“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”
Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

If you were forced from your home,

ICE is killing, lying, and covering for itself.
We must abolish ICE—and we need to make sure that no federal officer can ever kill and hide behind a would-be badge, a mask, or a lawless President and DHS Secretary ever again. That's why I introduced the Deadly Force Independent Review Act.

You know, this whole thing gets solved if we just pardon all undocumented people as a class. For the misdemeanor of being undocumented. Our regular police can investigate any real crimes. They’ve been doing it for a long time.

Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

The racist president's racist comms team says his racist social media post was posted by a racist staffer hired by his racist regime, so everyone should just forget about the racism.
Trump has now deleted the post, with the White House now claiming, "A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down."

"Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”
