Duckworth on Senate Republicans: "I gotta be honest with you. When I talk to a few of my colleagues, they had not even seen the videos. It's almost like they put blinders on. They're uneasy."

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... Anonymous, please help expose these murderers. Unmask them asap. They need to be brought to justice.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Eric Garcia: Should Kristi Noem resign? Murkowski: I voted for her. I would not support her again, and I think it’s probably time for her to step down.

Kristi Noem must resign. And if she won’t, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

Gov Hochul: “No one is above the law — no one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not the President of the United States— Make no mistake, when these ppl who have abused the power entrusted to them by their offices are finally out of power, states, including NY, will hold them accountable”

Pretti wasn't "holding a gun." He was holding his phone. An ICEhole took Pretti's handgun from his waistband BEFORE the others opened fire, then they shouted "Where's the gun?" Within minutes Gnome posted a picture of a handgun she got from a website. www.rawstory.com/alex-pretti-...

Hakeem Jeffries: "Kristi Noem is a despicable, corrupt, pathological liar. We've seen her slander not just one, but American citizens, patriotic Americans who were killed without justification on the streets of Mpls ... we are prepared to initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House."

Neil Young. Still showing us the way all these years later.. If you haven't heard, he gifted his entire catalog to Greenland for free. He says he hopes it will "ease some of the unwarranted stress…you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government,”

There is no reforming a terrorist organization. Abolish it. Abolish ICE.

Something to keep in mind about Minnesotans protesting unarmed with guns being pointed at them is that they more or less ALL have access to a gun, but are choosing not to bring one. Bravery isn't holding a gun. Bravery is standing up to other people holding a gun.

This should be a bigger story: White collar criminals are running free so that Donald Trump can pursue his cruel immigration agenda. Trump is reassigning federal law enforcement officers who go after rich criminals to ICE. I’m calling for an investigation.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

The agents who beat and then killed Alex Pretti after they took his gun - they were wearing body cams. That did not stop them. Unmasking them might. Not every time. But it might stop some of them. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

Good Riddance. But Kristi Noem lied about what we saw with our own eyes. She needs to go, too. Immediately.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Abolish. ice. 💔

Rep. Veronica Escobar on a homicide in a Texas immigrant detention facility: "I've learned nothing else from DHS, and I think what's also very telling is DHS tried to deport the witnesses to this homicide"

Now would an excellent time for military leaders that actually stand for the constitution to make their voices heard.

It’s hard to think of a parallel effort in US history to build a domestic agency of violence specialists at the scale of ICE before now.

In Columbia Heights, Minneapolis, ICE goons smashed out the family’s car window, abducting two individuals. The wife of one of the men pleaded with the goons for mercy while cradling their baby. 1/27/26

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

“Internal Slack messages reviewed by WIRED reveal growing frustration within Palantir over its relationship with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and in particular, ICE’s enforcement and investigations teams” www.wired.com/story/palant...

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN! Do not fund the government until a full investigation is performed for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The agents responsible for their execution must be removed from duty and put on trial. The American people demand accountability and an end to ICE & DHS brutality!!!

One of the ways you can tell our democracy is already fallen via judicial coup is that the last three right wing justices all lied under oath and faced zero consequences. As soon as they were able to, they overturned Roe v Wade. That was in 2022. Here we are four years later.

BREAKING: The chief federal judge in Minnesota has just ORDERED the Acting Director of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appear personally in court, UNDER OATH, this Friday and warned that he could be held in CONTEMPT for the agency’s repeated violations of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.”

People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are. Tin soldiers and HOMELAND coming We’re finally on our own

This five year old is still in jail

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend." Read more from @kristenradtke.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

Protests across US on Sunday. "Sunday... saw sizeable rallies against ICE &... Trump... in Washington, DC, New York, Boston, and on the West Coast. In Minneapolis, hundreds braved subzero temperatures, dragging dumpsters into streets & chanting ‘ICE out now!’" english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContentP...

NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.

A federal agent allegedly tried to enter Google’s Cambridge campus in the fall, WIRED has learned. Now, staffers want policies that protect them from immigration officials. www.wired.com/story/google...

We have the power to stop ICE from terrorizing communities and putting lives at risk. It’s time for the Senate to step up.

Bearing Witness open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

If Senate Republicans refuse to strip out the DHS bill to put real constraints on ICE — and hold hostage the vast majority of government funding — then Republicans are complicit in the chaos and own the potential government shutdown. It’s time to stop ICE’s violence.
