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.

Alex Pretti was a scientist.
Alex Pretti, the man shot by ICE in Minneapolis, appears to have previously worked with the federal government at the VA.
There is a photo of him on the VA website, where he’s cited as part of a medical research team.

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

The ICE shooting.
Violence has been perpetrated by the federal government, and, especially as we move forward, that must be front and center.
There was, to my knowledge and from all I’ve read, no violence from the thousands and thousands of people of Minnesota standing up to ICE on Friday.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

This is profoundly chilling: ICE agent who claims he’s an EMT *rolls the body* — been a longtime since my EMT training, but pretty sure I remember you don’t do that—and shouts “where’s the gun?” He’s not treating a fallen man, he’s setting up a lie. The gun isn’t there.
