The horrible killings in Minneapolis at the hands of ICE get a ton of coverage when they happen, and of course they should. But let’s not forget the day-to-day purpose of ICE’s presence here - violating the civil rights of people of color, non-citizens and citizens alike, all day long, every day.

Asked and answered.
If what ICE is doing is legal, then why do they keep blocking investigations and why does the Trump regime keep using pre-written narratives of their officers' actions being right before they have all the facts?

Asked and answered.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
These are the seven House Democrats who shamelessly voted on Thursday to fully fund ICE:
Tom Suozzi (New York)
Henry Cuellar (Texas)
Don Davis (North Carolina)
Laura Gillen (New York)
Jared Golden (Maine)
Vicente Gonzalez (Texas)
Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington)

BOVINO: He was in the scene actively impeding and assaulting law enforceme--
BASH: But he wasn't impeding. He was filming, which is a legal thing to do in the United States
BOVINO: Dana, let's not free frame adjudicate this now

I’d go further. They executed this man.
“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Unbelievable. But true.
If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:
In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

An even better analysis. ICE had his weapon before they started shooting. This was murder.

For decades, Conservative 2nd Amendment zealots have screamed about needing weapons to protect their nation from a tyrannical government.
Then, when it actually shows up and murders citizens, they change the narrative.
What a bunch of sick, sad, phony patriots...

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.
