ICE is designed to terrorize people who didn't vote for Donald Trump. That's it. They exist to wreck vengeance on people who don't support Trump. Murder and kidnapping are on the table.
ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!"
This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

"Sappho’s fragments show us eros and pleasure for their own sake, not as an exchange of property, the exploitation of one for the sake of the other, or in order to achieve virtue in the eyes of a moralising philosopher like Plato or Aristotle."

A lush translation of this late-discovered lesbian poet added to the legacy of Sappho, but there was a trickster at work

The federal government is literally covering up a murder in Minnesota.

Since Trump, Noem and Ice are willing to lie in the face of video evidence, is there any doubt that they would plant evidence? None at all. The are obviously willing to commit any illegal act, so getting them on video is our only recourse.

The homicide rate in Minnesota has decreased each year from 2022 to 2024. Minneapolis had 64 homicides in 2025, down from 77 in 2024. Overall street crime decreased in 2025.
Those are facts. Kristi Noem is lying, and that's also a fact. Minnesota and the USA need accountability and justice.
