Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

I'm sure a few ICE agents suspect this already, but it seems very clear that DJT, Miller & Bovino WANT an ICE agent to get killed. They need their own martyr. There is a reason they are putting them in increasingly volatile situations.

Garcia: If this reporting is accurate on Bovino, it is great news. He clearly has no business running any federal agency.
While this is a positive development, it changes nothing. Kristi Noem must be impeached immediately, or she must be removed by Trump.

This is a terrific piece of rhetorical construction that also happens to be a very good point. A lot of us have been heartened by the courage and integrity so many Minnesotans have shown over this past week, in the face of intimidation and spiteful violence.

Just a reminder that it was only 4 days ago that Trump caused an international furor by denigrating the service of allied combat veterans. Think of all the chaos and mayhem since then in just 4 days. The sheer volume of it is meant to exhaust us and numb us. We mustn’t let it.

Bovino is the scapegoat for Trump's deliberate and intentional reign of terror in Minnesota, but as long as Stephen Miller is in the White House, this is just window dressing. Dems must go on offense!

There are rumors in MAGAland that not only is Bovino being removed from Minneapolis, he’s being relieved of duty as the commander at large.
Unverified at this time, but with watching.

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”
