Really hard to put into words how much this TRO says about how lawless the Trump administration is, but I tried to do so tonight at Law Dork — discussing the many lightning-fast litigation moves today in Minnesota after the ICE killing of Alex Pretti. www.lawdork.com/p/the-ice-ki...

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

Every person I know who's ever worked for or with federal law enforcement in any capacity has confirmed this. Border Patrol has been run by and almost entirely staffed with demented white supremacists for its entire existence (since 1924).

If folks don't know what to do with their rage today, and they have cash, I suggest going to standwithminnesota.com and finding someone who needs help

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

Keith Porter was shot and killed by an off duty ICE officer on New Years Eve in LA. The officer alleges Porter pulled a weapon on him but the family and other witnesses deny that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Our own government killing us. In plain sight. & lying. Killing a man who cared for hospitalized veterans; killing a woman who said to the Ice man who killed her: “I’m not mad at you.” Attacking & gassing clergy; terrorizing 5 year olds. Ice is a failure & we should not fund failures or cowards.

The nurses are pissed

Republicans, DO SOMETHING!!!!

“dO sOmEtHiNg!” SHUT THE FUCK UP! Whites chose to treat this like a fucking game by CONTINUOUSLY saying that both sides were the same — you chopped off their arms, and now you’re demanding them to save you after they warned you for YEARS?! Get YOUR people together and tell them to fucking VOTE!

Since @peoplemag.bsky.social is doing such a good job covering this with honesty & the humanity it deserves in spite of this vengeful regime trying to snuff it out, here’s the links to their articles. Give them all the clicks—they earned it.

the two choices in American politics are "yeah they're not exactly where I am on a lot of issues but there's also lots of overlap of my views" and "they are stabbing me in the balls with knitting needles right now" and too many people say "this is the same"

A federal judge issues a restraining order against the feds, barring them from "destroying or altering evidence" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul lawyers escalate their request for an immediate TRO to temporarily halt Operation Metro Surge following today's ICE killing of Alex Pretti — noting three shootings by ICE in the past three weeks, after 11 months of no officer-involved shootings in Mpls.

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Please note that NYT is leading with what the videos show, not the lies from the feds. This is what every news organization should be doing. This is how you cover a government that lies as it breathes. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us/minneapolis-shooting-ice

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

Remember this?

This is a shakedown. This is running the country like the mob. This is “nice state you got there, would be a shame if something happened to it.”

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences. I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands. The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that. I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.

Keith Porter Jr. should be alive. Renée Good should be alive. Alex Pretti should be alive.

There is current proposed legislation to end book banning in New Mexico. www.linkedin.com/posts/pcswee...

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

America’s to-do list: The Senate can and must reject the DHS funding bill — period. Impeach Kristi Noem. Arrest and prosecute the “agents” willfully violating state laws. Unmask and remove these secret police from our streets.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

I see the misunderstanding, you must be unaware that Democrats are the minority party right now because voters wanted it that way. If people wanted to give Democrats the power to restrict ICE behavior, they would have voted for it in November 2024. Next chance is *this* November. Hope that helps!

My simple take is that if you use the murder of yet another person by Trump's goons as an excuse to hate on Democrats you're pretty much lost and any attempt to return you to your senses is effort that needs to be spent elsewhere at the moment.

Not one person has been yelling at Bernie to go to Minnesota. Not one has tagged him to “do something.” Please share those posts because they do not exist. Instead, you all have been yelling at Harris (who is not a public servant) and Schumer and Jeffries, a Jewish man and a Black man to save you.

BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers killed a man in Minneapolis, Attorney General Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids.

This is a MUST-READ affidavit. This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

Alex Pretti was killed in broad daylight by the federal government all because he was out caring for his neighbors. We won’t let them stop us and we will keep watching out for our neighbors to honor him.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Someone told me saying defuncing ICE is not a plausible outcome is doomerism. Like, no. Doomerism is saying Trump has already taken over the US and there is no point in fighting, etc. Even in the face of a lot of evidence that isn't the case. But this is just legislative realism. what is the path?

4/ Hat tip: @joshgerstein.bsky.social for this document bsky.app/profile/josh...

3/ "I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground."

2/ "The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them-he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun." Document: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Imagine this in a trial. Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing Declaration filed in federal court: "I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

The family of Alex Pretti, a Minneapolis man shot and killed by federal immigration agents Saturday morning, released a statement to several media outlets. It begins: "We are heartbroken but also very angry."

I took a walk to the park last night and found this message. It feels like the right moment to share this. 💛 And I mean it.

Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.
