The federal government Friday agreed to pay $125,000 after a judge found a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent liable for civil assault for pointing a gun at a hotel maintenance man who came to the agent’s room to unclog a toilet.

"Renee Nicole Good, murdered in the streets. He shot her three times in the head. Murdered in cold blood. These people are trying to tell us not to believe what we see. F*ck ICE"

This thread makes my blood boil.
In 2023, two cops knocked at the door of Tupe Smith, a humble volunteer at the school in her small Alaska town. They handcuffed her in front of her young kids and took her to jail 72 miles away, where she was ordered naked and searched. She cried; she had no idea she’d broken any law.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These are women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).

Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

ICE’s abuses will never end because they are profit drivers for the companies donating to Trump and boosting the stocks Congress owns.

This is correct. We are powerful.
Do everything in your power now to say that this was a murder. And do everything in your power to get leaders to say it too.
Trump, his viziers & our supine media know that ICE murdered a woman by shooting her repeatedly in the face at close range. They know that we know this. They are counting on enough people being okay with it. Thus, we have a decision to make. We are extraordinarily powerful at this moment.

Excellent insight about how the community documented events before the murderous escalation by ICE. Not only did they care what was happening before that moment, they didn’t abandon her. Her community stayed to witness & record the behavior of Noem’s Ice Gestapo. Thank you people of Minneapolis. 🩵💙🩵
The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.
