As the country reeled from the murder of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club threw a party.

Guests were greeted by women in showgirl outfits and sipped champagne by the pool watching entertainers floating in giant bubbles.

killed 2 miles from his home
My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.

He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

And a mob of agents killed him.

Trials now for every ICE agent. Every collaborator. Every single one. Today.
Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.

On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.

ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

People are stacked up like animals in leaked footage from an ICE Black Site inside of 31 Hopkins Plaza, Baltimore, MD. “More than 50 people in rooms, no beds, no bathrooms, people lying on filthy floors.”

Where’s all that ICE money going? We need accountability.

Keith Ellison: Investigators are, to this moment, still being denied access to the investigative file. I don't care if you're conservative, liberal, or whatever, but you should at least be in favor of conserving evidence in a homicide.

Tim Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all-powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace, and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such government.

> "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

the obvious thing for them do is let bovino and noem swing for this, but everyone in the administration has adopted trump’s reflex to double down in every scenario, a strategy that works if you’re the anointed head of a fascist movement and shows up as evidence in your war crime trial if you are not
Bookmark that Vice President and future presidential candidate JD Vance retweeted a post that said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.”

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
