When ICE has lost the obedience of the Police, you know you fucked up. This administration is going to completely twist itself in a knot trying to defend this at a time when ICE being a threat to everyone is a household issue.

How can citizens trust anyone in power if the state and federal governments refuse to convict people we have on video clearly committing murders under the law? Perfectly reasonable of the people to consider protecting themselves at that point. Against both levels of “law enforcement”

Even if the gun wasn’t planted, 2A protects his right to carry a gun, and even if he didn’t have a permit for it, the sentence for unlicensed carrying isn’t death!! Also, 2A exists for *literally* this situation, and videos show that he was disarmed by ICE before they shot him.

That's what it looks like to me. The ICE guy shoved a woman in the middle of the street. Same guy pushed another person to the ground and the guy who was attacked looked to be trying to help them. They got sprayed by the same ICE-hole. The others started to attack the man that was shot.

At last. A state pushes back with teeth. A state investigation into each federal murder - or unjustified assault - must happen without FBI cover-ups of the crimes of ICE. Solidarity Blue States! Stand with Minnesota! Help Minnesota! It won't stop with Minnesota!! Your Blue State is next!

Once again a terrorist organization is killing a civilian on broad day. So much for the 2nd amendment. US giga stock of personal weapons is really just for shooting children in schools.

let's stop calling these "federal agents" none of this federal cosplay is legal. and they are "insurrectionists" until the rule of law is properly restored masked proud boy asshats (pardoned or not) wearing masks are not officers of the law without warrants from a judge they can fuck off 🕯️✊🙏

TIME TO ACTIVATE THE NATIONAL GUARD TO COME IN AND SHOOT ANY HEAVILY ARMED MASKED POSER SOLDIER. BETTER TO HAVE A WAR AND TAKE OUT ENEMY COMBATANTS THAN TO DIE SLOWLY BY THIS ILLEGAL GANG OF THUGS. DOES MINNEAPOLIS HAVE A SWAT TEAM? JUST DO IT!

It’s time for MN Gov Walz to create the constitutional crisis with the state police or MN guard now so it’s over before it can be an excuse to screw with voting in November

GOOD. Proud of the patriots in Minneapolis. Vance, Trump, Noem and Miller must be eliminated from public life forever. That is a first step to justice.

Her cottage is on TikTok! Clearly murdered after trying to get ICE goons off two women they were throwing into the ground! Then they piled on him, beating on him and then shot him dead. Then the guy who shot him was quickly taking items off his person and putting it into his pockets.

And reports are that ICE removed ALL the witnesses from the scene - transporting them to the Whipple building?! Next they'll be destroying the other videos. I guess it's illegal to witness an ICE murder now. JFC.

Thank fuck the videos uploaded before they did. I'd not put it past trump's people and ICE to do the China/Iran thing and turn off phone masts and internet "next time", because we know there's fucking going to be a next time.

look at the buildings around. look how many may have security cameras. how many people have phones. they cannot hide it all. everyone has a phone now and instant upload to the internet.

They didn't know someone filmed from the donut shop across the street so they can't suppress everything...but they'll still destroy evidence and tell us not to believe what we all can see clearly in the video

He video is now out. Seen it. And while there's 3-5 seconds missing where she reels back in panic, the final "infraction" is *fully caught*. 100% a hit/execution, by incompetence at most.

I hope that lady is safe. She was beyond heroic in standing where she was and continuing to video. Sadly, she's gonna' be terribly traumatized by what she witnessed. I wish for her peace and safety. I wish that for all of us (except ICE, Border Patrol, the current regime, etc.)

Randi, I’m not sure evidence matters. In what court do we imagine prosecuting ice? The woman they killed is on camera and that didn’t matter. People are only just starting to realize that courts and votes won’t stop this. But they won’t really realize until Ice shuts down key voting in mid terms

More gruesome news in America. The government killing its own while deliberately terrorizing Democratic states and then demanding cover-up. Is this yet another moment where the GOP Congress looks the other way again as the GOP regime destroys America with cruelty and confirms that it is Russia 2?

How is it that federal agents aka thugs have the right to murder American Citizens as well as order cops around? It’s time for these thugs along with Noem & the lil coat wearing Nazi to be arrested! This lawlessness must stop! Abolish thuggish 🧊. #Ice #IceMurders #AlexPretti

If you're a LEO who believes that the laws of the United States of America handcuffs your authority and ability to mete out your brand of justice, you don't deserve the privilege of possessing hancuffs or enforcing the law! You're just a terrorist in battle gear.

on a similar note, i'll be leaning on my new democratic socialist mayor to incentivize cops to actually live in the communities they serve. pay them better than the suburban shitkickers who just see this as another job to come into the cities to knock people around.

Exactly. Not only are they not officers, if they were officers it’s illegal to shoot a person 4 times. I guess we have arrived at Germany 1940. We will now be told that if we don’t comply we will be shot. This is terrifying.

It’s time to say that the people behind ICE are responsible for murdering and abducting people! They give the mask immunity to ICE! They spend money on military weapons, munitions, gas canister and military clothing 🤬! Name the agency not only “federal agents”!

The DHS/Border Patrol spokesman at their presser said DHS wants cooperation & participation of local and state law enforcement - Local officials say ICE refuses to share information and, as stated above, ordered Local LEOs away from the scene of the shooting. Yeah, DHS lies and bullshits the public.

They don’t want any evidence. There have to be consequences for this kind of recklessness and obstruction of justice.

The police should be on site for this to take the report and take the person who passed away and the person who shot them and if it's all of them then they all need to go with the police. This should be a local police issue for them to handle.

I send blistering messages to corp Dem hacks Jeffries & Schumer. And a few more Dems who should be in their positions. The Dems give them enough rope strategy will work. But thanks to obsequious & worthless hand ringers like those two, the GOP may get away with hanging all of us first. GET BUSY!!!!

This is an excuse to hurt innocent people as men in camo , masks and with assault rifles, are tackling, & killing the citizens who enact their rights in Minnesota. This was a gun permit owner tackled, had his gun removed from the holster and was killed. This was The Star Tribune yesterday

WHAT WILL IT TAKE @houserepublicans.bsky.social FOR YOU TO GET @whitehouse-47.bsky.social OUT?!? WE WANT @homelandgov.bsky.social HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL!!! @housedemocrats.bsky.social , EITHER STOP THEM OR JOIN THEM!!! THIS MUST AND WILL END!!!🤬

I sincerely hope that all those people who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary because she was “too arrogant” or Kamala because of her role as a prosecutor are happy with their choice of trump, the single most arrogant and lawless creature on the planet

Attempting to clear police from the scene screams to me, "We want to plant evidence and concoct the next batch of lies to spoon feed to the GOP base who won't fact check a damn thing we say" Never, ever believe a damn thing DHS says, especially ICE Especially when we can see it all for ourselves.

While citizens exercise their democratic rights, Minneapolis has been taken over by murderous Trump’s militia. Time to lock them up.

Which is ALSO an absolute mindfuck, for those of us who LIVED through *everything* MPD and other local cops have done, for the last few decades! MOST of us haven't trusted MPD for years, because of their actions. So SEEING O'Hara be "the reasonable one" is WILD, and hard to reconcile, right now.

Have you completely lost your mind? Do you know the difference between right and left? If this wasn't a typo on your part then you're a complete idiot and a big part of the problem. These goons are J6ers, Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, and other far-right, racist assholes. Wake the fuck up.

Unsurprisingly, this is the thing that got NRA to speak up. . . A white man with a concealed carry license who works for the VA. Had to be a white man, one of them. But the NRA has issued a lite version of a discontent statement

They learned from what happened at the last murder. If they don't preserve the scene, there won't be a scene. Making their own laws, hiding or destroying evidence, carrying guns unholstered, lying about circumstances--serious threat to our entire country. Stay strong, Minneapolis. 💔

When a "suspect" under one of these 10 men DHS scrums suddenly explodes, and the arms and legs and heads of secret police fly in different directions at hundreds of MPH THIS WILL STOP. and it won't stop until then. No one wants to accept that. Maybe everything will go back to 2014 with the midterms

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse from Minneapolis, has been murdered in Minneapolis MN for running to the aid of women who were being attacked by ICE/Border Patrol. Doing a decent thing now is an act that the federal government justifies killing US citizens in cold blood? redruM

There were the usual six seven agents to one person; he was being punched and kicked…. They ARE NOT trained They are not OFFICERS but THUGS

How well we know I spoke to Chi police when we were out for Renee. Invited them to dialogue around ICE thugs replacing them, legal officers,

They are veteran CBP and that IS the TRAINING!!! They've been the overreaching, steroid abusing, violent assholes for DECADES now. "ICE" is just the brown shirt division with a hefty percentage of new recruits.

Where is that phone now? When we will see the video from that phone. It is evidence that should be in the hands of the state police. Along with the gun supposedly carried by the nurse.

dang here's one bsky.app/profile/jcol...

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Holding you to that, my friend (VERY gently, though!🫶), because i've heard from some family who are involved in Law Enforcement, that even OUR COPS are pissed at the Fed Goon Squads. Because they knew after Renee's murder, that EVERY atom of good will they'd built with the public for the last...

few DECADES evaporated that day, and the hole has only been dug deeper since.💔 Admittedly MOST Mpls cops don't live here. And bluntly, I have pretty much NO trust or faith in them. But as a Minneapolis resident, who KNOWS our cops are typically lousy? I do* know that even THEY aren't *this*...

in my heart i believe we have vertical families and horizontal families the vertical is our names, our family tree and offspring and traumas and strengths the horizontal is everyone alive right now when ever now might be. we may not be friends, we may be enemies, but we are family. all of us.

level of gawdawful! Hell, I have a rip-roarin' case of PTSD, that blew UP because I lived at 29th & Fremont during 2020, and THIS shiz is triggering ALL that trauma. And even *I*-who CONSTANTLY b!itch about MPD "Not doin' a damn thing!"...

First, she really didn't say this if you listen to her comments. Second, this headline is from the tabloid Daily Mirror. But, of course, it's being amplified by MAGA and the far right as an example of how how crazy the left has become.

HELP!! someone please take the wheel! military? governors? national guard? anyone??? THIS HAS TO STOP! THESE NAZIS DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF THEY KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE!!!

An unidentified man, thought to be ICE, walked up while the victim was was being wrestled to the ground, took his licensed firearm from him and sprinted out of sight. Then they pumped him full of bullets. This is clearly seen in first video released this morning.
