Polling this week has turned sharply against Trump/ICE. Republicans are getting nervous. We must act boldly, aggressively now, with the goal of getting ICE to leave Minnesota and start acting within the law. There can be no confusion now about where we stand. 5/

Holy crap.

This is the most damning video yet.

It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face.

Murder.

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country.

The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

It’s CONGRESS that can stop ICE and CBP deployment to MN. The Dems (and any responsible Rs?) should introduce legislation and agitate for a vote: “No federal funds may be used for further activities of ICE or CBP in the state of Minnesota, except for their prompt withdrawal.”

Do you know how hard it is to get cops to seemingly side with people shot by a bunch of officers
Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

BREAKING NEWS: ICE agents have shot and killed another person in Minneapolis. I was interviewing Minnesota AG @ag.state.mn.us when it happened and he explains why it has become an absolute necessity for the “invasion of the Twin Cities by federal agents” to come to a stop.

They don't want more video coming out to undermine their narrative.
Witnesses are being taken to Whipple.

From a lawyer friend: “They’re trying to keep local PD and BCA from getting statements and confiscating any phones with video.”

Republicans cut funding for health care to pay for Trump's lawless militia. Giving more money to use 5-year-olds as bait and shoot unarmed mothers is unacceptable. I will not vote to give more money to ICE until there is accountability and an end to these abuses.
