Three attacks in just the past couple of weeks because of what Trump and Isreal are doing in the Middle East.

Students killed ODU shooter, who shouted 'allahu akbar' before opening fire: FBI
CBS News is reporting that the shooter was identified as former Virginia National Guardsman Mohamed Bailor Jalloh. The FBI says this incident is being investigated as a terror-related attack.
CBS News reports that Jalloh was walking around Constant Hall and asked if he arrived at an ROTC class, a law enforcement source told CBS News. When someone responded that it was, the shooter opened fire, fatally injuring the class instructor, who was a retired Army officer.
FBI Director Kash Patel would later confirm on social media that Jalloh was subdued by "a group of brave students."…”

They didn’t shoot him. Wonder if they beat him to death.

That’s what I inferred from the odd phrasing.

I thought Trump was going to get rid of all the violent illegals. Instead ICE is too busy harassing anyone with brown skin, killing Americans and arresting and deporting people with no criminal record.

Agree.
The collapse of bipartisan immigration reform: A guide for the perplexed | Brookings
Brookings Senior Fellow William Galston explains why Republicans failed to support the bipartisan immigration bill.
www.brookings.edu
The team negotiated for four months to produce this bill. It took less than four days for its support among Republicans to collapse. Why?
The easiest explanation is that Republicans in both the House and Senate yielded to objections from their all-but-certain presidential nominee, former president Donald Trump. Once the House Speaker stated publicly that he would not allow the Senate bill to reach the House floor for a vote, Republican senators were unwilling to run the political risk of supporting a measure that would not become law.
However, there are deeper reasons for the deadlock over immigration. The last comprehensive immigration reform was enacted almost four decades ago, during Ronald Reagan’s presidency. This bill represented a grand bargain between elected officials who sought to extend legal protection to millions of migrants who had entered the U.S. illegally and officials who were most concerned about stemming the flow of such migrants. The bill accomplished the former but had no discernible impact on the latter, leading many conservatives to denounce it as an “amnesty” bill.
This history colored the next two decades of efforts to pass immigration reform legislation. In President George W. Bush’s second term, two such efforts failed after encountering a crossfire of objections from both the left and the right. The best chance to enact comprehensive reform came in 2013 during President Barack Obama’s second term, when a bipartisan group of senators dubbed the “Gang of Eight” agreed on a bill that would toughen security at the southern border and make it harder for employers to hire migrants who had entered the U.S. illegally while providing legal status and a path to citizenship for millions of such migrants who had resided in the U.S. for many years. The proposal passed the Senate 68 to 32 with strong bipartisan support. But because it did not enjoy the support of a majority of House Republicans, then-Speaker John Boehner refused to bring it to floor for a vote, and the measure died.
