This murder comes a day after Vance spewed that leftwing protestors need to "turn down the temperature". Jesus Christ.

Five agents had a 51-year old man on the ground, shot him, and then went back and shot him again several times when he was no longer moving. It's all on video, and yet ICE is trying to call it self defense.

going into people's houses without a warrant. applying for a warrant to investigate a person they already killed. just wild fucking frontiers in 4th amendment law
"...from a civil rights probe to an investigation into a suspected assault on an officer, the people said. A federal magistrate judge rejected that warrant, noting that Good was already dead and could not be considered a suspect for a warrant."

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

I am extraordinarily proud of Minnesotans.
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Not going to boost them, but it's a delight seeing rightwing influencers who have never been this cold having a god awful time in Minneapolis. They can't keep their phones from shaking. They can barely accuse people of being paid protestors because their teeth are chattering so hard.

Hello from Minneapolis! Let me tell you, a fed govt shutdown would definitely not be worse than boosting ICE's funding right now. If you think it's worth compromising here, you haven't been paying attention.
House Democrats are pushing a contentious Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spending bill that would allow tens of billions of dollars to flow to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), drawing fire from liberals.

I love our neighborhood.
Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

Keith Ellison: "These poorly trained, aggressive, and armed agents of the federal state have terrorized Minnesota with widespread unlawful conduct. They're making unconstitutional arrests and using excessive force ... this has to stop."
