Almost certainly they are frantically looking for a way to blame this shooting on Israel as a way of maintaining unity in their coalition.
I think I'd appreciate a bit of an elaboration here, because this is beyond crazy for the crazies I know.

Conversely, if Minneapolis had been ATF "rounding up illegal gun owners" and shot someone in a car with a MAGA bumper sticker, all other facts remaining the same...

The primary argument I know is "Babbit (and the rest of the protestors) were actively engaged in violence (see also: the one officer who was struck in the head with a heavy object), and therefore Babbit was shot in self-defence (usually accompanied by a photo of protestors inside the Capitol with fists raised looking angry), whereas Good was at no point attempting to harm the officer, and even though he was probably out of the way of the car (especially when he fired the shots), he at the very least put himself in harm's way."
Is it accurate to the situation on the ground, in either case? I haven't looked at any videos of either, and I'm sure the exact opposite argument is made in circles I don't really frequent. I'm merely summarizing/aggregating the argument I see most often.

That's Alberic's, right? Across the Sea from Louen and the Enchantress?
There's plenty of evidence, just usually in the form of "breaking news story about a citizen being detained" or "someone arrested by ICE when their family says everything was in order" or "person deported for 20-year-old bad check that they'd already paid a fine for". You may not be seeing these stories, and wouldn't give them a thought if you did, but they're out there and all over the place.
