    For the second time this month, a US citizen has been killed by ICE officers in Minneapolis. Renee Good was killed on January 7th, and Alex Pretti was killed on January 24.

    Alex Pretti was filming ICE agents. When ICE agents assaulted a nearby citzen, he stepped in the way. He was then surrounded by 8 agents and brought to the ground. First he was disarmed of his handgun. After he had been safely disarmed, ICE officers shot him to death using at least 10 shots.


    "An eighth agent joins the group. The agent in the gray coat appears to pull a gun from near Mr. Pretti’s right hip. The agent then begins to move away from the skirmish with the weapon.

    At the same time, another agent unholsters his firearm and points it at Mr. Pretti’s back.

    The agent in the gray coat removes the weapon from the scene. It matches the profile of a gun that D.H.S. says belonged to Mr. Pretti. Then, while Mr. Pretti is on his knees and restrained, the agent standing directly above him appears to fire one shot at Mr. Pretti at close range. He immediately fires three additional shots.

    During the military dictatorship here in Argentina, it was always claimed that those who were killed were dangerous armed subversives who were shot in self-defense. Later it was discovered that it was all lies and that they were killing indiscriminately.
    In the USA, they are using the same methods as the dictatorships. Increasingly similar.

    The summary execution of Alex Pretti and Renée Good were atrocities, but not isolated ones. 32 people died in ICE custody last year, and they're two of at least 9 people killed by ICE so far this January alone.
    Not to minimize his murder in any way, but it's impossible to ignore the fact that the American media (and by extension, American society) didn't really take notice of Trump's Gestapo's terror campaign until the victim was a White, native-born, middle-class American male with a CWP.

    2025 was ICE’s deadliest year in two decades. Here are the 32 people who died in custody

    Trump seems very concerned about protestors being shot,
    In Iran. Not so much about the protestors shot stateside, in Minneapolis, by his own forces.
    A tragedy and a shame.

    “Nothing has changed”. Trump's Gestapo continue targeting scores of people regardless of immigration status.
    ‘Nothing has changed’: Minneapolis on edge despite Trump’s de-escalation vow

    "Federal agents continue to rain terror on Minneapolis, Minnesota, and other U.S. cities including Portland and Lewiston, Maine. That violence has made it crystal clear that the goal of attacking immigrants is not simply to create a white nation; it is also to terrorize Americans into accepting the domination of MAGA Republicans."

    I really had high hopes Luigi was going to start something. I've been waiting over 13 months for more rich crooks to get what they have coming. It's easy to get mad at the stupid masked thugs terrorizing American streets. As evil as these murderous grunts are, they're nothing compared to the evil crooked officials that put them out there. The billionaires and CEOs that support this evil fascist authoritarian regime, the politicians and DHS officials. The shameful Fox New executives pushing these lies and excuses. A horrifically dishonest 'news' anchor flashing his phone like a gun, "It looks like a gun, you can't tell that's not a gun..."...
    THAT'S NOT WHAT THE FUCK HE WAS DIONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVIL LYING PIECE OF CROOKED SHIT!!!!!!!

    Holy shit, theses are the people you want to make sure don't ever get a good nights sleep for the rest of their evil lives. DOX them all, bring it to their fucking homes!

    Maybe instead of starting fights when they are totally out numbered and getting themselves beat up and shot protesters could think up new ideas.

    I forget what protest it was they were running over the protestors but I am like flatten the tires and black paint the windshields so they cant see. Run up and poke hole in radiators.

    But I am not so sure I want the whole world migrating to the US, when are we going to get to protest something else?

    What you are describing is not nonviolent protest.

    In the UK only a very small portion of police officers are armed with guns. I actually think this model makes sense. You just don't need a bunch of (or even one) lunatics running around with guns that might otherwise have been violent criminals had they not joined law enforcement.

    I hope this shooting and the other scare tactics ICE and Homeland Security will be a turning point... but I don't know when it will end or what it will take to get there. Every day, sometimes many times a day, something happens that shows this Admin is not going to back down and play nice. I can't imagine having so many "fronts" these people develop. Not just immigration but voters rights, and stolen election of 2020, and setting up bank accounts for newborn babies, not to mention a week ago we were on the cusp of WW3 with Europe over Greenland and we invaded Venezuela, and captured the leader there... and on and on and on.
    How can any group of people working together create so many distractions and projects and "fronts"
    All the while calling Americans "Domestic Terrorists" and avoiding the Epstein Files?

    The No Kings Protests are very popular and encompass many different groups and agendas, but most protesting Trump, corruption, billionaires, cost of living, etc.

    You can also boycott businesses that support ICE, Trump and the Republican party.

    Funny, the only protests I ever see from the right is racist shit, torches, burning crosses, Nazi slogans, fights. Yeah, everything that free speech allows and then some.

    Oh and that little party they had on Jan. 6th.

    It all starts to come undone the moment Trump is impeached, convicted, an removed from office. That is what the American people should focus on.

    I don't really buy into protesting the entire right or left. I view it all as either liberty or tyranny and both those side can be very abusive.

    Would love to see more action against local tyranny's.

    Like these damn HOAs that enable the worst type of personality defectives in society that are hell bent on directly screwing with our everyday lives.

    I had an idea for an HOA victims union of some sort where its like a NATO or something so if any one member gets attacked by their local HOA then all the members of the alliance descend on the neighborhood and stick up for who ever they are picking on.

    Let's make it really simple. If Biden and the Democrats wouldn't have open the boarders up to 12 MILLION illegals to flood into OUR Country not one bit of this would have happened. This is not to mention the hundreds of thousand deaths, rapes, murders, 300,000 missing children sold into slavery and prostitution. If you support this insanity, you should be kick out of MY Country. If you are looking for Blood on someones hands you can look no further than the Democrats you elected. Not ICE, Not Trump.

    That is such a crock of shit. If that is really what you think then you are part of the problem.

    ICE should be able to deport as many aliens as they deem necessary without killing a single citizen. you can't blame this on the democrats. some of you republicans are absolutely ape shit out of your minds right now.

    What happened to

    "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
    With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

    Seems like some of the republicans are the ones that want America to become a land of storied pomp.

    Both Obama and Biden deported far more aliens than Trump did in either term. Obama did more than 3 million, without needing a gestapo to do it. How many did Trump do his first term? Why do you think Miller is so desperate to match that, he's willing to kick out people for parking tickets!
