Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them.
Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."

DeWald cites "privacy interests" for an "agent number 3" and his body worn camera as one of the govt's concerns over making the case material piblic, among other issues.

“We’ll make sure that for the rest of their lives they’ll never have to buy their own drink!”
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

This is an excellent article on the everyday people of Minneapolis St. Paul. It's such an impressive community.

The consequences of the Pretti murder are so important because if Miller and Noem can baldface lie about this and get away with it, they can lie about anything and everything. There will be five fingers.

Now that Europeans are being more vocal about Trump, it's interesting to see how they immediately focus on the Republicans in Congress. They don't even remark on what the Democrats are doing. It's almost like they know how the US political system actually works.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Really enjoying ICE finding out North Carolina is an open carry state with a stand your ground law. My current favourite genre of TikTok videos is ICE agents in full camo in the woods being hunted by North Carolinians

Ten-dimensional-chess version of Dem cave: Johnson can on longer sell the "Congress not in session because shutdown" snake oil. Now it's almost impossible to not swear in Grijalva, leading to Epstein files vote, which is where the real action is.

Can someone educate me on the rules for calling the house back into session? Is there any deadline at all? I'm wondering what the over/under is on the house reconvening, and whether there's a "never" option. @danahoule.bsky.social @joshtpm.bsky.social
