David Kurtz warns us not to fall for Trump regime claims, echoed by compliant media, that DHS are probing Pretti's murder:

"As MSNow has since confirmed, the Trump DOJ has decided not to open a civil rights investigation into the Pretti shooting, the same decision it made in the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good."

Don’t Fall for the Bogus Claims That the Feds Are Probing the Pretti Shooting

INSIDE: Stephen Miller ... Renee Good ... Ilhan Omar

^{David Kurtz (Morning Memo)}

"Meta has started blocking its users from sharing links to ICE List, a website that has compiled the names of what it claims are Department of Homeland Security employees, a project the creators say is designed to hold those employees accountable."

"As a student of public opinion, I see these events as constituting a classic 'tipping point' in how voters see immigration — and how they evaluate their leaders on the issue."

"The killing by federal agents of two Americans in Minneapolis this month — Renee Good on Jan. 7, 2026, and Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 — has created a backlash to the administration’s policy of mass deportations and 'immigration enforcement' that is causing voters (in all parties) to move against the president’s agenda."

The ICE shootings are a tipping point

Donald Trump's approval on immigration has collapsed 18 points since taking office, and support for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement has swung 50 points since Sept. 2024.

^{G. Elliott Morris (Strength In Numbers)}

"In social media spaces devoted to everything from knitting to football, conversations have been taken over by outrage at ICE. Yet still, Republicans don’t quite understand how this happened."

"A plurality of Americans now want to abolish ICE, a position that before this year was considered a crazy lefty idea no smart Democrat would want to associate themselves with. Both privately and publicly, Republicans have been telling Trump that he’s losing the public relations battle over Minneapolis."

What Trump and Republicans Never Understood About Immigration

They thought all Americans shared their hatred and bloodlust.

^{Paul Waldman (The Cross Section)}

"He's really upset. This [NYT-Siena] poll shows that he's essentially lost…. He's lost the consent of the governed. He's underwater 16 points in his approval in this poll. And of course, he wouldn't be truthing about it if it wasn't devastating.

You know, Trump needs approval. He needs affirmation. He's desperate for it. And when he doesn't get it, he throws a tantrum. And that's what we're seeing."

Truscott enumerates the ways in which Trump is losing:

He’s losing his health.

He’s losing supporters.

He’s losing Republicans in the House and Senate.

He’s going to lose the midterms.

He’s losing it with ICE.

He’s losing it internationally.

He’s losing it with Wall Street and Banks.

"he won the 2020 election that he lost; the prices of things like electricity and food and drugs and health care that everyone else knows are going up, he thinks are going down 400 or a thousand percent or whatever number he’s got stuck in his mind; he’s the greatest president ever, greater even than Washington and Lincoln; and on and on. But it’s not working, and he knows it, and his people know it."

"He’s 'losing it,' as the saying goes. He is more and more visibly disconnected from the reality the rest of us, and the rest of the world, live in. They can still shoot him up with something that is not vitamin B and wheel him out in front of the public and the press and turn him loose to babble the lies that make him so happy to repeat over and over —" (continued in /13)
