Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities.

That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment.

We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

I just think it's wild that the armed professionals who wander our streets are allowed to act in fear, but the untrained normal citizens are supposed to know exactly what to do under terrifying circumstances or die

Renee Nicole Good, Keith Porter, Silverio Villegas González, and so many others had families, hopes, dreams, hobbies, idiosyncrasies, inside jokes, favorite things, histories, memories. They were murdered needlessly, and now their loved ones will never get to speak to them again.

They shot an unarmed white woman in broad daylight.

Imagine what they’re doing to undocumented people trapped in ICE camps.

There’s sexual assault. There’s denial of medical care. There’s forced labour. There’s torture.

More than 30 people have died.

Abolish ICE.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

I am outraged by the horrific killing of a legal observer perpetrated by Donald Trump's ICE agents in South Minneapolis. Video footage shows clearly that this killing was unjustified. I demand a full investigation and this agent must be held accountable. www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...
ICE agent fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis amid immigration crackdown
The Department of Homeland Security accused the victim of being a "rioter" and that the ICE officer who pulled the trigger was "fearing for his life." Mayor Jacob Frey rejected claims of self-defense.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

Whatever world order is the one that allows capitalists to exploit is the world order that will materialize. Very little is about national identity or values. Has been this way for a while. The veil is being pulled aside.

It’s five years to the day since Donald Trump’s followers attempted to violently overthrow the democratically elected U.S Government following his repeated false claims that the election had been stolen.

If there was any justice Trump would be in prison, not the White House.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.
