Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter?
SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note
Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."
Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.
New York Times states it plainly in display type: “Federal authorities said the slain man, Alex Pretti, had approached agents with a gun. But videos show Mr. Pretti was holding his phone, not a weapon, when they pulled him to the ground.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...
Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE
The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast
The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side
He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot
That’s murder
"When I landed in Minneapolis on Monday and saw the size, scope and lawlessness of the federal onslaught unfolding here, I understood that Good’s killing was emblematic of its true mission: to stage a spectacle of cruelty upon a city that stands in stark defiance of Trump’s dark vision of America."
Kristi Noem and the Trump regime's use of a Nazi slogan after the murder of Renee Good.
Thank you, Fr. David. It is a sound warning to all of us.

Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann has written a heartfelt tribute to his late bandmate, Bob Weir.
“ ...my love for him will not, indeed can not, fade away."
Murphy: He's trying to convince you that immigrants are the greatest threat to our democracy to hide the fact that Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy…
He wants us to be at war with each other as a distraction from the fact he is stealing from the American people
Markey: President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary Noem have all peddled lies about Renee and about the shooting in blatant contradiction of what Americans have seen with their own eyes. It is disgusting
HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.
Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
They killed Renee Good and launched an investigation against her widow, trying to paint them both as “domestic terrorists.”
This is what fascism looks like.
Bovino: "Something else here as far as what happened in that Target store is truly I felt sorry for the public, and the reason for that is by and large 90% of the public are happy to see us. They like to engage with us, talk with us and find out about our missions."
This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.
So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters.
Did I get that right?
I know Americans have the collective memory of a goldfish, but I feel like if we chose to, we could emphasize that ICE and DHS are less than a quarter century old. They are not deep-rooted American institutions. It was the *creation* of ICE that was radical and, we now know, dangerous.
At nearly 1,200 events across all 50 states and DC, Americans honored Renee Nicole Good and mourned all the lives ICE has taken and destroyed. #ICEOutForGood
Conservatives should be just as alarmed as liberals right now.
A President deploying a personal police force against Americans is a threat to everyone — not just his critics.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."
Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

We have seen this before in other nations, in other eras. The lesson is always the same: authoritarianism does not arrive all at once. It advances by inches, justified by emergencies, sanctified by fear, and enforced by those who convince themselves they are merely “following orders.” #ICEOUTforGood
ICE Trump regime agents kidnapped a 17 year old boy working at Target, the regime thugs beat and tortured him then dropped him off 9 minutes away from his job site when they realized he was a US citizen, he was bloodied and bruised when witnesses helped him.
This is a new administration. We can do whatever we want now !
That's what a Border Patrol supervisor told Sean Paul Reyes @LongIslandAudit
when he exercised his 5 Amendment right to remain silent at a checkpoint 80 miles from the border.

Former Rep Mary Peltola (R), a Native American, makes it official and announces she will run for Alaksa's Senate seat against Dan Sullivan (R). Polling in Alaska has her now in the lead against the incumbent. youtu.be/Mdgs-jID4T4?...
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
It looks like what is going on in Tehran, but it's the United States of America.
Tonight in Minneapolis.
Federal agents are deploying tear gas and sting balls against activists on the street outside the Whipple Building, where ICE operations are based.
this is a five alarm Fucking With The Money fire and between this and the Greenland threats the rich assholes might want to wake up and realize this dude is going to cost them way more than any wealth tax will
