So, we can't pay for food for low income families, cancer research, and extending healthcare tax subsidies, but we can pay for political retribution?

"What can Democrats actually do?"

- Vote against funding for ICE and DHS

- State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law

- Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE

- Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident on Saturday morning. Colleagues and a senior law enforcement official identified the man who was shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive-care nurse. Follow live updates.
Minneapolis Live Updates: Videos of Shooting Appear to Contradict Federal Officials
An I.C.U. nurse shot by federal agents was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said. A New York Times video analysis shows he was holding a phone, not a gun.

Many of the people currently being brutally attacked & kidnapped by ICE have paperwork. They have asylum, or temporary protected status, or came in legally through a port of entry, or have green cards, or pending applications. Some even have citizenship. These are being stripped away without cause.

Looking again, the ICE officer never said he had a gun. He said "Get Back" so he could shoot the man without hitting the other ICE officers. Here is the moment he reaches for his gun and yells "Get back". At least three officers are holding the man down. ICE on right is striking him in the head.

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.

Federal agents had barred state investigators from the scene of Saturday’s shooting in Minneapolis, the head of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said, despite the agency taking the rare step of obtaining a search warrant. “We’re in uncharted territory here,” he said. Follow updates.
