In May 2026, a medevac plane crashed in Ruidoso, New Mexico, while it was on its way to pick up a patient, leaving no survivors. It was the first fatal accident in the US known to be linked to electronic warfare. https://t.co/m92QNjikKk

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

🚨 CONFIRMED: ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minnesota and put her on a plane to Texas despite a judge’s order requiring her release, per the Star Tribune.

Read that again.

A court order said release the toddler… and ICE said no.

This is state-sanctioned kidnapping with a boarding pass.

So the people saying that we need guns to fight against a tyrannical government are now saying the government can execute you for owning a gun.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

Cannot stress enough: any statement from DHS should be treated as propaganda.

Last week they assaulted an innocent man and claimed it was to detain a criminal matching the victim’s description. Turns out the person they said they were after has been in prison for a year.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Owning a gun is legal.

Carrying a gun is legal.

The victim of today's ICE murder doesn't have the gun in his hands during the encounter from any of the video shown. He is on the ground having the shit kicked out of him and being pistol whipped.

Then he is shot repeatedly.

So much for the 2A.

Another angle of federal agents killing a Minnesota legal observer, which appears to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk.

Unconscionable. To both violate other human beings like this and to support it. Tear gassing children….So many must answer a call to conscience.

From @thegrio A Minneapolis neighborhood is demanding answers after a federal immigration operation left a man shot in the leg and a family of six caught in tear gas.

According to witnesses, a van carrying two parents and their children was overwhelmed by gas as authorities deployed crowd control tools near the scene. Three of the children were hospitalized, including a six month old who briefly stopped breathing after exposure.

The incident unfolded as tensions rose over ongoing ICE activity in the area, drawing protesters, law enforcement, and increasingly urgent questions about public safety. Community members say the family was simply trying to get out of the area when their vehicle was hit. Officials have not released full details, and advocates are calling for transparency around the use of force.

🚨Last night, in Minneapolis, federal agents fired green chemical gas into a residential neighborhood after community members showed up to document what was happening on their own block.

Let’s be very clear about what that means…

This wasn’t a federal courthouse.
This wasn’t federal property.
This was people standing in the streets where they live… streets lined with houses, apartments, kids, babies, and pregnant people.

That green gas didn’t just hit people outside. It spread through the neighborhood, into yards and homes.

Agents also threw flash bangs at a family trying to leave because of the smoke, even though they had small children, including a 6-month-old who was later taken to the hospital by ambulance.

And, the green gas matters. This isn’t “normal” tear gas.

That same green smoke has been documented before… in Portland… where it was used by federal agents to “protect” federal buildings.

Independent testing found it contained hexachloroethane, which produces zinc chloride smoke when deployed. The U.S. military stopped using it decades ago because of how toxic it is.

Exposure to this gas is linked to burning skin and eyes, coughing, vomiting, chest pain, and serious respiratory injury, with the risk of delayed and long-term lung damage. This is especially dangerous for infants, children, pregnant people, and anyone with asthma or other respiratory conditions.

Now, federal agents are using it in neighborhoods.

And on top of that… ICE and other federal agents are not supposed to be doing crowd control in residential areas at all.

Their authority is limited to specific federal functions. Crowd control in city streets is not one of them. They do not have blanket jurisdiction to gas neighborhoods because people are in their own neighborhood streets.

So what we’re watching is federal agents:

• acting outside their role
• performing crowd control where they have no jurisdiction
• firing toxic green gas into civilian neighborhoods
• and exposing families inside their own homes to chemicals that cause real physical harm.

This isn’t public safety.
This isn’t lawful enforcement.

This is the federal government treating American neighborhoods like hostile territory… and using chemical weapons to do it.

That should alarm everyone, because there is nothing stopping this from happening in your neighborhood next.

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend.

She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care.

This is her story.

At least she didn’t call Democrats deplorables because it would lead to endless news stories about it for months and used as evidence that she is unfit to do her job.

[Symone D. Sanders Townsend @SymoneDSanders]

A lot of people in this country including the President sound like Research Guy right now. I have some advice:

Do not allow these people to run you out of the room.
Do not stop working.
Do not give them the benefit of the doubt.

They have no idea of your power.

Show them.
