Minnesota ICE shooting puts new twist on gun rights debateListen to this articleGregory Bovino, the US Customs and Border Patrol commander at large, says that a Minnesota man who was killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis on Saturday was armed and intended to "do maximum damage." "We can't have individuals that are impeding law enforcement operations and then showing up with guns and weapons and no ID, and confronting law enforcement," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on "Fox News Sunday." Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino said Saturday that "this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement." A rare dissenting voice in the Republican camp of politicians, congressman Thomas Massie, joined in on criticizing federal law enforcement. "If you don't understand this you have no business in law enforcement or government."
