What a failure (and thank God) -- Bovino promised 5,000 arrests but the actual number had to be a fraction of that. Of course, even a few arrests of hard-working refugees is a crime against humanity
Federal immigration officers are pulling out of a Louisiana crackdown and heading to Minneapolis in an abrupt pivot from an operation that drew protests around New Orleans and aimed to make thousands of arrests, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Release the bloodwork.
This officer fled the scene immediately after murdering Renee Good. They say he went to the hospital.
Why isn't the Minnesota State AG subpoenaing the hospital? Let's see that toxicology report. How much cocaine was in his bloodstream?

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.
In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.
It’s not.

The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission.
The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone
