It’s giving me chills to think about how the ICE Gestapo/Stasi now plans to target Haitians, especially in a town where they make up nearly 1/4 of the population.
I hope the people of Springfield area defend neighbors as those in Minnesota have, but it’s a relatively small city with less capacity.

Trump's immigration human-rights nightmare isn't pulling back. It's about to get much worse
A planned op this week in Springfield, Ohio targeting hard-working Haitians who came here the right way is nothing less than an ethnic cleansing on U.S. soil

Congress is debating whether to give DHS additional funding for immigration enforcement, but ICE and CBP have only spent a fraction of its staggering budget – much of it on a violent crackdown on immigrants and protesters. Here are the numbers. 1/23

This is how “straight” reporting distorts the news. Trump says he wants an “honest” investigation. But the DOJ is not doing an independent investigation, and, instead, CBP will be investigating its own officers. Sounds like it could be a rigged inquiry. Trump’s “vow” is worthless PR.

Moriarty: "I was working with the BCA all day. What happened at the scene was that the federal agents stood about 2 feet apart w/ large batons & they physically prevented the BCA from entering the scene ... DHS prevented them from even entering the scene with a lawfully signed, by a judge, warrant."

Key detail: ICE shot Pretti in the back.
He was on the ground, on his knees, restrained.
An ICE officer stood directly over him.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Does anyone watching the violent culture of ICE agents in MLPS, or reading their fascist recruitment ads, think the issue is lack of training?
So why are Dems ready to keep funding this monster, with a few "reforms"? Can an opposition meet the moment?

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
