A reminder: Nazi Germany’s initial plans for the Jewish citizens was to strip them of citizenship & deport them. This is no different. The Trump Regime ARE Nazis. 🤨

Republicans say "but Pretti brought a gun to the protest!" and that's why he was shot.

Ask yourself this. If Pretti had not brought a gun, he'd still have been beat up by 5-6 CBP agents, as they did before they saw the gun...while he helped someon. Is THAT okay in the minds of MAGA Republicans?

ICE Nazis have murdered 9 people so far in 2026. Hold them all accountable for their crimes.

Then prosecute every single person from Donald Trump on down who is involved with this ICE thuggery.

Be sure to get the architect of this Nazi insanity, Stephen Miller and his racist, hateful wife too.

Just saw a video of Rachel Maddow. She said that the White House and Stephen Miller decided that there doesn’t need to have a caveat in the DHS bill which protects AMERICAN CITIZENS against deportation. Think of that! They want to deport … who, exactly?

Republicans in congress continue allowing this.

Every single day, they endorse this vile crap by allowing the government to continue harassing and terrorizing innocent people like this.
Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Warning: video is hard to watch

A man was escorted out of a town hall hosted by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar after spraying an unidentified substance.

Images shows him holding a syringe containing an amber-coloured liquid.

Authorities have not confirmed what the liquid was.

And yet another reason for Dems to refuse to fund ICE. These guys are literally creating chaos because Trump, Miller, Noem and others want a fight. If ICE wanted to remove people here unlawfully, they would move to Texas and Florida, where most of the folks they are supposedly looking for reside.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

ICE had announced that they will be conducting operations at the Super Bowl in and around the stadium. This is why Trump isn’t going, he is sowing violence and chaos to start a civil war.
He needs to be arrested, soon!

it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

There were about 5.3 homicides per month in Minneapolis last year. A little over 1 per 100,000 people in the city.

There have been 3 ICE killings this month, about 1/1000 ICE agents, who are killing at about 100X the average rate.

100X more likely to kill than average Minnesotan.
