This guy is well known for peacefully protesting, and yelling at the ICE agents. This is protected by the US Constitution.
It appears these agents don't follow the Constitution, and arrested him for protesting in the street outside of their boundaries.
Banana Republic!

@maddowblog.bsky.social So we start with Nick Shirley's video, which starts the fraud rage. It's magnified by right wing media. Then it comes out that the MN GOP worked with Nick Shirley. ICE invaded saying it was about fraud.
Let's back up. Is this a false flag? They created the story to invade?

He said he talked to the oil companies and they are dying to get into Venezuela.
The oil company CEOs say "No, he didn't."
Estimates are it will take 20 years to rebuild the oil infrastructure.
Remember all the talk of fentanyl? It wasn't charged, only cocaine.

@markhertling.bsky.social have you seen the reports of special ops transiting the UK accompanied by 2xAC-130s, among other things? Considering the threats made by Trump and the violence occurring in Iran, I believe we're about to try to repeat the Maduro operation. Thoughts?

So Nick Shirley is nothing but an attention seeking shit-stirrer.
The MN GOP helped him make his little video.
His source was an avowed racist.
DHS and FBI fell for it. Trump fell for it and stopped funds to all 50 states.
All based on lies.
