He pleaded for people to protest peacefully. “They want a show,” he said of the Trump administration. “We can’t give it to them.”

Walz told reporters that he and others had been warning that the heightened ICE operations in the Twin Cities were a danger to public safety. “Today, that recklessness cost someone their life."

Gov. Tim Walz said Wednesday that he issued a “warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard,” a move he called a heads-up for possible mobilization after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman Wednesday in south Minneapolis.

At a press conference early Wednesday afternoon, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey disputed ICE's account that an agent fatally shot a woman in self-defense, calling it a "garbage narrative." "This was an agent recklessly using power … that resulted in someone dying, getting killed,” Frey said.

MPR playing an eye witness account right now of ICE shooting directly through the windshield at her face and not giving her medical care for 10 minutes.

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

While I am no fan of Maduro, the U.S. military attack on #Venezuela is illegal, with no Congressional authorization, & violates international law. And the first comments by #DonaldTrump are about oil & American companies, not the Venezuelan people. Shame! www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Given the tragic events in Washington, D.C., I want to share my thoughts on condemning violence and standing against harmful generalizations about refugees. My full statement below.

2 weeks ago, I condemned President Trump's extra-judicial killings of boats from South American & Caribbean nations, allegedly to stop drugs entering the U.S. Now, Trump is likely to pardon Honduran ex-president Hernandez, who flooded America w/ cocaine. Outrageous! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

The suspect is in custody, & according to D.C. police it was a targeted shooting. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Happy #VeteransDay! I am grateful for the proud and brave service of U.S. military servicemen and women, throughout the course of our nation’s history. Liberty, freedom, equality and justice are all made possible due to veterans’ sacrifices and commitment.
