As questions continue to mount about the circumstances that led an ICE officer to open fire and kill a 37-year-old woman in her vehicle in Minneapolis, the agent’s potentially traumatic recent history could be as much a point of discussion as his tactics and training.

DHS official Tricia McLaughlin blatantly lies about the circumstances of Renee Good's killing: "Our law enforcement officers were outside of their vehicle trying to get their vehicle out of a snowbank." (Their vehicles were not snuck, it was 40 degrees that day ... )

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

Please understand what it means when journalists are evacuating their family members out of town.

In any other country, we would be approaching "foreign sanctions" territory

I need to see a freeze frame, but in the NYT video it looks to me like Ross unholsters his weapon before Good even switches the gear into drive. That is why his gun is out and in a position to shoot when she moves forward. Anticipatory "self-defense" www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...
Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles show that the vehicle appears to be turning away from a federal officer as he opened fire.

This, combined with him *moving to the front of the car* and then reaching for, if not actually unholstering, his weapon before Good even begins moving forward deminstrates that the intention to shoot was not reactive to a threat posed by the vehicle

That was my takeaway too. She's clearly turning the wheel to her right.

As many work to tear people apart, stoke fear, and sow division, we cannot be discouraged. We must continue to lead with our Wisconsin values of kindness, respect, empathy, and compassion to help others, restore hope, and rebuild faith in the world we're building together.

Kathy and I urge Wisconsinites to join us at 10:00 a.m. for a moment of silence in support of our neighbors across the river in Minnesota.

On this Day of Unity to honor Renee Good, you can also show unity through an act of kindness or support to friends or neighbors in need.
I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Average payroll growth of 14.5k over the last 6 months and yet an unemployment rate that is barely moving and now at 4.4%, suggesting we are in the ballpark of full employment. How can that be? Immigration. Read my nytimes op-ed.

😲 There's a preschool right around the block from where Nicole Good was shot & killed.

Did she just get caught up in traffic, and was she trying to get out of a confusing & dangerous situation?

SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM MUST RESIGN.

She has repeatedly lied to the American people, and after the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, she called her a “domestic terrorist.”

Disgraceful. Renee was a U.S. citizen, mother of three, and had just dropped off her son at school.

We had hoped 1000 people would show up for the No ICE in NH demonstration.

The final number is 1200+.

Well done Merrimack and NH.

I always thought the term "cosplaying" was overused until ICE/CBP started showing up everywhere. Look at this guy, does he think it's Fallujah? (It's a high school in Minneapolis).

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.
