I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

"Yesterday, in Minneapolis, in broad daylight, on video, and in front of many witnesses, a masked ICE officer shot and killed Renee Good behind the wheel of her car. Within minutes, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin was lying about her."

A Killing in Minneapolis. A Gaslighting From the White House.
Minutes after ICE shot her, the Trump administration had already declared Renee Nicole Good a ‘domestic terrorist.’

More strongman moves from a weak President. Good to see these legislators reject the threats of violence and retribution. They stood up to the bully and did what they believed was right. That's how leaders should act in a Democracy.

Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents.
Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.
