Lyons said in a written statement that officers conducted a traffic stop Tuesday in Patterson, which is about 80 miles south of Sacramento, “to arrest Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, an 18th Street Gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection to a murder.”
Lyons stated that when officers approached his car, Mendoza Hernandez “weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run an officer over.” Officers then fired what Lyons described as defensive shots.
Mendoza Hernandez was subsequently hospitalized. It is unclear how many times he was shot or what his condition is currently. ICE declined to provide further information on Mendoza Hernandez, in response to a question by a reporter for The Sacramento Bee.
ICE agents have been involved in at least six other shootings this year.
So crazy I did not need to open this to know they were talking about ICE

What makes that even a little bit crazy? They, unlike any other group in the US, have been referred to specifically with the phrase “fascist paramilitary invaders” countless times over the last few months. It’s crazy that ICE did everything they’ve done, but it’s not crazy at all you recognized it.
You saw the epithet they’ve been referred to as, saw it’s in the US, and, like, yeah, obviously. Even if you’d never seen the epithet, what other possible organization would make you think “paramilitary” and “invaders” – not the formal military and from outside California.
Our communities are being invaded by a privately funded fascist paramilitary loyal to the executive branch.
The US-SS.
What the actual fuck??
