ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets.

These are their stories:

I got threatened for this article and more. Now that people FINALLY admit the DOJ is complicit, consider who pushed the "Garland/Mueller/DOJ will stop Trump" narrative hard.

Those are mafia state propagandists. They are still going. Stay away from them.

For my first piece for Group Threat I wrote about the grotesque profits being made off of people's lives through ICE contracts.

If we're going to survive this, we have to abolish the profit motive that ever made us see swaths of people as expendable for profit.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Abolish ICE is not enough.

It's not about training -- Ross who killed Renee Good was a TRAINER. It's not about body cams -- we saw Alex Pretti killed with our own eyes.

We have to abolish the idea that violence ever made us safer, before it's too late.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

This is an execution.

At least 7 ICE agents versus one man on the ground. They pistol whip the man on the ground multiple times before shooting him once, pausing, and then shooting him multiple times in quick succession.

2 executions in 17 days.
This video on Reddit shows ICE agents in Minneapolis in the process of detaining a man who is struggling with them. Suddenly, one agent fires their gun, and then other agents repeatedly unload bullets into the body which becomes motionless. This is horrific to watch.

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article.

Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.
Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit
Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.
