What known facts suggest abt violence of this week is that Greg Bovino was in the command chain for both, and HIS boss is Stephen Miller.

We have to start focusing the question on whether Stephen Miller ordered all this, like he ordered the murderboats before the Venezuelan invasion.

I remember after 9/111, when the Department of Homeland Security was first touted (including by Democrats like Joe Lieberman), that the name sounded kind of Fascist to me. Turns out I wasn’t wrong.

The office of Senator Tina Smith, Democrat of Minnesota, described the person who was shot as the wife of a prominent activist, and Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democrat whose congressional district includes the shooting scene, described the person as a “legal observer.”

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

NEW: DHS says a "violent rioter weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill him. The ICE officer fired defensive shots." That's a lie. Watch the video for yourself.
This is the video.

Denmark is a NATO member state.
Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela (and Cuba, formally) are OAS member states.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sr. Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in Texas.

Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church.
