Another ICE murder in Minneapolis

How many agents were on top of that guy?  And they had to shoot him?  

This is the point.  They know they're not going to be held to account, only encouraged.

Yes.

And Democrats just voted to further fund them.

UPDATE 10:09 am:

He won't.  So then what are you prepared to do?  

In fact, he probably had a good laugh when he hung up the phone.  He hates Walz.

Sadly, I don't think it's going to happen.  House Democrats just voted with Republicans to give them more money.  (Update: Senate Dems say they will vote no.)

Where are all the brave survivalist warriors with weapons who generally gather to proclaim to the government, "DON'T TREAD ON ME," and who have barricaded themselves into a standoff in the past?

Even if he had a gun, he was in no position to use it.

"Do you hear the people sing? Singing the songs of angry men."

They're like hyenas.  They go as a group to pick off lone prey.

I can't tell if the police are clearing the barricade or putting it up.  (I believe they're putting it up.)

And what's the story with the guy they tackled?  Looks like he was walking away.  Tensions are very high.  Understandably.  ICE needs to get the fuck out of Minneapolis before the lid blows off.  But that's what they want.

UPDATE 02:48 pm:

The man who was shot was ICU nurse Alex Pretti, his parents said. The officer who shot the man is an eight-year Border Patrol veteran, according to federal officials.

What's his name?

It's the third shooting and second death in Minneapolis this month involving a federal agent, sparking persistent protests across the city despite subzero temperatures.

[...]

The NBA has postponed Saturday's game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors in Minneapolis.

[...]

In a statement, the NBA said the game was postponed "to prioritize the safety and security of the Minneapolis community."

The league intends to play the game Sunday at 5:30 p.m. ET. The Warriors and Timberwolves are also scheduled to play again in downtown Minneapolis on Monday night.

How about the Warriors and the Timberwolves refuse to play until ICE is out of Minneapolis? How about some sort of solidarity with citizens - who pay these guys a fortune to watch them frolic - who are being killed by federal goon squads?

 

Where are all the second amendment fanatics?

"We're not gonna have it."  Not gonna have people organize to protest.  Not gonna have people wear protective gear when they do.  

God, this woman is so despicable.  And stupid.

Bride of Chuckie.

Also...

Jesus Christ.

So now it's a white man, they'll pretend at least to investigate.  

UPDATE 03:48 pm:

My current US representative, Illinois District 17:

Yes. I've contacted my Senators (Durbin and Duckworth).  Have you?  

Still, that wouldn't be enough.  ICE already has already been given more money than the Israeli army!  Can they retract some of that funding?  They need to simply abolish ICE altogether.

UPDATE 04:06 pm:

Well, good.

So sorry to all those murdered, tortured, terrified, and detained in the meantime.

He had a right to carry a gun - Republicans have made that a priority in this country - but how do we even know that gun was his?  Could have been, but it looks like something one of those goons would carry, doesn't it?

Look at this guy come out of the huddle with it.  (Update: see clip from Derek Guy below* - he did have a gun, it was holstered, and it was taken from him before they shot him.)

Why would we believe ANYTHING DHS says?

Amen!

UPDATE 09:34 pm:

Scum.  Pure scum.

Tincher v. Noem Declaration of Witness No 2:

Scum.

This is the fear they want to spread.

Abolish the NRA.

Making America great again.

Boston presente:

UPDATE 10:08 pm:

Yes, we've seen Chuck wimp out before.

I wonder how many people around the world in countries where the United States has backed brutal dictators are thinking, at last, Americans understand.

UPDATE 01/25/2026:

There's a glaring problem with this:  HE NO LONGER HAD IT WHEN THEY SHOT HIM.

Jesus wept.

UPDATE 01/25/2026 09:25 am:

What they also understand is if by some chance they ARE held accountable, like the J6 insurrectionists and killers, they'll be pardoned by Trump.

UPDATE 01/25/2026:

And when it suits their narrative, they'll be doing this again.

Ten!  What does that tell you?  They stood around a man who'd been put down by a bullet in the back and continued to pump more bullets into him.  Then, according to a physician witness, they stood around counting the bullet holes.

These people WANT to shoot people.  They don't even care if the person is already dead.  They WANT to pump bullets into a human being.

They need to be brought to justice.  Even if Trump does eventually pardon them.

UPDATE 01/27/2026:

He was incredibly brave to go out again and try to stand between Trump's Gestapo and citizens.
