The case involved Ross punching out a man's window and tasing him while he attempted to drive away; the man shook him off his car, giving Ross injuries that required 33 stitches. The man called 911 to report that he'd been assaulted by ICE and was later convicted of assault on a federal officer.

NEW: Jonathan Ross is former National Guard and Border Patrol and has been part of ICE's SWAT equivalent, a team leader overseeing FBI, ATF, and IRS agents, and a firearms instructor, according to testimony obtained by WIRED. This is from @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:

New: IL Attorney General Kwame Raoul files a lawsuit with the attorneys general of CA, CO, MN and NY “challenging the Trump administration’s illegal attempt to freeze $10 billion in federal funding that provides critical support for children and families.”

I mean thing with ai image generation rn is literally "AI oligarchs okay with pedophilia." But no one is actually just saying it out loud. AI is holding up our economy with porn. Cyberpunk 2077 ass universe

i firmly believe — like you would have to give me hard evidence to convince me otherwise — that they feed trump a steady diet of AI slop

Border Patrol typically only has legal authority within 100 mi. of the U.S. border. That raised questions when Cdr. Gregory Bovino was at the scene of the fatal shooting of Renee Good. MPR News spoke with legal scholar César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández about that agency’s jurisdiction in Minnesota.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

New: Gov. Pritzker, whose state saw at least one fatal immigration shooting, talked to Walz on Wednesday about the playbook to come. The Illinois governor reminded Walz what he was dealing with: "a Trump administration that lied." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

BREAKING: The Hennepin County District Attorney's office says they have jurisdiction to charge the ICE agent involved in the fatal Minneapolis shooting.

Man, Klob's been bungling this opportunity.

Since last year, Trump admin planned what to do if ICE agents were accused of crimes (even murder): Protect them “no matter what." Trump laid out ways to retaliate: —Refuse to hand over an agent —Charge local officials with “obstructing" —Threaten to cut off more funding led by @swin24.bsky.social

Both House veto override votes failed. Two-thirds needed

if trump thought he had a winning hand here he would be the first person in front of the press. they know it’s bad so they send their little pig man out to gobble up the slop

The ironic thing about this is that his identity became known because Kristi Noem mentioned this officer had been hit and dragged by a car in June in Minnesota. Only 1 officer matched that description in court documents. Noem unmasked her own ICE agent.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Collins opponent Janet Mills faults her for casting a decisive vote to sink the Venezuela war powers resolution two months ago: "My problem with Susan Collins is that she never does the right or hard thing the first time when it’s needed most – only when it serves her politically"

I’m joining Rep. @robinkelly.house.gov to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and will use every lever available to end the terror ICE has unleashed on our communities. Stay loud.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

Moskowitz on Noem: "Is she hiding her face like her ICE agents now? By the way - is this what the $800b went to? Every day we see her after some new tragedy, she's wearing a different outfit with a different hat. She looks ridiculous. She deserves to be removed from her job, & if not impeached."

But there is no immunity from criminal prosecution, only civil liability. And there's some precedent for state charges against federal officers when feds won't prosecute. I think the issue here is asking why a U.S. attorney would intervene to stop the FBI from cooperating with local police.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Sen. Tillis says he’s put a hold on DHS nominees “I’d simply like the Homeland Security Secretary to respond to what are now two requests by the chairman to come before the committee, and that's the reason why I placed the blanket hold before the shooting yesterday on anything related” to DHS

By refusing to coordinate with local law enforcement, ICE is not making our community safe. It is making it less safe. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Minneapolis Council Member Robin Wonsley told me Wed. every local official needs to oppose FBI taking over: "Definitely do not trust the FBI, that has given authority for ICE agents to terrorize our communities here in Minneapolis. There's no reason they should be owning the tragedy they caused."

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

they are already turning this into a "debate" and an excuse to scold the left www.thefp.com/p/the-right-...

Jeffries: "The killing of Renee Nicole Good was an abomination, a disgrace, and blood is clearly on the hands of those individuals within the admin who have been pushing an extreme policy that has nothing to do with immigration enforcement connected to removing violent felons from this country"

This AI-generated image of Nicolas Maduro went so viral that the White House reposted it. It started with an X user with fewer than 100 followers, who told me he "never expected this to become the most shared picture worldwide." www.barrons.com/news/never-e...

but you know he is minimally pleasant in a green room so what can you do

i think this professional liar is one of the most disgraceful people in media

"They posthumously determined her to be an enemy of the state because they need her to be one in order to keep their supporters from questioning how Trump uses his power."

The New York Times states it plainly in display type: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

Texas is now the first state in the U.S. to eliminate American Bar Association oversight of its law schools, ending the state's 42-year-long reliance on the national organization.

Wow

One of the organizations the US withdrew from is the European Centre for Countering Hybrid Threats. That group primarily focuses on protecting European democracies from hostile Russian intelligence and military operations. Except the current US government hopes to see those hostile ops succeed.

A 6-year-old just lost his mother. A woman was shot in the face in front of her wife. The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.

There was in fact a fresh OLC memo, per WSJ: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting. You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”

The claim that the shooter in Minnesota was injured and needed to be treated is undermined by a) he was seen walking away from the shooting, seemingly fine, and b) this is the same line the administration used to justify another DHS killing. Its a playbook. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?
