Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The administration that spent the first half of 2025 telling us there was nothing wrong with coordinating literally classified war plans on Signal now is saying that it believes it’s a crime to post publicly available information on Signal.
I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.

Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

We’re demanding DHS, ICE, & CBP release all records—including body camera footage—on the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota.

The Trump-Vance admin refuting video evidence and cutting out local authorities raises major concerns about the investigations. We’re fighting for the truth.
