There’s another shooting in Minneapolis this morning involving ICE.

I have no further info except location, which is not helpful to post publicly at this time. Let the trained observers get there first.

Dammit.

There is video. Please take care of yourself and your mental health. And please hold space in your heart this morning for the person who was shot, for their loved ones, for those who witnessed it.

I want to emphasize: the graphic details of what ICE did this morning are •extremely• disturbing. It is important to know what is happening, but that does not necessarily mean having every traumatic detail burned into your brain. Please take care of yourself, and be mindful of how you absorb details as they emerge.

‼️ Twin Cities residents‼️

Citywide vigil, on every block

7:00pm tonight

There is no central gathering location, to prevent further ICE / DHS targeting. Vigil location is wherever you are.

Please contact your nearby neighbors now and spread the word. We want the whole city showing up. This has to end.

According to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison:

ICE is blocking MN investigators from the crime scene. The MN National Guard is on the way to force ICE to let investigators in.

(NB: Still trying to find a confirmed source for this; I have no further info yet)

UPDATE: Source for this is somebody at the scene who heard Ellison say it in conversation. Source is likely reliable person, but may have incomplete info. This is a big game of telephone right now, so don’t treat this as authoritative in any way.

(This comes via neighbor chat, someone hearing a live interview. Wasn’t clear from the message whether that was a broadcast interview or conversation on the ground. Trying to find further info.)

Trump admin now claiming ICE was scared and threatened and murdered this man in self-defense.

Please keep in mind the post below.

Please keep in mind that they lied their asses off •relentlessly• about murdering Renee Good.

Please don’t believe a word that comes out of these people’s mouths, and push back on every news outlet that treat their statement with even a drop of credulousness.

Oh. 💔 My wife and her dad both knew Alex Pretti from the VA Hospital where he was a nurse. “Gentle and such a good listener.”

Democratic Senators be aware:
If you do not vote NO on resolutions that fund ICE, you have NO political future.

“There remains a vast gulf between Trump’s authoritarian aspirations on the one hand and the realities of a complex modern state and society on the other. Obscuring that distinction is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime.”
