“The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them. To act without a conscience, but for a paycheck, makes anyone a dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he couldn't entice people to do his work.”

ICE needs to be ripped down to the studs. We need to start over and hold this Administration accountable for this mess.
Nothing has changed. Minnesota is still suffering and sending in a new guy to run ICE won’t change that – but Congress can.

"We need to rip ICE down to the studs and start over," Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota writes. "In the wake of this catastrophe, there is no reason we can’t come up with a way of enforcing our laws that doesn’t trample on our values and our Constitution."

I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents.
No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes.

I met Ian outside the Whipple Building in Mpls last week, where he was protesting ICE. I was blown away by his vulnerability, by how deeply he—a 6-time combat vet—feels like his nation is under attack. I just learned that he was among those arrested by federal officials for protesting at the church.
Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

🚨NEW @ms.now: One of the laws the gov't is using to charge Don Lemon & others was initially passed to deter mounting violence from anti-abortion activists.
But the Trump administration is rolling back those prosecutions & pursuing protests focused on houses of worship instead.

As Greg points out, the Times thinks they're doing a dunk on Pretti, when actually they're providing evidence of *motive.* The ICE agents should be charged with Murder 1.
So the homicide was premeditated. Planned in advance. Agents knew they wanted to kill him, so they prepared for the opportunity and took it.
Thanks for helping NYT.

More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

Once again, the New York Times is at its very best when it does not realize the moral or political implications of what it is saying.
That’s what it means to have the best reporters, the largest newsgathering budget, yet to be absolutely morally vacant at its core as an institution. No offense.
