So two days ago, people being detained saved an ICE agent while fellow agents were incapable of helping and were thanked by being detained again. And today ICE executed a subdued protester in broad daylight. “Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?” isn’t even a question at this point.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.
Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street.

If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

ICE is devolving under pressure.

And that's from a baseline of thuggish secret police.

With pressure amounting to people exercising First Amendment rights to tell them to stop unjustified violence, and following/observing/recording them as they do.

It's rotten to the core and will only get worse.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

ICE kills. Again. Today.
My kid takes language classes at a cafe in Minneapolis on Saturday mornings. Last week the instructor moved them online for safety. Today, just at the time we would have arrived, ICE shot someone 1/2 a block away. @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov Get these thugs out of my city.

A school superintendent in Minnesota explains how a 5-year-old asylum seeker was used by ICE as bait.

"I can't even imagine as a mother myself how conflicted she must have been seeing ... her husband standing in the driveway in handcuffs saying don't open the door and also hearing her little one."
