A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

What the hell? So it's a protection racket but with confidential voter information instead of cash payments.
Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

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.

Thing #2: Propaganda chain: Detailed ,(false, per videos) statements by DHS/Noem/etc out well before any investigation could have happened. Not surprising, but also not normal & shouldn't be normalized. Reporters need to be asking Abt this & all coms need subpoenaed when that power is available.

Thing #1: The eyewitnesses. There are multiple reports of witnesses being taken from the scene by CPB. I haven't seen anyone in the national media cover this or ask about it.

Confirmed? Who was taken? Where are they now? Nat'l press needs to be asking.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

The Trump/ICE method is akin to stochastic terrorism. You flood a city with untrained hotheads. You pump them up with white nationalist propaganda and tell them to escalate and kick ass. You also make clear you'll shield them from any legal accountability. You don't know specifically who is going...

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

Democrats need to understand that if the regime can get away with shooting people under the pretext that they were trying to subdue a dangerous person who was resisting arrest, it won't be long before they can get away with shooting people without the pretext that they were resisting arrest.

This is what happens when powerful people tell these goons they have immunity.
Nearly half a dozen agents wrestling one individual to the ground and then one of them just starts shooting in the dog pile, steps back and unloads on the guy on the street.

Warning: this is horrifying.
OUTRAGEOUS.
Another horrific ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Man wrestled to the ground by federal agents, then shot multiple times.

This is one of those things that in another administration couldve been a months long scandal if the media wanted it to be. call it AgentGate. What did Bondi know and when did she know it? Weeks of opinion pieces etc etc.
Breaking NYT:

The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Read this entire thread. Please.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

1000x this.
One of the reasons it’s a problem that Democrats keep ceding ground to transphobes is that it actually just helps conservatives get more votes by not contesting any of the transphobic shit that conservatives are using as a gateway message

This is fucking infuriating and cowardly. Maybe it sounds "reasonable" in a congressional office but on the streets it's just aiding and abetting mayhem. Call and write Senate Dems and back them off. This is not nearly enough.

Of course if he'd gotten it he'd also be sharing company with Henry Kissinger, so either way ...
