We get that Republicans want to argue that “you shouldn’t” protest or film agents, or that it’s “a bad idea.” But it’s a right. That means you don’t get to decide whether someone gets to do it if that’s how they choose to protest. It also means agents can’t kill people who do.

hey @fetterman.senate.gov where the fuck are you hiding?
John Fetterman’s wife Gisele posted this
in response to last week’s killing by federal agents in Minneapolis. Incredibly, the senator himself has not yet said anything publicly or issued any statements.

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Just remember—every ICE name is on a payroll.
History will prove they didn’t think that part through.
Bank records are extremely hard to destroy.

Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

I'm a journalist and attorney, not an activist, so I've no answers on what Americans should do right now.
I only know this: Donald Trump is attempting to incite a civil war so he can cancel all future elections, and he will keep executing citizens until that outcome is achieved.

The speed at which Republican electeds and voters rush to justify ICE killings, despite clear evidence, makes me think that this country is irreparable. I’m sorry for the doomerism, but I’m more and more questioning what the hell am I doing in this country

15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.
Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

The safest thing for any American civilian to do at this point is to assume that every ICE or CBP agent you encounter is a pardoned violent January 6 insurrectionist with demonstrated homicidal urges toward those they disagree with politically and choose your actions accordingly.
