Pam Bondi sends letter telling Minnesota officials if they turn over their voter rolls to Trump and his tech broligarchs they will remove ICE from Minnesota. It was never about immigration. It's about cheating in the midterms.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment
"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.
At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

So my understanding is that if Dems in the senate block the funding bill as Schumer has promised, it will block SIX packages:
1. Defense
2. Labor-HHS-Ed
3. T-HUD
4. SFOPs
5. FSGG
6. DHS

Declaration filed in federal court:
"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

We lost a union brother today.
The AFL-CIO mourns our AFGE union brother, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, who was killed today by federal agents.
Our thoughts are with Alex’s loved ones. The Trump administration’s operation—and their actions aimed at stoking violence and chaos—must end.

Yep, that's right. Using extortion (and murders) to try and take over elections in swing states.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.
The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

AOC: "Early reports are that he was an ICU nurse at the Mpls VA. So we are talking about Donald Trump accusing a VA ICU as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating service members to our country ... his final act on early was helping a woman pushed to the ground."

Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.
