Wow! I didn’t know I could walk on the creek when it was frozen. This is interesting - a new vantage point to pick up scents. I know the beavers have been feeding under the brush here.

An ICE agent shot and killed a woman today in Minneapolis, prompting protests and calls by local officials for federal agents to leave the city. The Star Tribune is covering this live:

The mother of the deceased driver identified the woman as Renee Nicole Good, 37. Video of the shooting shows agents around the vehicle as Good reversed and then accelerated. One agent appeared to fire multiple rounds into the car. ICE said the agent acted defensively.

Here is one of Bovino’s enforcers. That agent murdered Renee Nicole Good. Watch the videos of the event. No question his intent was to kill her. One smooth stone cold killer working at point blank range.

This agent deliberately killed Renee Nicole Good. There is no question that his intention was to murder her.
❓WHAT WAS HIS MOTIVATION❓
Watch the videos of the event. He is deliberate in all of his actions. A stone cold killer. Was it ICE’s intention to kill her?

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

The coercive force of the FBI, a federal agency in close partnership with ICE, DHS, and DOJ - the coercive force of the federal government pushed Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension out of the investigative process - HOW is this legal?
This cannot be legal. This is brazen federal corruption.

Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which investigates use of force by law enforcement officers, on Thursday announced it is withdrawing from the investigative proceeding after being restricted from accessing evidence.

The ruling is a victory for higher-education associations who challenged the proposed 15-percent cap, calling it illegal and claiming it would devastate the research enterprise.

We have $ for a dozen ICE agents to hang around for hours trying to arrest 2 roofers working in MN.
Meanwhile, the agency that investigates and prosecutes violations of Americans' right to organize is shedding staff again. Now down to like 1 agency staff per 145,000 workers.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

ICE isn’t welcome here. ICE shouldn’t exist. Every elected official must be clear-eyed about the fact that ICE is a threat to our entire country and must be abolished. As we in the Twin Cities know too well, our taxes are going to fund an entity that is attacking our neighbors; this has to end.
