The list includes key U.N. bodies that seek to hold states accountable for rape and use of child soldiers in conflict, among other crimes.
The U.S. is…
withdrawing from the UN program to protect women and children from sexual violence during wars
slashing its contributions to peacekeeping and food aid
refusing to participate in a global review of its human rights practices buff.ly/Pjwii0i
US turns its back on global efforts for women and children terrorized by violence and conflict
The Trump administration’s move to withdraw the US from these organizations risks undercutting lasting peace and global human rights accountability.

Lesson: Never FORGIVE, NEVER Vote for Republucians. They're traitors to America & democracy. They're clearly aligned more with Putin!
So far in Minnesota

They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school.

Then Ice kidnapped a five year old.

Then ice kidnapped a two year old

Then border patrol murdered Va nurse.

Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

I've been saying all along it's not about immigration. It's about control. So, this is government funded blackmail! Fuck Pam Bondi!
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Incredible courage of an eye eye witness account prior to ICE assassination of an innocent man! today!
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

So I'm looking at the Minneapolis border & I don't understand why would it ever require a border patrol! Anybody care to answer?

They murdered an icu nurse.
January 25, 2026 at 1:02 AM
Wait I recognize her in an earlier post. I mentioned that's a female ICE agent in the foreground of the photo. It caught me by surprise that a female would even want to be an ICE agent. I remember thinking oh she's wearing a black scarf to cover her hair & why would she need to do that?

Thank goodness. Shut ICE down!
The DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the Senate.

Again no gun. Just a phone in his dominate hand! ICE LIES!

I've been informed that the man in this video is Matthew James Obadiah Allen, better known as Twin Cities hip hop artist Nur-D
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Fuck you Trump. Canadians aren't your typical 12 year old girls that you'd intimidate so you could rape them! I'm never crossing the border to your now shit hole country.

This rightfully outraged veteran, "I took an oath back in 1969 to protect this country against all enemies foreign & domestic! 👇👇👇
The unc who went viral a few weeks ago protesting in MN is back: "5 shots they put into that man's body. How do you look me in the eye and tell me you can justify this? I'm a veteran. I swore an oath back in 1969 to protect this country against all enemies foreign and domestic. This is unbelievable"

Again a phone in his right hand.
Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.
