DOJ has already decided there will be no civil rights inquiry into the killing of Alex Pretti. So, when Trump says he’s monitoring the DHS shooting review, remember, the conclusion is already in: www.ms.now/news/no-civi...
No civil rights violation probe into latest MN shooting, sources tell MS NOW
As DHS takes over the federal investigation, current and former law enforcement agents warn that Trump’s DOJ isn’t committed to facts or fairness.

So how many think this is to intimidate our athletes to keep them from saying something bad about the current administration?
What other reason could there be?

I know that most Americans are map-challenged, but I don't believe we have a border with Italy. I also don't think people in Italy are illegally entering the US while still in Italy. The Italian gov't should bar all ICE goons from entering their country.

Errrrr…. This wasn’t connected to any of the conversations lately about Philly and what’s happening elsewhere in the country. This was just part of a series I’ve done for years about ridiculous Citizen alerts I receive. For instance, here’s one for January 2022

I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.

Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

DOGE dumped the private Social Security data of every American on an unsecured server.

And they signed a contract to share our data with election denying conspiracy theories.

This is the largest data theft in the history of America, and we the people demand accountability.

To be clear, getting Bovino and his CPB goons out of Minneapolis is a win. We should celebrate wins.

And also, it's totally crazy that we're all relieved ICE enforcement is being turned over to the "took $50K in a Cava bag" guy who would have already been booted out of a normal administration.

#unpopulartake Enough already w/ the Philly thing nonsense.
I can guarantee that this happens in every city, and probably in most suburbs as well.
This is the way of the world today, exacerbated by the Orange guy at the top whose every action says it is OK to hate and fight whoever you want.

Just in time for a new funding fight, WaPo reports that DHS has not really investigated ANY of 16 shooting incidents.

Dems should demand real investigations for all of these (maybe get Robert Storch, fired DOD IG to do it) AND ALSO LaMonica McIver event.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

In all seriousness, how can it be that the official now in charge in Minnesota was caught by the FBI on video taking $50,000 to steer government business, and walking out with the money, which we still haven't seen. How is he still working in Administration, not to mention not behind bars?

UPDATE: After seeing this video, I informed ICE of my intent to visit the Baltimore facility today. I was told I would be denied entry.

It’s clear Trump's ICE would rather engage in a cover up. I will not stop pressing until we get answers. We need transparency & accountability.
Like many of you, I have seen this video, and I'm demanding answers.

My team has reached out to ICE repeatedly and have yet to get clear answers.
