What authority does ICE have to arrest or detain citizens who witnessed a homicide?
Per this report ICE has detained several witnesses
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

At 26th and Nicolett in Minneapolis this morning—
Feds have just shot another person in the streets. Furious community members are gathering. State police and conservation cops here in front of ~50 federal agents.

I don’t know how much longer we can be expected to live alongside the lie that this is not exactly what it looks like: a violent siege, meant to destroy people. The lie makes it even more destructive.

It's really disturbing to see Greenland, an Inuit majority country that has had a popular independence movement for decades already, discussed as strategic chess between colonizing nations.
Everywhere I'm seeing "takes" on the posturing between USA/EU, and not about 50k Inuit people's fuckin home.

From Palestine protests to Indigenous land defence, police are dusting off old, abandoned court orders—”zombie” injunctions—to threaten or arrest organizers
@irinaceric.bsky.social explains how these legal threats are being used to chill social movements.

A far-right party in Canada is imploding over a 22-year-old staffer’s extreme posting online.
I got my hands on audio from @antihate.ca that might leave Canadians asking how the hell someone like this got into politics at all.
It involves Diagolon, "remigration" and some trojan-horse-style plots:
