Justice for Keith Porter! An off-duty ICE agent shot and killed Keith Porter from Los Angeles, who was celebrating the coming of the new year by discharging their firearms on New Year’s Eve. The off-duty ICE agent who lived in the same neighborhood as Keith Porter said Porter threatened him, even though Porter, along with his neighbors, was celebrating the new year as is customary all across the country. According to neighbors, the ICE agent never identified themselves, and ignored the fact that many of the neighbors were also discharging their firearms in celebration on New Year’s Eve, and that there was no real threat to the unidentified ICE agent. But of course, we are hearing from the Trump Administration the same old lies and excuses in defense of ICE that we have heard before. Another example of Trump empowering ICE to feel free to shoot to kill at the slightest hint of suspicion, dislike, or annoyance, knowing that Trump would defend them and even pardon them if they are convicted.

Follow to tag when a post is needing context 🤙🏽 Community Demands Accountability at Vigil for Father Killed by Off-Duty ICE Agent — Northridge, Los Angeles — 2025 Keith “Pooter” Porter Jr., 43, a father of two from Compton and Black Lives Matter-LA member, was fatally shot by an unidentified off-duty ICE agent on Dec. 31, 2025, at Village Pointe apartments after the agent heard gunfire, investigated, and claims Porter pointed a rifle at him despite commands to drop it. DHS states Porter fired three rounds as an “active threat,” prompting defensive fire. Advocates and family say Porter was firing celebratory NYE shots into the air (a felony). BLM-LA organized a Jan. 4, 2026, vigil with about 50 attendees, mourning him as kind and encouraging, calling the shooting murder, and demanding the agent’s identification, arrest, and prosecution. Multi-agency investigation underway by LAPD Robbery-Homicide, FBI, DOJ, and HSI; BLM plans meeting with DA Nathan Hochman on Jan. 5 or 6 for federal probe demands.

Ice agent was wrong to kill Porter. Shooting guns into air is irresponsible; people have been killed by stray bullets. If ICE agent was concerned he could’ve called 911, or ask them to stop, citing danger to innocent folks, instead of murdering him. NYE revelers don’t shoot guns

Maxine, You do know that discharging a firearm that way is illegal. The bullet goes up and then comes down and could kill someone.

Shooting a gun in the air is illegal. Are you saying it’s ok because it’s “as is customary “? Defrauding taxpayers appears to be customary in Minnesota, so is that okay in your eyes too?

Killed on New Year’s Eve by an off-duty ICE agent. Branded an “active shooter.” This line breaks me: "He moved to Northridge for love, to be closer to his girlfriend. They planned a small celebration. She left to pick up food—and when she came back, Porter was dead." RIP, Keith.

Don't shoot a gun in the air in celebration of anything. I can't believe we actually have to say this. The bullets come down after they go up and can still kill somebody.

So next NYE, those celebrating should feel free to stand outside the gate of Waters' home and shoot off their guns knowing that her security team will do nothing because she knows they are only celebrating.
