Robert Reich: *If agents of the federal government can murder a 37-year-old woman in broad daylight who, as videotapes show, was merely trying to get out of their way, they can murder you.
Even if Trump and his vice president and his secretary of homeland security all claim, contrary to the videotapes, that Renee Macklin Good was trying to kill an agent who acted in self-defense, they could make up the same about you.
Even if Trump describes her as a “professional agitator” and his goons call her a “domestic terrorist,” they could say the same about you regardless of your political views or activism. If you have left-wing political views and are an activist, you’re in greater danger.
How can we believe what the FBI turns up in its investigation, when the FBI is working for Trump and is headed by one of his goons, and is investigating possible connections between Renee Good and groups that have been protesting Trump’s immigration enforcement?*
When a corrupt and dishonest president packs government agencies with his corrupt and dishonest henchmen, everything they say and everything they do becomes suspect.

Journalist Laura Jedeed applied for a job with the deportation thugs, expecting to write a story later about the process and how they rejected her for what their background investigation would reveal about her politics. But they did not bother to investigate — they accepted her even though she had not actually even filled out the forms.
She is concerned that they may be accepting all sorts of violent criminals without bothering to check.
