Bovino getting pulled is a nice thing, but everyone needs to be clear on one thing: just today, we have infuriating stories of families getting abducted and ICE creepily surveilling our children. ICE are acting the same as they did last week
Trump is not doing this and the media is lying to you because they want to take him to the dance and kiss

Defund, Abolish, Prosecute. Nothing less.
Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.
As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

I'll repeat my ask to Democratic Senators here: don't vote for the DHS funding bill, yes. AND ALSO do not vote for another single thing in the United States Senate until the invasion and occupation of Minnesota ends. Don't vote to name a post office, dedicate a road, or even a procedural motion

Rent is due and families are being pushed to the brink.
In the midst of everything happening right now, immigrant community members are struggling to make ends meet, and the neighbors and organizers stepping in to support them are stretching beyond capacity.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Two folks walked into the bar last night and were like "here's $500, add it to the tab so people can keep drinking free." We had like almost 3 hours of Minnesotans drinking on other peoples' tabs.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.
36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso.
The Texas Nicaraguan Community on FB reports that his mom last heard from him on Jan. 6, when he told her he was planning to go to Minneapolis to start work in a restaurant. 1/3

Federal agents have shot people in Minneapolis every week for the last 3 — killing 2. DHS/Trump admin have told increasingly brazen lies about each. Community here are more defiant, righteously angry than ever. Federal govt continues to be run by violent dipshit internet trolls.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

The smells of multiple scented candles people grabbed from their homes to be in community broke me. Someone carrying a 3-wick Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom to the vigil because that's what they had.

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"

HUGE vigil at Whittier International Elementary, up the street from where Alex Pretti was murdered.
This is in addition to the huge gatherings at the site of his killing and at the nearest intersection (26th and Nicollet). Three gatherings within a few blocks.
