An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

This case is insane: ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.* The young man they killed had no criminal history. All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs. We don't know officers' names. We don't have footage. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

"We Brooklyn Boys stick together," one CBP supervisor texted Epstein. "Atta boy", Epstein responded. In November 2016, Epstein texted the supervisor that another CBP officer had been “nasty”. “I will speak to him!” the supervisor responded. “I will handle it, formally.”

Wow.

Incredible

"tax collections came in at $115 million — 75% higher than the estimate. And 44% over the top of the range."

That’s a crime

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Concentration Camps

SCOOP: ICE is asking Social Security for peoples' in-person appointment dates and times, and SSA staff are being told to give it to them. From me + @leahfeiger.bsky.social + @zoeschiffer.bsky.social @wired.com wired.com/story/social...

While getting a Bosch spline hammer in your cargo trailer is easy peasy, surprise, if you take it out of the box, it fits *inside* the Ortlieb shopper bag, which is much easier to maneuver on BART. #quaxing

Today marks a significant victory for Rümeysa, due process, & our democracy. She should have never been abducted & transferred thousands of miles away to begin with. The #MA7 is her home—where we always fight for our neighbors.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Video: Jared Kimpton via X (@jared_kimpton)

They didn't search it because they were afraid what it might reveal about important people. Cover up!

Cars are not the solution to moving people. "with kickoff still hours away, the traffic on the way to the Super Bowl is forcing some people to abandon their rideshares and walk on the freeway to get to Levi’s Stadium." www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

At least 200 are feared dead in a landslide that struck a militia-held mine in DR Congo. The mine produces 15 to 30 percent of the world's supply of coltan, a key component in the production of electronics such as laptops and mobile phones. u.afp.com/S2qW

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job. “I’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

Abolishing ICE is a disability issue, too.

Rev. Jorge Bautista was hit in the face by a projectile device while protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Coast Guard Island. He’s seeking $5 million in damages.

"You can’t bring 'transparency and accountability' to an organization whose agents defiantly wear masks while openly threatening citizens with deadly violence. More training won't help. The problem is the organization itself. Ending ICE is what will make Americans safer." — @playtyperguy.com

After Renee Good’s killing in Minneapolis, calls grow for accountability in the off-duty ICE agent shooting of Keith Porter Jr on New Year’s Eve. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

ICE being extremely professional

I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

Chatgpt OCR is so useless, I might be better off getting a new ribbon for my ancient Underwood manual typewriter, and just typing this 180 page doc the way it was originally typed in 1953.

Jan. 1, 2026: Keith Porter shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent in LA.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

As clergy pray, arrests begin

I know we're all focused on Minnesota, and I support the people of the Twin Cities. But I want to remind you that Israel is still doing genocide in Gaza.

ICE just detained a 5-year-old child. Don’t tell us this is about “the worst of the worst.” That’s a lie. Absolutely vile.

AFP freelancer among three journalists killed by Israeli strike in Gaza. Abd Raouf Shaat and two other journalists were killed, Gaza's civil defence agency said, while the Israeli military said it struck "suspects" operating a drone. Shaat had contributed to AFP as a photo and video journalist

It's very telling that the CHP rep is quoted saying they take the *allegations* seriously. Not that they take concerns about racial profiling itself seriously, just the allegations.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

At the Powderhorn Art Sled Rally in Minneapolis, bowling pins with the names of politicians (Erdogan, Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, etc.) sledded down then were demolished by a big, slow-moving ball.

Peralta and Marin. Will this signal finally detect cyclists when this project is done?

4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.
