Fourteen shootings involving immigration agents.
Same justification every time.
More power. No accountability.

Chris Pappas voted for the Laken Riley Act.
I would not have.

That’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate.

Finally allowed my Christmas Elf toy now Bella has gone home. It makes crackly noises. One ear nibbled after 5 minutes.

Liars! Every single one of them!

ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here

Chris Murphy: "Let's talk about what's at stake here. The president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He's not thinking about the American people at all."

NEW

An initially-secret report for Customs and Border Patrol in 2013 found:

In many vehicle shooting cases, the “driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby … creating justification for the use of deadly force.”

@jtcestkowski.bsky.social: And you see in here a car drive by laying on its horn giving the finger to the Trump administration and its immigration enforcement agents...that was met with cheers from the crowd

@statuscoupnews.bsky.social is capturing it all on-the-ground in Minneapolis

Minneapolis right now—

At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

Luis and Yorlenys, our East Portland neighbors, are in the hospital because of decades of delay, of cowardice, of intentional inaction.

We are not waiting for Congress to find their conscience or the next election cycle.

WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment?

CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

STOP CENSORING YOURSELF! My friend has been missing for 2 months. Have you checked on your neighbors? Have you taken your head out of your a$$? Our f*ck*ng choices got us here. Renee Good, Keith Porter were murdered by ICE, a domestic terrorist organization. This is fascism.

WATCH — @nikkiglaser.bsky.social : “The Golden Globe for best editing goes to… the Justice Department! And the award for MOST editing goes to CBS News.

Yes, CBS News: America’s newest place to See B.S. News.’”

Nikki Glaser calls out CBS News at the Golden Globes while it’s being broadcast on CBS.

“And the award for Most Editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America’s newest place to see B.S. News.”

Frey: "You can't just detain somebody because they look like they're Somali or Latino. To be very clear for the whole country, that is what is happening right now."

This is f*cked up!

There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling.

And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen.

So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

Katy Tur to Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Why don't you trust the FBI to do this on their own?"

🩸🩸🩸 NEVER FORGET: Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸

DHS did not allow my colleagues and me into the ICE processing center over "concerns for our safety or worry for ICE agents." 

That's BS. It is deeply disturbing to think about what ICE is hiding when they are actively denying members from conducting their oversight duty.

WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature?

FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura shares his thoughts about dictatorships and martial law.

Sen. Tina Smith: "How can we trust the federal government to do an objective, unbiased investigation, without prejudice, when at the beginning of that investigation they have already announced what they think happened? ... they have completely destroyed any credibility."

Auchincloss: "When you have a badge & gun and you are interacting with a citizen who has committed no crime, the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment. Nobody watching that video will buy the argument that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face 3 times."

NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.”
BASH: “You are the government.”
NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔

The only honest thing @KristiNoem said today

Leavitt: “Secretary Noem is doing a phenomenal job…All weekend long, you had agitators and violent American citizens out in the streets of Minneapolis protesting. Protesting what exactly?… It's disgusting what we have seen from the left.”

TAPPER: How can assert that there's no ambiguity in this before an investigation has taken place?

NOEM: I had just been in Minneapolis and had been with those officers, had seen what they were facing on the streets, and had talked to their supervisors as soon as the incident happened

ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.

Speaker Mike Johnson: "We should not be limiting funding for Homeland Security at a dangerous time. We need public officials to allow law enforcement to do their jobs."
