I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

The Trump administration has prioritized hiring for both ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which includes Border Patrol. This hiring blitz has been facilitated by a huge influx of new money from Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill."

Here’s what that funding infusion looks like.👇

The chief judge of Minnesota’s federal district court, a George W. Bush appointee who clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia, just issued a remarkable order commanding the head of ICE to appear personally before him to explain why he should not be held in contempt of court.
How long can ICE keep ignoring federal courts?

So the government shutdown doesn't affect the ICE thugs? Then we have no government. ABOLISH ICE and throw the trash administration in the dumpster.

Disappointing to see people on here talking about their ideal ICE/CBP reforms.

It is a terrorism organization that is conducting terror campaigns.

Abolish.

At minimum.

That's it.

Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
