Unfortunately I am out of the country but I have heard from a number of sources ICE is operating near my house. There is a large Hispanic population there as well as a number of Hispanic owned businesses. I hope everyone is safe.

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, wearing mask, not identifying themselves and using aggressive “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens alike. Americans are resisting, as they should.
It is time to defund ICE!

This is the classic response of a psychopathic and fascist political leader.
Trump told NYT that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his "own morality" — brushing aside international law and other legitimate checks on his abilities.
"My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."
"I don't need international law."

As someone who has experience investigating law enforcement related shooting including where a federal agent was the shooter, I can say this violates everything a good investigation requires. The fact that they moved the vehicles and took the shooter from the scene is obstruction. Horrifying.
Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles show that the vehicle appears to be turning away from a federal officer as he opened fire.

I never post personal pictures but this is an exception. This is what happens when walking my dog who spotted a cat in the brief moment I was not paying attention. Fortunately just bruises and scrapes. Crazy thing is while I was on the ground assessing the damage the cat stayed put taunting my dog.
