A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.

The Border Patrol’s killing of Alex Pretti in Minnesota sends a message that “masked federal agents can murder you in cold blood, simply because an American citizen exercising their Second Amendment rights scares them,” Tyler Austin Harper argues:
No Freedom Without the Second Amendment

‘It needs to end.’ Some Republicans break from Trump on immigration surge after Minneapolis shooting
It’s a sign some in the GOP view the current crackdown as a political problem, especially in the suburbs.

There isn't a perfect playbook for defeating authoritarianism, but we know from other countries that democratic resurgence is possible. I wrote for @slate.com about some of what we're seeing in Minnesota and why I believe, even now, that we will win.

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.
Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.
