A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured - The American Prospect ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public. So The American Prospect created our own running tally.

We updated our record of people immigration agents have killed or caused to die since Trump took office in January 2025.

As of today, agents have killed at least 28 people in the field and 48 people in custody.

The Country That Starts the War Is Wrong That's us.

"We are wrong because we started the war" should be the anchor point for all coverage of what's happening and it's remarkable how quickly that tends to get obscured.

The True Cost of the Iraq War: $3 Trillion and Beyond Writing in these pages in early 2008, we put the total cost to the United States of the Iraq war at $3 trillion. This price tag dwarfed previous estimates, including the Bush administration's 2003 projections of a $50 billion to $60 billion war. But today, as the United States ends combat in Iraq, it appears that our $3 trillion estimate (which accounted for both government expenses and the war's broader impact on the U.S. economy) was, if anything, too low. For example, the cost of diagnosing, treating and compensating disabled veterans has proved higher than we expected.

New York Times is reporting that Trump’s justification for war with Iran is baseless just like George Bush’s justification for war with Iraq. The Iraq war cost to the United States $3 trillion & thousands of lives. www.hks.harvard.edu/publications...

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

They say we live in a bubble when there is a dude so fully ensconced in podcasts, twitter, group chats, and stimulants that he thought he could dress like a literal Nazi and start shooting people in the street and be remembered as a hero

These people live in a shrinking and dying parallel universe

AFGE Demands Resignation or Termination of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller for Smearing Slain AFGE Member Alex Pretti as “Domestic Terrorist” The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest federal employee union representing 820,000 federal and D.C. government workers nationwide and overseas.

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:

“Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer.

“Today, we demand accountability.

“In the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a “domestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota.

“Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

North Minneapolis Chases Out ICE After ICE carried out yet another shooting in Minneapolis, a crowd chased them away and gained control of their vehicles. A firsthand account.

Trump's demotion of Bodino is the first of many fractures that will tear apart Trump's fascist coalition.

Before, they were united by the war they had declared, together, on the rest of humanity.

Now ICE are just murderers who were betrayed by a doddering old man, rightly hated by a whole society.

Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

The people of Minnesota won and the regime is losing. Thousands of neighbors rallied together day after day and proved that these fascists are weak and beatable. The people rejected them, and we’ll continue to reject them.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:

When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Do you understand they are weak and their violence comes from weakness?

If we fight them together, if we link arms, if we say enough in one voice, they will crumble and we will be free to create something better, something we deserve.

I’m begging. Please. See it. Know it.

If I were an actual religious leader in the Twin Cities, I would be thinking about organizing the most enormous public memorial service possible for Good and Pretti. Time it with the next general strike. Put *everyone* in the street for a funeral procession that stretches for miles.
