Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

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."

"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."

Man detained in Minneapolis dies in ICE custody in Texas A man arrested by immigration officials in Minneapolis died in federal detention in Texas.

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place.

The only thing keeping Russia from collapsing is oil sales. If the price of oil continues to fall Russia is done. In other news Republicans in Congress want to buy a billion dollars in Venezuelan oil that we can't use. Just buy it with our tax dollars for absolutely no reason propping up prices.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week.

Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car.

Why is any of this necessary?

Frey: "You know what I don't want [ICE] focusing on? Hunting down a dad that just dropped his kids off at daycare, is about to go work a 12 hour shift who happens to be from Ecuador. That guy makes our city a better place."

But in a sense it's actually worse than a war crime, because there is no war. It's just a crime. It's a crimeβ€”murderβ€”whether or not the aircraft can be identified as part of a military force.

ICE Director CAUGHT LYING on LIVE TV About BODY CAM COVER-UP
YouTube video by Katie Phang ICE Director CAUGHT LYING on LIVE TV About BODY CAM COVER-UP

ICE Director, Todd Lyons, is LYING to the American public about why ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, didn’t have a bodycam when he murdered Renee Nicole Good.

I bring the receipts, including the Trump Executive Order that ended the use of body cams by ICE.

As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long timeβ€”that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Well, America chose to destroy itself and apparently the world as well.

So Trump is tired of Ukraine and starts a war. That's right isn't it. Europe and the willing must now go all out to support Ukraine because Trump is willing to attack anybody, not country is safe.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?

There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

look, I may not agree with every decision our president makes, but he is our commander in chief and I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison
