🚨 JUST IN: Jacob Frey: If this were about immigration enforcement, ICE wouldn’t be flooding Minneapolis. There are far more undocumented people in Florida, Texas, and Utah.
Why Minnesota? Politics. We have Democratic leadership.
Minneapolis and St. Paul each have ~600 officers. ICE and Border Patrol are now in the thousands, draining local resources, costing millions in overtime, hurting small businesses, and scaring families.
This isn’t public safety. It’s unconstitutional political targeting.
"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."
Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Here are his full comments:
In the current context, we are seeing an actual ���short circuit” of #HumanRights. The right to freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, religious freedom, and even the right to life are being restricted in the name of other so-called new rights, with the result that the very framework of human rights is losing its vitality and creating space for force and oppression. This occurs when each right becomes self-referential, and especially when it becomes disconnected from reality, nature, and truth.
Veteran: My oath impels me to be here. I took an oath in 1969 to defend this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I had to be here to make sure that no one else was killed the way Renee Nicole Good was killed yesterday.
The video shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that the driver of the vehicle turned her wheels to avoid the ICE agents who surrounded her, screamed profanity at her, and gave her conflicting orders.
They escalated the situation, they put the public in danger, they killed her without justification, and they kept firing at her after her car had turned past them.
Everyone should ask why the Trump Administration keeps lying about this — why they are telling you to disbelieve your own eyes.
An American citizen in a peaceful neighborhood gunned down by masked agents sent there to make people afraid.
The Vice President’s lies are despicable.
Walz: "It's beyond me that apparently from the federal government, the Homeland Security director herself, has already determined who this person who, what their motive was, and they hadn't even been taken out of the vehicle. We're not living in a normal world."
Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."
After he ran alongside an American woman's car so he could shoot her in the face, this agent who claims he "feared for his life" casually walks away from the scene of the crime, says "call 911," gets in his car, and DRIVES AWAY.
@DHSgov This is the second the officer made the shot.
There is no way you can say he was worried about getting run over when he is literally next to her driver side window.
This is completely false and I can't believe so many people with high profiles are peddling this myth
The victorious boxer Imane Khelif is a woman. She was born a woman and is not transgender. She's from Algeria where it's illegal to transition
This is bigotry, plain and simple
