I’d like to introduce myself and explain a little about my work with my map 🌐🗺️

TLDR: militia members showed up to our school board meetings so I started digging to see who was giving them orders and traced the pipeline to the top

LA based streamer/reactionary Anthony Cabassa pretends to be a journalist while advocating for accelerationism/authoritarian crackdowns. He and other propagandists including the Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura dropped into MN to try to make content and are big mad people know who they are.
Jorge Venturatv Instagram post showing an @conejovalleyantifascists post reading “HOSTILE MEDIA ALERT Jorge Ventura is on assignment in Minneapolis for the Daily Caller and is being retweeted by Andy Ngo.” There is a photograph of Ventura holding a microphone speaking to the camera with full fave visible. Jorge Ventura’s caption reads “Now I'm getting doxxed by left-wing activists for simply reporting news” Photo of @informedwithanthony’s Instagram stories showing a Bluesky post with his name and photo identifying his arrival from LA to Minneapolis. Anthony’s caption reads: “A few of us journalists are currently being doxxed online, and targeted for our on-the-ground reporting. We will not be deterred.”

LA based Franco-fetishist, fmr Trump Latino surrogate, streamer Anthony Cabassa also in Minneapolis. He arrived yesterday and almost immediately had access to Bovino’s press conference. Dude is not the brightest generally- was baffled that gig workers weren’t up for delivering him food mid-siege.

Screenshot from Anthony Cabassa’s Instagram story reading: From Create Mode > I have never used Uber Eats before in my life, so ajorgeventuratv let me borrow his, and today I learned Uber Eats is an app that doesn't deliver anything but false hope. I ordered my food, then it said no driver, then it got a driver, driver abandoned order, now it's finding a new driver, but still no food. Food was ready for pickup 3 hours ago.

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.

They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.

Minnesota says DHS actively interfered with efforts by police to investigate the shooting, then abandoned the scene without handing over a secure perimeter, potentially spoiling evidence.

The state agrees its request “should be unnecessary,” but we are in unprecedented times.
But federal personnel purported to order BCA personnel to leave. According to reports, federal personnel may have seized cell phones, taken other evidence from the scene, and detained witnesses. It is unclear whether federal personnel otherwise processed the scene-let alone how carefully. Then just a few hours after the shooting, federal personnel left, allowing the perimeter to collapse and potentially spoiling evidence. From a law enforcement perspective, this is astonishing. The federal government's actions are a sharp departure from normal best practices and procedure, in which every effort is taken to preserve the scene and the evidence it contains. Instead, by first attempting to bar BCA and then letting the scene collapse, the federal government appears to have taken measures that directly led to the destruction of evidence.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
1. I am a resident of the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am over 18 years of age. I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting. 2. On Saturday, January 24, 2026, at about 8:50 am, I was getting ready to go to work when I heard whistles outside. I knew the whistles meant that ICE agents were in the area, so I decided to check it out on my way to work. I've been involved in observing in my community because it is so important to document what ICE is doing to my neighbors. Connecting to your local community and knowing who your neighbors are is something I profoundly value. 3. I drove to Nicollet Ave. and 26th where I could hear the whistles coming from. I turned south onto Nicollet. There were already several ICE agents there and they'd set up a sort of vehicle convoy on Nicollet and 28th. There were also about 15 observers there, recording and observing ICE. 4. I saw ICE agents surrounding cars and punching car windows. I also saw them stopping vehicles further down Nicollet, so I backed up because I didn't feel safe continuing on. 5. I noticed a man sort of acting to help traffic move more smoothly. He helped me find a place to park. I got out with my whistle and my camera. I went over to him and said something like, "I'm going to film and use my whistle." 6. It seemed like most ICE activity was happening a little farther down the street from us, near 27th. Someone was being thrown to the ground. 7. I started recording. There was an agent by a car across the street. Two observers were a few feet away from the agent, blowing their whistles. One was wearing a backpack. 8. I and the man who was observing and helping direct traffic were standing in the street. There was a phone in the man's hand recording a video. 9. An agent approached and asked us to back up, so I moved slowly back onto the sidewalk. 10. The man stayed in the street, filming as the other observers I mentioned earlier were being forced backward by another ICE agent threatening them with pepper spray. The man went closer to support them as they got threatened, just with his camera out. I didn't see him reach for or hold a gun. 11. Then the ICE agent shoved one of the other observers to the ground. Then he started pepper spraying all three of them directly in the face and all over. The man with the phone put his hands above his head and the agent sprayed him again and pushed him. 12. Then the man tried to help up the woman the ICE agent had shoved to the ground. The ICE agents just kept spraying. More agents came over and grabbed the man who was still trying to help the woman get up. All three of the observers looked to have been badly affected by the pepper spray. I could feel the pepper spray in my eyes. 13. The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them-he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times. 14.1 don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him. 15. The video I recorded of what happened accurately depicts the events leading up to the agents shooting him and several minutes afterwards. The video is attached as Exhibit 1. 16. I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground. 17. I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened. I've heard that other witnesses might have been arrested and taken to the Whipple Building. 18. I am disgusted and gutted at how they are treating my neighbors and my state. I keep alternating between crying and feeling determined it is important to remember the value of documenting injustice. We show up for the people who need us to bear witness, because it can't just be one group of people bearing the brunt of their tyranny. This is a struggle to protect our freedom and democracy, those things are on the line. He lost his life for those values. I declare under penalty of perjury that everything I have stated in this document is true and correct. Dated and signed on Jan 24, 2026 in Hennepin County, State of Minnesota.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California.

This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

DHS said in October that "comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences."

After I found one of their lawyers for ICE is a racist and a self-described fascist who has praised Hitler, there have been no consequences.
These type of threats against our brave ICE law enforcement officers and their families are disgusting. These officers risk their lives every day to arrest murderers, pedophiles, rapists, terrorists, and gang members from our communities. Comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "The men and women of ICE and CBP are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, they just want to go home to their families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop."
