I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed.
This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.

The CBP agent pushes a woman onto the ground and peppers sprays her, the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up, which they respond to by pepper spraying him, tackling him, and then shooting him from behind. It’s one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen happen in America

New video shows the man who was killed moments before the shooting.
He was peacefully standing in the street observing before ICE agents started pushing him for no reason.

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

If Keith Ellison doesn't want to risk getting unlawfully imprisoned himself for charging these guys I get it because I don't want to go to jail either, but if that's the case he should probably resign, because Minnesota can find an AG who is willing to take that risk to do the right thing

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street.
If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

Don’t watch the video. It was a murder, an execution. You do not need to watch it, it won’t help anyone. Warrants should be issued today if the government up there is anything other than a dead letter.

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

If initial reports are true, they shot someone who they'd wrestled to the ground. Potentially an observer. These agents must be arrested and brought to justice.
