Greg Jarrett on Domestic Terrorism, ICE Shooting, and Probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell

Legal Definition of Domestic Terrorism

• 🎯 Domestic terrorism is legally defined as violence driven by extreme political ideologies aimed at affecting government conduct through coercion and criminal acts.
• 💡 A vehicle can be considered a deadly weapon if weaponized to harm a federal officer, especially if motivated by political disagreement with law enforcement actions like ICE enforcing the law.
• 🔍 The database contains numerous cases where vehicles have been used in acts of domestic terrorism.

Minnesota ICE Shooting Incident

• ⚠️ New video evidence suggests the individual involved in the Minnesota ICE shooting was stalking and impeding a law enforcement operation.
• ⚡ The officer involved was reportedly hit by the individual's vehicle, which was then described as being weaponized, leading the officer to defend his life and those around him.
• ⚖️ Under the law, there is no excuse for resisting or fleeing law enforcement, especially when accelerating a vehicle towards an officer, triggering the right to use lethal force if the officer reasonably believes their life is in danger.
• 🚗 Minnesota law specifically permits officers to use deadly force by shooting at an oncoming vehicle.

Probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell

• 🏦 Federal prosecutors in Washington D.C. have opened a criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell concerning allegations of dishonesty to the Senate Banking Committee regarding the costs of renovations for two buildings.
• 💰 The renovations reportedly involved extravagant amenities and a significant cost overrun, with the Fed blaming inflation for the increased expenses.
• ⚖️ While grand jury subpoenas have been issued, this does not guarantee criminal charges will follow.
• 🛡️ A potential defense for Powell could be retribution or selective prosecution, similar to defenses used in other high-profile cases.
