Eight people have died in dealings with ICE so far in 2026. These are their stories
The high-profile killings of Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good are only two among many

In case you were still hesitant to say our government was waging war on its own people, I give you "in theater" as exhibit 9254.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me."
--Homan in February

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."
-- Tom Homan in March

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

If you aren't familiar with what DARVO is, get familiar with it. "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." The govt is relying on DARVO as a tactic on a national scale, and it is also increasingly a conservative tactic to attack outspoken critics of their ideas, theories, & renderings of history.

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

This morning, Tom Homan said that operations will be more targeted, but that’s not what we are seeing. If you are vulnerable to deportation, I want you to know that you still have to be careful. 1/

This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.
The administration is insisting that its masked goons are so emotionally stunted that words can launch them into a murderous rage.

"Our professionals are just ordinary people so ordinary people better act professionally around them, or else."

Amy Klobuchar announced she’s running for governor. Call her today and tell her that if she wants your vote for a position of executive leadership, we need to see her lead in the Senate. The current list of ICE reforms Dems are proposing aren’t enough. Tell her to whip her colleagues for more.

The media playbook, try to make the victim the issue when we still don't know the names of his murderers. Make it seem like he deserved it when he was shot in the back with his hands restrained. He was murdered. THAT IS THE STORY. You don't get executed for a broken tail light. #TheOccupation
New video shows Alex Pretti in scuffle with federal officers in Minneapolis 11 days before his death, he is armed and at no point reaches for his gun as ICE wrestles him to the ground..

I am happy for people in Maine if this is true. ALSO, this suggests that the administration is unleashing ICE in blue cities and states as punishment for political reasons. Collins is up for re-election and they need her to keep their control of the Senate. This is GROTESQUE.

So, when the headlines read, "Greg Bovino and some agents to leave Minnesota", I guess the 'some agents' probably meant the few who murdered Alex and Renee. Because I'm not hearing that they've stopped any of their illegal shit otherwise. #ICEOutofMN

I'd like someone to sit down with Klobuchar and go through the list of the historic 2023 DFL trifecta achievements asking her what she would have supported and what she wouldn't have supported. I think it would be illuminating.

Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

The only people who have died have been people exercising their constitutional rights while masked, armed federal paramilitaries have violently invaded an entire state to do a wholesale ethnic cleansing campaign.
