ICE at the polls: Arizona Republicans push plan to require agents at all polling places | Arizona Mirror Arizona Republicans push bill to station ICE agents at polling places, despite a federal law that bars armed troops at voting sites

We expect to see moves like this in other states dominated by MAGA legislators.

Listen closely to every word.

This matters. Rep. Ted Lieu, a military lawyer and constitutional officer, is laying out facts the media is ignoring.

Watch. Share. Democracy depends on it.

6 Deaths in ICE Custody and 2 Fatal Shootings: A Horrific Start to 2026 - American Immigration Council 2026 has already seen a shocking number of deaths tied to ICE. This includes fatalities in detention as well as shootings involving agents.

Last month, 8 people died in ICE detention centers or due to deadly shootings involving ICE agents. A record number of people died in ICE custody in 2025. But 2026 is already on track to surpass that record-high. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/ice-dea...

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

(H/T longtimehistory)

Bye bye Bovino!!

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday, was a registered nurse who worked in the ICU at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. “He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity and have a career that was a force of good in the world,” a colleague said. trib.al/0Yb3jXF

Opinion | Time for ICE to Pause in Minneapolis Alex Pretti made a mistake, but he wasn’t a ‘domestic terrorist.’

Wall Street Journal editorial board calls for ICE to leave Minnesota. Explain that after the shooting of Renee Good, both Minnesota Democrats and Trump had a chance to calm the furies. But Trump instead sent 1,000 more immigration officers on top of 2,000 already there www.wsj.com/opinion/time...

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Minneapolis Is a Second Amendment Wake-Up Call The federal killing of a Minnesota ICU nurse should worry every American.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

Boycott the World Cup

Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

DHS reporting he approached officers with a 9mm handgun. Does it look like he has a gun in his hand? It’s a phone. He’s filming the interaction.

DHS is lying.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

This is ok tho
