Judge orders trial for man who shot protester at Colorado ICE facility

A Colorado judge found sufficient evidence to try Brandon Booth, a GEO Group contract employee, for shooting protester Emma Landis in the foot outside the Aurora ICE Processing Center after protesters blocked the facility's gate. Officers testified protesters called Booth a slur and a Nazi and threatened to find his children's school, provoking what one officer described as extreme anger before Booth drew his weapon and fired.

Booth reportedly told officers afterward he 'just did some dumb shit' and had aimed between the two women rather than at them. Prosecutors charged him with assault with extreme indifference and criminal intent to commit assault, arguing the shooting reflected disregard for who was hit rather than any specific target.
