TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter?
SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.

Update: At least three other high-ranking officials in CDC have also resigned.
“I am not able to serve in this role any longer because of the ongoing weaponization of public health,” one of the officials said in a note to staff.

t took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers.
What an indictment of our media.
