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."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

It just get worse. Instead of administering CPR to a man who might still be alive, DHS officers were leering over the body, counting the bullet holes.

I haven't been back from Texas for 24 hours, and there's 3 new reminders why we shouldn't fund DHS without reforms to force them to obey the law.

1. The arrest of little Liam Ramos
2. More brutal treatment of protesters in Minnesota
3. ICE claiming the power to enter our homes

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

Ansari: I think ICE is completely out of control, and there should be no more funding given to ICE. The funding that's already has been given to them through the big ugly bill should be stripped entirely

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

By acting with impunity, the U.S. signals that power, not law or morality, decides the fate of nations.

This reckless precedent doesn’t just target Venezuela, it implicitly hands Ukraine to Putin and Taiwan to China.

It’s a dangerous lesson and the consequences will be felt beyond this moment.

Not an Eagle (a Red Kite).

Not in America (Pic is from Spain)
