Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state
The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training. https://cnn.it/49yoNEa

I dont see how any of my fellow Jewish Americans can be more fearful of college students protesting about Palestine than they are of a militarized ICE stacked with avowed Hitler supporters
BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday.

The leading cause of death among ICE officers? COVID-19.
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

This is excellent coverage: it gives readers context beyond the specific incident, showing a pattern of excessive force, and also documents that DHS keeps using the same and increasingly debunked explanations. Much better than both sidesing the shooting.
Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed:
The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

The level of pettiness here is almost unbelievable. According to sources close to The White House who spoke to WaPo, Donald Trump reportedly soured on supporting Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado after she accepted a Nobel Peace Prize instead of insisting it be awarded to him.

So I mentioned yesterday that an Imam in Minnesota keeps a beautiful copy of the Qu'ran for ceremonial use by Muslims elected to offices in Minnesota. But this started in 2016. And Keith Ellison (now State Attorney General) was elected to the US House of Representatives in 2006. 🧵
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
