CLARA CITY, Minn. (WCCO) - A young couple from Minnesota are helping to save lives through organ donation after they died in a crash with an allegedly drunken driver traveling the wrong way on the interstate.
The parents of 19-year-old Brady Heiling and 18-year-old Hallie Helgeson are remembering their children as kind, generous and an inspiration to others. The young couple died in July after a driver, who was allegedly drunk and traveling the wrong way, crashed into them as they returned home from a concert.
Brady’s mother, Jen Heiling, says he loved life, including football, track and his girlfriend.

These young teens were killed by an illegal alien drunk driver protected by the State of Minnesota, a "sanctuary state". Did the Governor attend vigils for them? Did thousands of progressives take to the streets to protest the policies that enabled their murder?
OF course not. The story was a local blip. Just another couple kids killed by illegal aliens who Democrats care more about protecting than they they do kids like them.
What actually enrages progressives and causes them to lose their minds?
A government agency enforcing immigration and deporting people like who were caugt so far during the Minnessora ICE surge:
Sriudorn Phaivan, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of strong-arm sodomy of a boy & strong-arm sodomy of a girl with a deportation order since 2018.
Tou Vang, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of sexual assault and sodomy of a girl under age 13 and procuring a child for prostitution with a deportation order since 2006.
Chong Vue, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of the strong-arm rape of a 12-year-old girl and kidnapping a child with intent to sexually assault her, with a deportation order since 2004, Ge Yang, a Laotian illegal alien convicted of strong-arm rape, aggravated assault with a weapon, and strangulation with a deportation order since 2012. ...
and the list goes on and on... https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/2010101496034074739?s=20
Dead American kids needlessly killed because of laws sanctuary laws that protect illegals... who cares?
Trying to enforce the laws against violent illegal predators? Let's form groups to stop protect foreign criminals..
Now they almost have a martyr to rally behind, and damnit, they aren't going to let facts keep them from making her one. They'll protest and threaten LEOs and justify patently dangerous and illegal behavior jsut so long as it gives them a talking point they can use in their quest to protect foreign criminals.
Americans must die so the Sriudorn Phaivan's of the world can roam free in our streets, and certain types of progressives aren't going to let videos or common sense stop them. Lies to protect the Sriudorn Phaivan's amongst us are justified.
The people who are most vehemently opposed to ICE (and support employing violence to stop them) come from groups with very high rates of mental illness. ICE seems to have become the focus of their anger for whatever reason. Protecting foreign criminals has become a religion for them. Odd behavior and very worrisome for the future.

I suspect many people would agree with me that using ICE to round up murderers , rapists , and other active criminal illegals is a good thing. That is what Trump repeatedly promised on the campaign trail.
Of course, he is not following his word.
The problem is that he is using ICE to raid cities looking for any illegal. And he has increased the size of ICE (more than doubled it) and arguably has relaxed the training and vetting for the agents. He has them en masse, making a big damn public deal in US cities. Worse, they are walking around with masks on and are freely making use of pepper spray, etc. They are agitating the communities; they are poking the bear.
ChatGPT bullet points:
Trump is irresponsible. He cannot be trusted and is demonstrably incompetent.
Except, like Neo-confederates, democrats have established sanctuary jurisdictions to protect those predators. The rebellious Mayor of Minneapolis demands ICE leave his city. Roving bands of "Ice watchers" interfere with operations to remove criminals.
Claiming to support the removal of criminals while opposing all attempts to do so (and actively attempting to shield them) is simply not consistent
Walking the streets and rounding up anyone suspected of being illegal is not the proper response.
ICE should be far more discrete, better trained, better organized and have a targeted mission per the (almost daily repeated) campaign promise.
Trump's approach is incompetent and chaotic. Surely you can see this.
wishful thinking

Trying to shift attention away from ICE behaving like the Iranian Red Guard is disingenuous. If 'getting the bad guy' is intended to excuse any behavior then maybe the bad guys ain't that bad.
ICE being unaccountable for what they do will naturally attract the wrong kind of people. ICE agents who are not held to the law will naturally break the law. The ICE agents are deliberately turning the streets into a combat zone where they can do as they wish with impunity. ICE has become a menace to public safety, the rule of law, and civilized society.
ICE is no longer defending the United States. ICE is engaged in a politically motivated crackdown; they're not enforcing laws or 'getting bad guys'. ICE has become a paramilitary force used to intimidate political opponents, disrupt daily life, and threaten a civilian population. ICE functions in the same manner as the Iranian Red Guard or Hamas or Boko Haram or the Muslim Brotherhood. ICE is no longer engaged in a mission of 'getting the bad guys'. ICE is now defending its uncivilized behavior using the same justifications that Hamas uses, the same justifications that ISIS uses, the same justifications that the Iranian Red Guard uses.
ICE has been deployed to ensure that we bend the knee to the Federal government. Real Americans won't accept that. And a politically motivated paramilitary force attempting to hide its tyrannical mission and methods behind tragedies is un-American. ICE has become a shit stain on what it means to be American.
I would say that this far ICE agents have had the patience of dedicated monks. If there is any "red guard" it is that vicious rock throwing money that democrat officials have incentivized.
Blaming others to excuse the actions of ICE is known as gaslighting. Democrats and protesters have not dictated the methods and tactics ICE is utilizing. Opposition has not forced ICE to behave like the Iranian Red Guard.
What is the mission of ICE at this point? Is ICE enforcing law or is ICE a political tool being used to harass and intimidate political opponents? What master does ICE serve?
ICE is encountering the very real reason why foreign militaries would have difficulty invading the United States. Americans will resist. That is a feature of our American experiment and not a flaw. Americans have a natural tendency to oppose tyranny.
Thousands of protesters were likely killed by Iran's security forces the last couple days.
That's what repression actually looks like. No matter how desperate progressives are to cosplay as being victims of NAZI like repression, the real world exists exists outside their LARP bubble and can teach you lessons if you let it. Put aside the left's suddenly not being interested in "genocide" and the murder of thousands of Muslims when they can't attack Israel for it, but try and realize the difference between what protesting looks like in a country where the government doesn't allow free speech and here, where "martyrs" have to invented to give progressives some way to pretend they are threatened and in danger for their all consuming hatred of Trump.
Progressives are free to post all the crazy hate filled vitriol and conspiracy theories they want about Trump or ICE without fear of being arrested by ICE or anyone else. Pretending to be as oppressed the people of Iran by group's acting like CCP's Red Guards terrorists is just insulting to the actual victims.
Those Iranian protesters are engaged in real violence. The Iranian protesters are destroying public property and attacking police officers. The Iranian protests have more in common with the BLM race riots than the anti-ICE protests.
'Progressives' are not the only ones freely posting crazy, hate filled vitriol. They're not the only ones spreading conspiracy theories.
ICE agents are not being oppressed either. ICE agents really are acting as oppressors. ICE agents really are moving into areas, disrupting normal life, using government authority to harass and intimidate citizens, and, now, killing those who they deem as politically disloyal. How long before ICE begins killing those within their own ranks they consider disloyal?
The overlap in the circles of a Venn diagram between those attacking ICE as fascist oppressors and those supporting the Ayatollahs would be pretty significant.
'Progressives' are not the only ones freely posting crazy, hate filled vitriol. They're not the only ones spreading conspiracy theories.
I didn't say they were. They are the ones who imagine ICE is going to shoot them for it though.
ICE agents are not being oppressed either
They are being obstructed, shot at, murdered and turned into cartoon villains by leading democratic politicians engaging in stochastic terrorism. But I never said they were oppressed
ow, killing those who they deem as politically disloyal.
A perfect example of what I'm talking about.
Trump may FAFO if he attacks Iran with our military. Not that Iran can touch us militarily, but it very well may cause enough protesters to rally around the regime as a patriotic endeavor in response to foreign military intervention.
If he wants to bomb Iran he better very damn sure the Iranian protest movement doesnt object. And that is far from a sure thing.
We should all celebrate trumps approach to Iran of pressuring the ayatollahs rather than the Hamas Ben Rhodes led policy of kowtowing to them and propping them up. The amount of damage done to the world by Obama/Biden in trying to be irans friend is incalculable
I think pressuring them is fine, attacking them military might be a different story. Most Iranians dont want that.
. ICE functions in the same manner as the Iranian Red Guard or Hamas or Boko Haram or the Muslim Brotherhood
I assume you have no idea what the red guard actually did or you wouldn’t make such an embarrassing comparison
Left wing terrorists killed a border patrol agent in Vermont this year. No one of course Rioted. But look at the posts in response.
this is exactly how the left would have responded if good had run the agent over and killed him. No doubt about that.[ ✘ ]
How despicable and disgraceful to politicize the deaths of these two young people. Shameful.
Tell us about "these two young people."
We are all ears!
Is that you rationalize the supporting the policies that led to their death and thousands of others? You just ignore them as "political".
Now go back to politicizing the death of Renee Good.
You should apologize to the mourning parents for your grossly inappropriate public debasement of their childrens' deaths.
Excellent job abusing the meaning of words. But instead of such ham fisted deflections, why can't you admit supporting the policies that caused their deaths? Embarrassment? Shame?
What an idiotic comment. Truly. Is that the best you can do? It's like you're committing rhetorical suicide.
Did thousands of progressives take to the streets to protest the policies that enabled their murder?
What an intentionally egregious misuse of this word. Expect nothing less from the right wing hate machine.
Not surprised that you are more offended by describing felony vehicular homicide as murder than you are by the sanctuary state policies that allowed it to happen
Now you’re a troll and a mind reader?
No, I just assume your posts reflect your beliefs. Do you not understand your posts, or are your posts lies? My bad for assuming they were honest, I guess.
What an intentionally egregious misuse of this word.
You mean like it's use in the shooting of a woman who hit a federal agent with her car?
No matter how many times you repeat that lie it will never be true. Maybe try clicking your high heels while you say it?
I get that the left has trouble with the definitions of words and their application of words is difficult. I recommend some research.
We know English quite well, but the right’s newspeak is not ever going to catch on.
No you don't. You can't even tell what a woman is.
lol, as if you could tell who is trans and who isn’t.
You make is sound like I should care.
You make it sound like you do … a lot.
I could care less.[✘]
Democrat policies at work. And they wonder why ICE is in these cities.
