The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

10/10 ICE protest sign

Tighten rules on warrants? Body cameras? HOW ABOUT A SIGNED JUDICIAL WARRANT FOR EVERYTHING! HOW ABOUT THEY LEAVE MINNESOTA AND NEVER CARRY OUT ANYTHING AKIN TO MINNESOTA IN ANY OTHER STATE. I DON'T WANT BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE OF THE ATROCITIES I WANT THEM TO STOP. I AM SO FUCKING FURIOUS!!!!

In addition to all our stolen neighbors back, Minneapolis needs billions in federal reparations for the economic damage the US government has intentionally inflicted on this city for no reason beyond exacting some kind of bizarre political and racial retribution

ICE needs to be DISMANTLED NOW. Unconditionally. Not “Reigned In” (Sorry Tina Smith), not Reformed. ICE is an agency that is operating outside the law and murdering people. ICE is not redeemable. Alex & Renee deserve Justice. END ICE.

I keep taking deep breaths and trying to focus on work and things of direct relevance to me, but I keep coming back to the fact that ICE murdered two people, video is absolutely crystal clear that they did, and no one's been fired, much less arrested. We still don't know the perpetrators' names.

I will believe that ICE enforcement has changed on the ground when I stop getting daily notices that armed, masked goons are circling my kids’ schools and trying to sow fear in the parent patrols.

Okay, what if we did the exact same things but the ICE workers had to put their pronouns on their chest?

bro whistles are the NICE option. do you really want to challenge 1,000 nerds with 3D printers to invent something louder and more annoying???

Honestly the longer ICE stays here the more advantage we gain. They have to be gone by spring. If the bike whackos get a shot at patrol it’s OVER.

I hope everything ICE agent wakes up screaming for the rest of their lives to the sound of whistles. Ten years from now go to a bar and whistle and see who jumps.

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

Today, like many other days, is one where someone wants to talk to me about something DHS related. And like I have since the Homeland Security Act was passed in 2002 I said "DHS is a mistake. References to 'Homeland' tend not to lead anywhere good." DHS has never proved me wrong.

My Lyft driver said his friend, who works at a rental car company, said they're not renewing ICE's fleet contract tomorrow, because they have damaged every. Single. One. Of the rentals.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I'm only an observer from the burbs but does the police chief really run MPD. Always seemed to me the real boss is the Police union president.

Leopards ate my mom’s face, couldn’t they just, you know, nibble? (Don’t worry Preya, we will risk our life & liberty for your mom, even if your party finds new ways to threaten her.) www.startribune.com/republicans-...

Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.

You can’t just say “Abolish ICE”. You also have to say “Abolish ICE and throw every person working in the agency into federal prison for crimes against humanity”.

From Today. Literally nothing has changed on the ground in Minnesota besides the average height of the secret police.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

“The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down”

Real Minnesotans who helped jump a car would demand that you not give them credit for this kind of basic decency.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Minnesota should demand Greg Bovino's teeny tiny CBP vest and helmet and put it in the Historical Society next to the 28th Virginia's Confederate Battle Flag we also rightly own.

Just to be clear, The Republican Party is responsible for using our tax dollars to MURDER American Citizens

ICE guys: so yeah you're pretty much going to abolish us now, huh

It’s clear according to the Minnesota state prison system that Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti. Misinformation and lying is what they are best at…

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE Graphic by Mark Boswell/The Minnesota Star Tribune

Thanks for the alert, little car, it's rough out here #minneapolis #abolishICE

In the aftermath of the Minnesota shootings, many Americans have come to the same uneasy conclusion that we scientists reached long ago: you cannot believe anything this government says.

Fun fact: our local comic book store owner, Greg Ketter, is a real superhero. Villains tear gas can’t slow him down. Dream Haven Books and Comics, S Mpls.

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

6. Definitely don't engage in criminal conspiracies in a Signal group, even a vetted Signal group. In fact, if someone contacts you on Signal with ideas for a crime you could do together, assume that person is a fed. But feeding people is not a crime, organizing a neighborhood watch is not a crime

"But we are on a slide into full-blown authoritarianism, what if your ICE Watch group which is legal now gets targeted by a death squad in six months?" I have some thoughts on this question.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Just look at this. The whole crowd moving TOWARDS the vehicle. They shot someone in the back yesterday and instead of running and hiding, this is what our state does.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Come together for what? Progress towards what? I’m genuinely asking. The federal government is murdering Minnesotans and disappearing our neighbors. So if any of these CEO’s want to explain to me personally what I — as a state leader — should ask the federal government for, I’m available.

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

this is not a tiktok it is a documentary

ICE has tackled educators at schools. Stopped people on the street and asked for their papers. Detained US citizens. Used chemical agents on children. Killed one of our neighbors. There has been no remorse. No consequences. Congress can’t send one more cent to this DHS.

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity." Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

I've been covering the federal law enforcement surge into Minneapolis since the very start. Even I'm shocked by how many observers are out on street corners and outside schools today. I saw dozens in a short drive from south Minneapolis to downtown.
