Very upset to see yet another killing in Minneapolis this morning. The video is disturbing. I want to hear from the woman in the pink jacket who was next to them and filming it. I hope she got away!!! #minneapolis

Leader Jeffries: There's no evidence to justify the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis. Kristi Noem has 0 credibility. We've got to make sure the rogue ICE agent who pulled the trigger, resulting in the death of an American citizen, is criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

Good morning! I used to go to Venezuela every year with my boyfriend (and later husband) when times were different there: a strong economy, a solid middle class and a place where the dollar didn’t go that far. It was a beautiful country with tons of potential. So sad to see what it’s become.
