ICE, CPB, DHS—get rid of it ALL
Conflicting info about whether Pretti was murdered by ICE or CBP makes it clear that ICE is not single "rogue agency"
ICE, CBP and ALL policing & borders must be abolished. This isn't just one agency; its an entire infrastructure of carceral control, illegalization & criminalization, and fascism.

ICE agents should not stick their fingers into mouths of inhabitants of Minnesotta. It’s rather risky.

“May I ask permission for you not to tread on me?”
Chip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"

Remember that the UK has far, far weaker protections against state power than did the US. And the latter folded up like a pack of cards. The US is a warning from the British future.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I find it intriguing, in mythic terms, that the agents of darkness have so far unleashed their violence against that which was Good and Pretti.

“Sadly also seems to run Congress” YOU’RE IN CONGRESS, SENATOR
Q: Are you willing to use every lever of power including a government shutdown to stop what's happening here?
KLOBUCHAR: Right now we're focused on getting ICE out of the state. Of course we will use every lever, but I do remind people that Trump runs the WH and sadly also seems to run Congress

@kim.senate.gov voted to confirm Kristi Noem. Now it's time for NJ Senator Kim to take responsibility and say "impeach"
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"
