Glad to see the Santa Clara County DA is committed to investigating the fatal use of force by ICE if it happens here. He was the first Democrat to openly quit Twitter when Musk took over there.

In the eyes of Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen, the reaction inside the White House to Renee Good’s death earlier this month — and the president’s quick exoneration of the immigration agent who shot her — served as a troubling harbinger for the Bay Area.

“If that’s what they’re doing in Minneapolis, they’re going to do the same thing here,” Rosen said. “What I can say definitively is that my office will independently investigate any fatal use of force by law enforcement. … That is the right thing to do.”
