1 killed, the other beaten and detained

If it was about immigration, they would have warrants and know where the criminals are. They would quietly arrest them like they’ve successfully done for decades.

Unfortunately there are plenty of Americans that support this and are willing to sign up

Or you could just come take us over … we’ll come willingly 😊

Alex Preddy (spelling??)was killed and Matthew James beaten and detained

Alex Preddy (spelling?) was killed; Matthew James was beaten and detained
January 24, 2026 at 8:14 PM
Matthew James is victim #2 today but was taken away by ICE. The first man, that was killed, was an ICU nurse named Alex Preddy (spelling? Just heard it on the local news)

Or seeing it but excusing it

I love us too & want MN to be a safe place again. The killing of a man for recording ICE & trying to help a woman thrown to the ground is horrifying. The narrative of the Feds & parroting by our local stations is insulting & only in service of their corporate overlords. We need you in DC!

Local police need to be buffers between peaceful protesters and ICE. If the police are treated like the rest of the citizenry, even those that don’t see a problem with what’s happening will take notice (& off-duty police are already being targeted but ICE runs away when realize they are cops)

We ALL need to hear it
January 24, 2026 at 7:18 PM
And how do we avoid the “convict” when he’s running the country???

And people have been afraid to leave their homes for over 6 weeks - no work, no school, no shopping for essentials, no opportunities for support from friends and family - at the mercy of their community for survival. They’ve given up their personal freedoms for a manufactured crises.
January 24, 2026 at 7:14 PM
Sorry ulyssessplant but they are breaking down doors, attacking people IN THEIR HOMES NOW, detaining & deporting-without warrants. They say ICE is now allowed to provide warrants & are violating the 4th amendment by not getting a fed judge to authorize. Hiding is not a solution.

You can’t even trust your local affiliates as they parrot the narrative of their owners. Right now in Mpls they keep saying “we need to confirm” but state the DHS narrative as truth

States have control over anything not explicitly assigned to the federal government (ie states are responsible for their voting rules such as if people are allowed to vote absentee or register on Election Day, polling places, etc) We need to call up our state Natl Guard before the Feds do though

There’ll be no history classes, the Ministry of Truth will make sure of it. And future students will only be taught how to keep the oligarch class rich - we’re already seeing critical thinking skills are non-existent.

My poor dog can relate!
January 15, 2026 at 1:59 AM
Sorry, too close to this story (figuratively and physically) so my sarcasm radar is definitely off.
Unfortunately surrounded by people buying into the spin & trying hard to have conversations, listen to their experiences & point of view, & figure out what’s happening to this country

You don’t even need to study history; look back to 2010 and the Tea Party. Everyone made fun of them but they completely changed the narrative and look where we are now.

Asking honestly; who do you mean? A white female mom of a young child was murdered…we know exactly what would have happened if it was a person of color. Are you asking if things might have been different if it was a white male?
Young, elderly, disabled, etc have all been attacked; they don’t care

It’s true they have far-reaching effects but the boycotts throughout the south propelled civil rights and the only way to change governments is for grass roots People Powered action at the ballot box - but most people are motivated only when they are affected personally.

And the ones that leave their car at the gas pump hogging all the spots while they “just run inside”
