No thrones. No crowns. No kings.
No negotiation. No surrender. No fear.
Just us. And a few million of our closest friends.

Noncitizen voting in federal elections is already illegal. The SAVE Act doesn’t fix a real problem; it creates one. It builds a giant bureaucracy to hunt for rare cases and ends up blocking huge numbers of eligible citizens who did everything right.

Three-time Trump voter: I voted for him, and I want to apologize. I’m looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment. All he does is lie. He’s unworthy of the presidency, takes bribes openly, and now he’s being openly racist. He’s a rotten man.

"They called me a domestic terrorist. They put me in federal detention centers with the bullet holes all over my body. They had no idea that I wouldn't intentionally damage my almost paid off vehicle, much less be crazy enough to even consider hurting a law enforcement officer."

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need β€œmore training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them toβ€”impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Rep. Morrison: Two Minnesotans are now dead. A poet and a nurse. For what? We cannot lose any more lives. We need a full, transparent, and comprehensive investigation. ICE and Border Patrol need to halt all operations in the state and leave immediately.

"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.

I think it’s safe to assume that we now know why Trump told the Republicans to kill the bipartisan border bill during Biden’s presidency. They’ve been planning this for a long time.

This only happened because DOJ let them get away with Renee Good.

GOV WALZ: "This federal occupation of Minnesota long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. It's a campaign of organized brutality... Donald Trump β€” remove this force from Minnesota!"

He vows DHS will not stop them from pursuing justice.

BREAKING: Trump admin caught red-handed LYING about the man ICE murdered in new video that shows the man just filming them!

In response to the execution of a bystander by ICE agents who beat him senseless before killing him, the Department of Homeland Security smeared the victim as β€œan individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement” because he β€œapproached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.”

But new video shows this isn’t the case at all. One video taken by someone passing by the incident shows the victim filming the officers and then getting accosted. 

Other videos show an ICE agent disarming the man by removing the pistol from his holster β€” which he was legally permitted to carry β€” BEFORE the agents open fire, meaning they indeed did murder an unarmed man who they had already restrained on the ground.

ICE just killed a man in cold blood for no reason, and now the government is once again shamelessly lying about it, just as they smeared poor Renee Good as a terrorist. 

Lock them all up and throw away the key.

Video shows the shooting victim in Minneapolis did not brandish a weapon and that ICE took his weapon BEFORE they assassinated him. It is legal to carry a firearm in MN.

UPDATE 10:40AM:
1: Increase all patrols to South Mpls, and ensure ICE leaves the area and returns to Whipple.

2: Requesting only after care support to go to the site at 26th and Nicollet (Faith Leaders, trauma care, state leaders. ONLY).

Watch here for further action updates.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

The child rapist criminal and murderer Donald Trump reacted to Canada standing up to the corrupt and vicious US, the US leader shrilled:

β€œCanada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements"

Judge ordered 2 y/o child's release. ICE deliberately circumvents the courts, so children become collateral. Judges are bypassed, lawyers are shut out, force is used to clear a path for disappearance. This is not chaos or error. It is deliberate and is happening in Minneapolis.
