(NewsNation) — Paul Rieckhoff, host of the “Independent Americans” podcast and U.S. Army veteran, told NewsNation that it was “only a matter of time before someone got killed,” in reference to the death of a 37-year-old woman who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Rieckhoff said that he’s surprised “something like this” didn’t happen sooner, pointing to what he describes as a lack of “discipline” and unwarranted “aggression” from ICE agents in recent months.
“I will argue as a former military person … ICE is too aggressive, I think they’re too combative, I think they’re too everywhere and I think they’re too undisciplined,” Rieckhoff added.

Rieckhoff suggests the country take a collective “deep breath,” warning that the shooting “has the potential to be a tipping point that could rip our country apart in a way that’ll have our enemies celebrating.”…
