ICE’s clear abuses of power are only creating danger in our communities. We saw it with the killing of Renee Good, and we see it with more horrific videos of another killing today.

NOW the US tried to justify the killing in MInn by speculating that the victim was going to engage in a mass law enforcement attack- with no credible evidence of that or that the agents believed that at the time they killed him. This is a govt RUN AMOK with deadly consequences, here and abroad.

I spent an hour watching today live. I had to disconnect from it for a bit.
Conclusion that's easy to reach is one I reached a long time ago: None of this should be happening, ICE shouldn't in the streets, the military shouldn't be in the streets, and the blame goes right to the White House.

I agree
I remember how I felt after frantically posting right around the time of renee good and - i was a little a little bit afraid to go back and see what the heck I said.
I'm trying to do the opposite.

Today, out-of-control masked federal agents killed another American, Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse.
Trump needs to end this chaos and withdraw his ICE battalions from Minneapolis.
The Senate must vote down funding this slaughter of our people.

Let’s be clear: ICE is now one of the wealthiest law enforcement agencies in this country, and they continue to prove they are ineffective and unqualified.
