Aliya Rahman’s testimony described being dragged from her car by ICE agents in Minneapolis while on her way to a doctor’s appointment. Her courage in sharing that terrifying story underscores the fear so many Minnesotans are facing and why ICE must leave our state.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

just a reminder: if fire hydrants near where you live are buried in snow after this week’s storms, it’s a mitzvah (and a gooooood workout!) to dig out around that hydrant so fire crews can get to it faster if need be.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification?

As masked federal agents terrorize and kill American citizens Mike Lawler does NOTHING to stop it. I was a military police officer in the Army. I know what law enforcement is about. Protecting and serving, NOT the weaponization of government against its own people.

No constitutionally empowered “Law Enforcement Agency” in the US permits pistol whipping a suspect while that suspect is in custody and restrained on the ground.
ICE IS NOT A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY THEY ARE A MILITARY FORCE OPERATING OUTSIDE CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY. NO OTHER WAY TO SEE IT.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

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.
