Untrained, violent federal agents are invading our communities, violating the law, and killing innocent Americans.

ICE must be held accountable for this reign of terror, starting with an immediate withdrawal from MN. Congress should do their jobs & withhold every cent of funding until they’re gone.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.

Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.

And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Starmer slams Trump:

"Trump deployed words on Chagos yesterday that were different to his previous words of welcome and support when I met him in the White House... for the express purpose of putting pressure on me and Britain in relation to my values and principles on the future of Greenland."

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

He wants to make it a tax haven for Zionist billionaires. What we have witnessed with Gaza the past two years is blatant racketeering. Political bribes and illegal foreign policy to enrich Zionist billionaires.

The U.S. is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich and just before the start of World War II.

Trump didn’t flood Minnesota with federal agents because of undocumented immigrants — he did it because he lost there, hates its leadership, and wanted to remind a blue state what power looks like when it’s unrestrained. Texas and Florida, with millions more undocumented residents, were ignored.
Trump’s Immigration “Crackdown” Is a Political Occupation, Not Law Enforcement
3,000 federal agents in Minneapolis — while Texas and Florida, with far larger undocumented populations, see none. This isn’t about immigration. It’s about vengeance, intimidation, and power.
