Note from the editors: ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement. The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.
We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.
This is absolutely horrific.

In Trump’s America, if you record a protest, post a meme, or publish an article the regime doesn’t like, you can be woken up in the middle of the night and find this at your door.
If you’re not treating this like a five-alarm fire right now, it won’t stop here.
In time, they will come for you too.

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"

Every law enforcement agency in America knows how to manage the car after an arrest at a traffic stop. The Trump DHS leaves them open on the road like that to terrorize the rest of us. A nationwide policy.

The only reason Homan replaced Bovino as the face of the occupation is because his lies are more polished and he doesn’t dress like a member of the Third Reich in public. But the policies and the state instigated violence remain unchanged.

Why are they so proud of “fully complying”rather than calling their lawyers and fighting this attack on democracy by a lawless regime?

Today's @nytimes.com dialogue with Ross Douthat & Jay Bhattacharya is tough sledding. I wrote a book on how silent transmission made COVID harder to stop and drove misleading narratives. The interview continues to mislead as a means to seize more power.
