They watched Israel do this with every Palestinian they killed for two years and so they never imagined it wouldn't work
… Furthermore, according to two other sources with knowledge of the situation, top officials in the Trump White House reminded their federal colleagues in and outside the West Wing that Pretti should be referred to as a “terrorist” in written statements and public messaging, no matter his background

Counter argument: Go fuck yourself
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

Ice needs to be abolished. Nothing will replace it; we cannot let that happen.

This evening we filed a lawsuit with the BCA (represented the AGO) in federal court seeking the preservation of evidence in the shooting death of Alex Pretti. Please read below.
As I said earlier today, I will not rest, my team will not rest, until we have done everything in our power, everything within our authority, to achieve transparency and accountability.

Minneapolis friends: Did you eat lunch? Don't forget to eat and drink.
(I forgot to do these things, trying to do them now.)
If you aren't already connected, talk to your neighbors and figure out your hyperlocal vigil plans for tonight.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

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.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

This morning, federal immigration agents publicly executed an observer at 26th and Nicollet Ave South. Observers are out in the community because they care about our immigrant neighbors. They do this out of love and helping keep families together. 1/

ICE executed another person in our City this morning on video. The video shows to me multiple agents beating on someone already on the ground and then these masked thugs decide to shoot multiple shots into someone who is already defenseless.

Last time ICE murdered someone in the street (~2 weeks ago) they spent the rest of day trying to kidnap people in the rest of the city, & pepper sprayed/tear-gassed a highschool.
Keep an eye on your own block, yr own neighborhood, yr own people.
It's still early in the day and they're everywhere.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
