@netflix If you fire Susan Rice I will cancel my subscription in a nanosecond. I refuse to watch @CBS or @Paramount now. You’ll be added to my list.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

More Than 1,000 Companies Are Suing Trump Over His Tariffs Companies are flocking to challenge the administration's import taxes in court, after the Supreme Court started asking tough questions

NEW: The business world largely stayed out of the Trump tariff fight -- incl. some fearing "blowback" for opposing the administration. But with a SCOTUS decision looming, the floodgates have opened, with 1,000+ companies so far suing to make sure they get refunds if Trump loses tinyurl.com/2yms7p24

Highly important video of the ICE Minnesota shooting.

"The driver ... waves for other [vehicles] to go ahead"

"The agent is not being run over. In fact, his feet are positioned away from the SUV"

"Agents blocked...a physician" from providing medical care.

Jesus.

Need to be careful about sharing photos, but these were taken by Chris Juhn, a photojournalist in Minneapolis.

You can find them on his FB page below. The officer is firing a pepperball.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

Last January, when many of us were telling everyone that Trump's appointees were all terrible, The Washington Post gave thumbs up to many of the worst of the worst.

Hard, hard disagree. You do not need a constitutional amendment to abolish ICE or disestablish DHS. We can do this - but not this year. A new American coalition can do it, but it'll be long after this bunch of soulless opportunists are flushed from government.

β€˜She was an amazing human being’: Mother identifies woman shot, killed by ICE agent Renee Nicole Good, 37, lived in Minneapolis with her partner just blocks from where she was shot.

What really sticks with me: Her son is just 6 years old, and he already lost his father in 2023. Now, not even 3 years later, his mother has been killed. The boy is now an orphan. At 6 years old. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

The NYT reports immigration agents have fired on at least nine people in vehicles over the past four months. Our Angeline McCall looks at incidents in Colorado involving immigration officers and people in vehicles.

Trump's mass deportation raids have led to violent confrontations across the US. Today, a woman originally from Colorado was killed in Minneapolis. Witnesses say she was trying to comply with conflicting orders from agents. The Trump administration calls her a domestic terrorist.

The way ICE officers approached the vehicle involved in today's shooting was counter to their training, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC News.

The official said ICE officers are trained:

β€” never to approach a vehicle from the front;

β€” to approach vehicles or possibly armed people in a β€œtactical L” 90-degree angle to prevent injury or cross-fire;

β€” not to shoot at a moving vehicle;

β€” only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death.

ICE officers are also instructed that firing at a vehicle will not make it stop moving in the direction of the officer.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.

This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.

I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, β€œMove, move, move.”

So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?
