The woman shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday was Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had recently moved to Minnesota.

She was a U.S. citizen born in Colorado and appears to never have been charged with anything involving law enforcement beyond a traffic ticket.

In social media accounts, Macklin Good described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom.” She said she was currently “experiencing Minneapolis,” displaying a pride flag emoji on her Instagram account. A profile picture posted to Pinterest shows her smiling and holding a young child against her cheek, along with posts about tattoos, hairstyles and home decorating.

    At the 21st Century version of the Nuremburg Trials, we will have to justify depriving them of their First Amendment Rights in order to prohibit them from existing. Just about the ONLY justification that could fly would be if they could be proven to be serious National Security Threats to the Sovereignty of The United States.

    A political party that has literally committed treason and sedition on countless occasions and even committed a violent Insurrection on the Capitol of our nation to grab dictatorial power, can OBJECTIVELY be labeled as a SERIOUS National Security Threat, and that is without the discussion about the massive graft that has exploded in the MAGAsphere.

    As a Serious National Security Threat, and their long record of exploiting our government and our citizens, they can be prohibited access to our nation in any way.

      The problem is, the other party seems content to sit mired in beuracracy and precedent, instead of doing somethihg to prevent it from happening in the future.
