Mayor Keith Wilson later released a statement, describing the attack as a “deeply disturbing incident.”

Congresswoman Janelle Bynum agrees.

“This is not law enforcement, this is state-sponsored terrorism,” he said in his own statement. ‘Stop making fun of us.

“This is the second shooting this week by agents at the behest of a wannabe dictator seeking to capture and rule cities by striking terror into the hearts of the American people,” Bynum said.

‘When the President sent his guards to our city earlier this year, we told him their presence was unwelcome and unhelpful. Today we saw how dangerous this is; We need these punks gone.’

The shooting comes amid rising tensions across the country following the ICE-involved shooting death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.

The agent responsible, identified as Jonathan ‘Jon’ Ross, was branded a ‘murderer’ by angry Democrats but had the full support of the Trump administration; The Trump administration claimed Good was acting in self-defense when he appeared intent on running him over with his car.

‘[Renee Good] trained against these ICE agents; ‘It’s a very comprehensive training on what to do and what not to do.’

As part of this training, Good allegedly learned to listen to commands and understand his rights.

‘I know you did the right thing. I watched the video many times but I also know in my heart what a woman she was, she was doing everything right,” Leesa said.

In the video, agents can be seen approaching Good’s stationary vehicle, asking him to get out, and when he begins to back up, one of them can be seen pulling the door handle.

Ross stops in front of the car and starts moving forward, drawing his gun and pointing it at Good. He hits her with the car while opening fire. Good’s Honda Pilot crashed nearby and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ross is an ‘experienced’ police officer who suffered horrific injuries while trying to arrest an illegal immigrant sex offender last year.

“He’s the same ICE agent who was dragged in the car 15 feet ago in June, so he has a history,” an FBI agent told the Daily Mail on condition of anonymity.

The FBI agent stated that he did not believe Ross was justified in shooting Good.

‘The first shot is somewhat debatable, but the second and third shots are not.’
