"Bovino to Leave Minnesota, But the White Supremacist Agenda is Still in Play" Bovino is the scapegoat for Trump's intentional reign of terror in Minnesota, but as long as Stephen Miller is in the White House, this is just window dressing. Dems must go on offense! open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Bovino is not leaving Minneapolis cause he wants to. Not cause Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Vance or Trump want him to go. He’s leaving because the extraordinary “ordinary” citizens of that great city - by peacefully protesting en masse - kicked him out. Lesson to be learned. We have power.

MAINE. I beg you. It's time to send Susan Collins home. You can do it! #Pinks #ProudBlue

We want to hear from you if you've seen federal agents detain someone in #Maine, if you know someone who is in #ICE custody, or if you have faced repercussions for observing their activities. If you prefer to contact a specific reporter or editor, you can via email or Signal. Click to learn more 👇

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence. It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

So keep pushing. Anything short of ICE’s abolition isn’t nearly enough. And I’d say that even ICE’s abolition should only be the start of ending the violence that came to feel “normal” under Trump.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Q: "The president posted that 'This is a cover-up for the fraud in the state of Minnesota.' He also posted 'Minnesota is a cover-up.'…What is the cover-up?" Leavitt: "Governor Walz and the mayor have been encouraging these left-wing agitators to come out and…threaten ICE."

ABC: Noem said Pretti committed an act of domestic terrorism. Stephen Miller labeled him a domestic terrorist. Does the president agree? LEAVITT: I have not heard the president characterize Mr Pretti in that way

Leavitt throws Bovino under the bus: "Mr Bovino is a wonderful man and he's a great professional. He is very much going to continue CBP throughout and across the country. Mr Homan will be the main point of contact on the ground in Minneapolis"

Definitely read @stevevladeck.bsky.social on how pissed off Pam Bondi made the former Scalia clerk who's the Chief Judge in MN. www.stevevladeck.com/p/205-chief-...

Not a murder. An execution.

“What happened to me then is happening now to millions of women and girls in a new and more terrifying way. Before, someone had to betray your trust and steal something real. Now all it takes is a computer and a stranger’s imagination. Deepfake pornography has become an epidemic.”

On one side is a nurse and a poet dying while saying “Are you okay?” and “I'm not even mad at you dude" And on the other side are armed officers of the state saying “Boo hoo” and “Fucking bitch.” And they want you to believe the first side are the domestic terrorists.

FWIW, on Xitter there are a number of gun rights people, libertarians, and actual conservatives who are (with varying degrees of caution) criticizing the murder. If that keeps up Trump could create a problem for himself, especially given that all those implicated in the murder are attacking 2A.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Important messaging. AOC seeks to stave off civil war. Might be useful to say that.

From Senator Chris Murphy, Connecticut 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.

We need to stand with Minneapolis and stand up to this atrocity in every city across this nation. There is no neutral position. It's ICE or US. It's time the American majority wielded our collective power. Enough of this shit. May the good people be counted now.

Reminder: If the Supreme Court upholds Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, some of the ICE officers currently brutalizing Minnesotans may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation. Just read the Trump administration’s own memo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Secretary of Defense is a sadist who just confirmed he doesn't give a shit about this country or the people who live here: "ICE > MN"? To borrow a phrase beloved by the man he whores himself for: ICE, and Pete Hegseth, are the enemy of the people

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

Van Hollen: "The Trump admin has essentially said to folks at ICE, 'Anything goes. You have a license to kill. And by the way, we won't investigate you. We'll take care of this for you.' When they're calling these Americans 'domestic terrorists,' what they're saying to ICE is we got your back."

And predictably the NRA will remain silent.

What about the ones who voted to fund ICE?

Dear World: Please sanction us in every way possible. All they care about is money. Take it from them wherever possible.

Rep. Bennie Thompson demands the Senate vote against CBP and ICE funding and for the House to immediately take up the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

"ICE needs to be prosecuted... You guys are criminal thugs!"

ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.

I wouldn't be at all shocked if he used it on protesters next.

To all you White people who never cared because it didn't happen to people like you, wake up, it's happening to people like you! #IceOut #ApathyKills #Resist

This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota. He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

seems fairly clear that the ICE guys have been told by somebody "if you kill somebody, local police aren't allowed to investigate the scene, and you need to obstruct them"

ICE and CBP agents are out of control and put everyone in danger. We're calling for ICE agents to withdraw from Minneapolis, and for Congress to rein in ICE’s abuses in our communities.

Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

#ICE #DisbandICE Confirmed by multiple news agencies. There's been another shooting by ICE in Minneapolis. The agents are out of control. It doesn't matter what the person they murdered is accused of. They were denied due process, and they are now no longer alive.

🚨 Reports of another ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Not yet seen any media confirmation yet, but there is video online in front of a donut store. DISTURBING. Unconfirmed. www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...
