Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

They killed him, and then they immediately set to concocting lies about him. I know the killing is worse, and yet I can't escape the thought that the lying is what reveals the deeper abyss.

If our administration is as racist as the Left claims, then why have the past two civilians we've murdered been white?

I don’t like Frey in general but damn this is a good answer
Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Do you think they'll abide by a federal court order?
FREY: Everybody listen to that question. The question is 'will this administration abide by a court order.' These are the underpinnings of our democracy and Constitution. The answer better be yes.

JFC. What an absolute fucking monster.
Noem: This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?

Good, the next thing that should end in the Senate is this presidency.
The DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the Senate.
New: @cortezmasto.senate.gov is a no on the DHS funding bill.

Oh my god. The ICEr who pulled the gun off Pretti negligently (or perhaps knowingly) fired the weapon, and that's what spooked the other ICEr to unload his clip into Pretti www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Watch/...

Pay CLOSE attention to the wording in any DHS statements.
DHS will say "armed suspect"
DHS will say "approached officers with a gun"
These are copaganda phrases to make it SOUND like the victim was holding or brandishing the weapon. He was not.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

‼️‼️‼️ ICE is arresting or kidnapping Nur-D right now near the scene of the murder today. He was being tackled and begging for an ambulance. Several ice agents just dragged him into the bed of a truck.
