was for wishing these Chinese kids, that killed those beloved village dogs a while ago, the absolute worst mob justice imaginable.

    Anyway, fuck ICE, keep firing at the bastards.

    “Gonzales” is a hell of a last name for a hired ethnic cleanser in California.

    There are more of us than them at any given time. It’s not illegal to kill your local ICE agents. Make them fear waking up in the morning.

        No I didn’t. Can’t be charged with a crime when there’s no one left to report it.

        Make Homeland Security start naming their “officers” after they’re dead. Spoiler alert, they won’t because the majority of them are J6ers, formerly dismissed cops, or convicted felons. No way Homeland will admit to hiring the absolute worst people for upholding immigration enforcement.

          They admit it all the time. They’re proud of it. It’s how fascists brag about the power they’ve amassed.

    Shortly thereafter, the daughter’s boyfriend, an off-duty police officer, arrived and placed handcuffs on Gonzalez.

    I guess luckily they had a police officer in the family? I can’t help but feel like things would have gone quite differently if they didn’t have relations with the local police force.

        Yeah the blue line is wobbly on this one so whoever does cop optics first wins.

    Faces felony charges, but the federal department he works for passed questions to the local authorities.

    They dumped him on someone else to avoid accountability. Nice. Sounds like a Trump organization.

      This is best case scenario. Local investigation and charges. Otherwise the feds will block access to to evidence and just say everything was done according to the books

      This just tells us there are still people in middle management who can’t stomach this shit. (Most people who couldn’t at higher levels have resigned already, and we can all see what’s coming for middle management)
