I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Trump & Vance’s agents saw tens of thousands of people — of all ages & races — come out *in below zero temperatures* to protest their tax-funded violence, their murder of their neighbor. And the very next day, they executed another one. What can Americans conclude from this?

Do not watch the video. They beat then shot the person to death in south Minneapolis Today. It wasn’t just a murder. It was an execution. Watching it won’t help anyone. Warrants must be issued immediately.
