i understand why people don’t want to talk to the press now, but will being willing to do so helps get the story out from someone who feels safe doing so. rep brad tabke is also doing a lot of anti ICE work openly under his name and i think this takes the heat off others who don’t want attention
I’m not totally sure how to address this but apparently I’m getting kicked out of ICE rapid response for the moment because I’m allowing press ridealongs, with an extremely strict condition that no other observer be identified. Lots of observers have allowed ridealongs and they benefit us.

"Who's city is it Chief?
Bovino: "It's our fucking city."

And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.

We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

I think Minnesota could do a lot worse for a tourism slogan than "Minnesota: we treat Nazis like Nazis"
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

ICE is distinguishable by their rotundity, their stature, their slobby half-civilian uniforms, their visible lack of physical conditioning, and their total lack of training.

Border Patrol is distinguishable because they’re always equipped like they’re about to ship out for Fallujah.

“We attempted deescalation techniques (having six armored officers beat the man senseless, taking away his gun, and pepper spraying him). Unfortunately he was still resisting (alive), so we were forced to escalate (shoot him five times in the back).”

“What was his crime?”

“Assaulting us”

Yes, this is what happened.
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.

ALL MN PROTESTERS

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

Trumpers are attempting to systematically nullify the authority of Minnesota law enforcement agencies. That is a blatant violation of the Constitution, and specifically of the 10th Amendment.
The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."
Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says
A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Dear media,
As you report on another inexcusable act of violence by ICE against the American people, remember:
HOMELAND SECURITY LIES ROUTINELY AS A MATTER OF POLICY.
If you feel compelled to include the Trump regime's version of events, you must include that context.
Thank you.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.
