(Also @washingtonpost.com we fixed your other headline for you — “raises questions” is far too generous for these DHS lies)

DHS has been caught in too many lies. Don’t believe anything they say without receipts.
Liam is an innocent bystander. His family is not undocumented.

It just get worse. Instead of administering CPR to a man who might still be alive, DHS officers were leering over the body, counting the bullet holes.

Minnesota says DHS actively interfered with efforts by police to investigate the shooting, then abandoned the scene without handing over a secure perimeter, potentially spoiling evidence.
The state agrees its request “should be unnecessary,” but we are in unprecedented times.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Something is happening here, what it is isn’t exactly clear. The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus told local media they want the state BCA granted full and equal access to all evidence so an independent investigation can happen.

I get the impulse to push for more, harder, faster, but it's worth noting here: the lawyers for both the state and various other plaintiffs have been working their asses off at absolute breakneck speed today.

It’s crucial that networks with Sunday morning shows not let Republicans lie about what happened today. Interrupt them, cut their mics, cut away. It’s reckless and inaccurate to let them spin a murder. The video is clear. I don’t expect this to happen, but the journalistic imperative is clear.
