NEW: The ICE killing of Alex Pretti, the second in Minneapolis, prompts quick legal action. After ICE agents killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, lawyers responded quickly — leading to one TRO issued before the night's end aimed at preserving evidence of the killing. My report at Law Dork:

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

It's a fascist power grab. And Congress has to put a stop to it.

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

Everything DHS says should be presumed to be a lie. "Videos analyzed by NYT appear to contradict accounts given by DHS officials about the shooting. They said the man approached agents with a handgun and the intent to 'massacre' them. Footage shows the man holding a phone in his hand, not a gun..."

Solidarity with immigrants, US citizens, and *babies*

Senator Elissa Slotkin is also a No on DHS funding. New statement, just in:

This is really something. Mark Warner, one of the more moderate and cautious senators in the Dem caucus, says he'll vote No on ICE funding:

ICE is DETAINING WITNESSES. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's pure police state tactics.

Chuck Schumer says Senate Dems won't support DHS funding. This thing is really moving now.

Holy shit. He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him. His hands were on the pavement when he was shot. He never had his hand on a weapon. Cold blooded murder.

ICE must leave. Now. That is the only response that matters right now. bsky.app/profile/gove...

OMG listen to this and share it as widely as you can. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Dems must learn from history and from Europe this week. Appeasement is read by tyrants as weakness, and it encourages escalation. We are stronger together than apart. The free states/Dem leaders must come together to form new national opposition force. 2/ www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/we-must-ch...

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Miller is as mentally ill as Trump is. He no longer can distinguish between the dark fantasies that bounce around in his mind and the real world around him.

As I write in new post 👇it's time for free state Govs/AGs/Dem Congressional leaders to rally for the people of Minnesota as Europe rallied for Denmark. We must come together to act & speak with one, unified voice. The assault on Minnesota must end. Now. 1/ www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-courag...

Every Democratic governor, attorney general, senator and House member needs to stand up and loudly say in unison: Enough. Trump's war on Americans must end.

Kasparov gets it

A federal judge in Minnesota denies a motion by the Trump admin. to detain two of the three protesters arrested this week for leading a demonstration inside a St. Paul church, where a pastor allegedly works for ICE.

The horrors ICE is engaging in isn’t fake news. Lawyers are giving very specific accounts of people following the asylum process. School staff and neighbors witnessed arrests. Even law enforcement says ICE is ignoring due process, racially profiling citizens, and holding people in awful conditions.

And, the supporting affidavit: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

All three people arrested by the feds in connection with the protest at the ICE pastor's church — Nekima Levy-Armstrong, Chauntyll Allen, and William Kelly — have now been ordered released. Judge's order as to the first two: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Yep. Recall that when JD Vance and Trump were smearing Haitians as pet-eaters during the campaign, Vance said they were here illegally. But most were here lawfully, under TPS. Vance's position was that this program was illegitimate because he said so, which magically made them "illegals."
