All of this going down during the 250th anniversary year of America is a degree of cringey writing that would be roundly mocked were it a novel published in an alternative timeline.

Middletown's protest today: peaceful, relentless, unafraid.

We will not accept ICE violence as normal. We will not forget Renee Nicole Good. Grief becomes action. Justice demands presence.

The MPD union, at least, has made it clear which side they are on.

This is the cost of DECADES of (everyone, everywhere) refusing to deal with the rising right-wing and white-nationalist involvement in policing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
"FOP Stands with ICE"
Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police Condemns Rhetoric
(Minneapolis, MN) The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police stands with the men and women of Law Enforcement across the country. Over the past month, while Federal law enforcement has been doing their job in Minnesota, political and community leaders have condemned and vilified them.
The hateful and anti-law enforcement rhetoric by Mayor Frey and other politicians have made their jobs and those of local and state law enforcement more difficult and dangerous. The job of law enforcement is difficult and dangerous enough without the agitation by leaders in our state and communities.
When citizens are accused of a crime, they are given the presumption of innocence as afforded by due process. When there is an incident involving law enforcement, politicians and activists immediately condemn those involved and are scrambling for sound bites. They do not afford them the same due process but rather convict them in a public court of opinion while an investigation is barely beginning.
The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police condemns these attacks on law enforcement and calls on politicians and leaders to stop the anti-law enforcement rhetoric and to ask for calm while the facts come out.
###
The National Fraternal Order of Police is the oldest and largest law enforcement organization in the United States, with more than 382,000 members.

Members of the US congress warn the Trump regime against attacking or invading Mexico:

“Unilateral military action against Mexico would be disastrous.”

Congress of the United States
Washington, DC 20515
January 9, 2026
The Honorable Marco Rubio
Secretary of State
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street NW
Washington, DC 20520
Dear Secretary Rubio,
We write to strongly oppose the unauthorized use of military force in Venezuela and threats from the President and administration officials alluding to U.S. military action inside Mexico without Mexico's consent and without congressional authorization.
President Trump has falsely claimed he could legally order military action against Mexico without congressional authorization. In a January 3, 2026, interview with Fox News after the illegal strikes against Venezuela, President Trump asserted that "the cartels are running Mexico... we have to do something." When asked in a December 9, 2025, interview with Politico whether he would consider taking action in Mexico, he replied "Sure. I would."
Unilateral military action against Mexico would be disastrous.
Mexico is America's number one trading partner and critically important security partner with whom we share longstanding familial and border connections. Under President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico has dramatically increased its cooperation with the United States. Any unilateral military action would violate Mexico's sovereignty, and tarnish the new era of cooperation that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has ushered in.
The impacts of military action on American business interests would be far-reaching. U.S. foreign direct investment into Mexico surpassed $14.5 billion last year. More than one million American jobs are tied to cross-border commerce, and over five million U.S. jobs depend on commerce with Mexico.*
Military action would also undermine our decades-long effort to address shared security interests, particularly those posed by transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) that traffic guns, illicit drugs, people, and more across the U.S. border. Over the past 20 years, the United States has launched programs to sup…

February, Mexico extradited 29 individuals sought by the United States for alleged cartel ties— one of the largest extraditions in the country's history. In August, Mexico again transferred 26 inmates suspected of holding senior roles in some of the nation's most powerful drug cartels, marking the second major extradition of the year.®
No doubt Mexico still faces political and rule-of-law challenges that threaten its progress. Yet, with renewed efforts of President Sheinbaum's government, Mexico has bolstered intelligence for fighting organized crime; significantly reduced homicide levels; overseen the largest seizure of fentanyl in Mexico's history; and worked with the legislature to ban the production, distribution, and acquisition of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals.?
U.S. policy should recognize this renewed progress and that our bilateral cooperation with Mexico is increasing enforcement capacity and getting results.
Any unilateral U.S. military action inside Mexico without Mexico's consent would destroy trust, eviscerate cooperation with Mexican authorities, and make it harder to keep drugs out of the communities we represent.
At a time when we need to build trust and work with our allies in the face of global competition, we urge the Administration not to undertake unilateral, kinetic action that could violate Mexico's sovereignty, increase the flow of migration as Mexicans seek safety, disrupt business that supports large swaths of the U.S. economy, or undermine the security progress we have made together. We ask you to commit to no unilateral U.S. military action inside Mexico without congressional authorization.
Sincerely,
They Stanton

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting.

Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

If you are a veteran, this kind of visible presence at anti-ICE protests is really valuable.

These clowns all want to play dress-up soldier, so actual soldiers mocking them to their faces is devastating.
