Here are Trump’s ICE Nazis throwing an elderly woman to the ground. It’s shameful and un-American.

NO MORE FUNDING FOR ICE ‼️

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

U.S. immigration authorities have made clear that social media plays a role in enforcement, intelligence gathering, and monitoring. Don't support Hootsuite and other companies that help support ICE.

I don't plan to use @hootsuite.com ever again as a social media manager. As an early adopter (and former Vancouver resident), I am disgusted that this Vancouver, CA-based company is doing business with ICE. Don't support any company doing business with ICE. www.reddit.com/r/canada/com...

They call it "pulling a Vatican"
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti

This letter from Bondi gives the game away.

Minneapolis was never about unrest, fraud or immigration—it was always about using fear and terror to grab power.

And now they are using the threat of state violence to strong arm their way into election interference.

Pam Bondi offers to pull ICE out of Minneapolis if voter files handed over
Attorney General Pam Bondi said that ICE could be pulled out of Minneapolis if three demands are met, in a letter to Governor Tim Walz.

Anyone who thinks they are a good person & thinks that killing innocent moms & dads, kidnapping & tear gassing kids, & putting people in concentration camps is ok, is fooling themselves. You are a disappointment to us & your God.

The party that calls itself pro-family and pro-life has killed a mother and a father in cold blood, tear gassed and kidnapped children. It’s never been about life or family, it’s only been about control and power.

The are killing poets and mothers, murdering ICU nurses, beating pastors and teenagers, kidnapping children and citizens, tormenting the elderly, disappearing and killing people of color and putting them and anyone who stands up for justice in camps... when is it too much?

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.

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.
“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, esp. those with vocational training,” said Karp. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”
