NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!”

An ICE officer fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis is not the first time federal agents involved in immigration have shot a person this year. Here are two shootings, including another fatal one, during the recent Chicago blitz.

Why would you make a real person a major reference in your art if you know nothing about them

I was scrolling through my camera roll to remember what I did this year and I think I tried my best to have as much lightheartedness as possible. Strictly!

In a new interview, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social recalls standing outside a notorious Manhattan immigration court while his father, who is Indian-Ugandan, did his citizenship interview. "I spent four hours waiting not knowing what was going to happen." talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/zohr...

Read @nicolefoy.bsky.social's investigation that prompted the congressional probe. We found that agents had detained >170 Americans this year. More than 20 citizens said they were held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their loved ones.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

The fact that the banner photo features a sign with an article written by the same reporter as this piece is an incredible little Easter egg.

I spoke with Any Lucía López Belloza, the Babson College student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving when ICE deported her. "My 5-year-old sister still believes that I might go home for Christmas," she tells me. www.thecut.com/article/any-...

NEW: A @propublica.org & @frontlinepbs.bsky.social analysis found dozens of cases in recent months which officers deployed "less lethal" weapons in ways that flout the government’s own rules — like aiming at someone’s head, spine or groin and deploying chemical agents near children.
