Periodic reminder that ICE still isn’t going after “hardened criminals”
We would all support that.
What do we gain from yanking this father away from his wife and child? What do we gain from deporting people who have been here for 20 years and never been in legal trouble?

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded
A moment-by-moment analysis of videos from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when shots were fired. The footage contradicts the federal government’s account of the fatal shooting.

Given how they currently operate and the opposition to them, they've very likely to be involved in more of shootings in the near future. This is an agency bent on escalation at all times.

Direct the vitriol at congressional Republicans in power refusing to stop this. bsky.app/profile/gell...
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Correct. They are hanging their hat (or trying to) on 18 U.S.C. 111 as justification for detaining and arresting people. Apart from requiring force, the statute states that the federal officer is engaged in official duties. So what was the official function that is supposedly being impeded?
Also they should ask exactly what "targeted operation" was (supposedly) going on. Who were they trying to detain, where was that person at the moment Pretti was killed, what was the role of these agents in that operation and how did Pretti "impede" it by filming them?

When Mamie Till was on the stand during the trial of her son's murderers in 1955, the defense argued she had misidentified her son's body, was lying in order to claim insurance money for her son, & had staged the whole affair with the aid of Communists & the NAACP. Tills murderers walked free.
NEW: "The government didn’t just use masked, armed, unidentified agents of the state to execute a citizen on the street, in broad daylight and in front of dozens of witnesses—it lied about the victim and what happened in the most brazen manner possible."

Murphy says Trump wants to trade ICE "murder and mayhem" for control of Minnesota's election. He also says yeah, that may sound conspiratorial but Pam Bondi's letter to Walz spells it out.
