There must be a thorough and impartial investigation into yesterday’s Minneapolis shooting, which is the basic standard that law enforcement and the American people expect following any officer-involved shooting. For this specific incident, that requires cooperation and transparency between federal, state, and local law enforcement. Any administration official who rushes to judgment and tries to shut down an investigation before it begins are doing an incredible disservice to the nation and to President Trump’s legacy.
The tragedy and chaos the country is witnessing in Minneapolis is shocking. The killing yesterday of Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen, by ICE agents should raise serious questions within the administration about the adequacy of immigration-enforcement training and the instructions officers are given on carrying out their mission. Lawfully carrying a firearm does not justify federal agents killing an American—especially, as video footage appears to show, after the victim had been disarmed.
A comprehensive, independent investigation of the shooting must be conducted in order to rebuild trust and Congressional committees need to hold hearings and do their oversight work. ICE agents do not have carte blanche in carrying out their duties.
@SenBillCassidy Thank you for being brave enough to say something negative about this administration. Now please for the love of God follow it up with action. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS
The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth.
CONGRATULATIONS TO DONALD ON WINNING THE "I CAN'T WIN THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE BECAUSE I'M WARMONGER AND A CLOWN SO I ATTACKED VENEZUELA AND FORCED THEM TO GIVE ME THEIR PRIZE WHICH I WILL BRING TO ALL MY MEETINGS AND WATCH MY CABINET MEMBERS CLAP LIKE CYMBAL-BANGING MONKEY TOYS."
I’m pissed, but mostly I’m just sad for the millions of people who will suffer because of what Republicans did today.
Many, if not most, are Trump voters. And most probably have no idea what this law will actually mean for them.
“Well, that’s what they voted for.“
“They should’ve known better.”
Sure, maybe. But the brunt of the pain will be felt by babies, kids, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, the poor, people who are barely making it, people who fled danger to save their children.
They don’t deserve this cruelty. No one does. Especially not in the richest country on Earth, where people with the most power just used it to make themselves even richer.
Donald Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since January, but Republicans cared more about making him happy than they did about the people who sent them to Washington to make their lives better.
It should enrage all of us, but it should also motivate us to beat the everliving hell out of every last Republican politician in ‘26 and again ‘28.
ICE is reportedly loading people onto buses right now to be imprisoned in El Salvador without a day in court, in violation of a Supreme Court order. That includes at least one person with Temporary Protected Status and a 19-year-old accused of being in TDA b/c of a water pistol.
Hey Democrats - maybe put down the polls for five minutes and do something about the fact that our government disappeared a Maryland father to a foreign torture dungeon.
Another person who applied for asylum and had a hearing scheduled, disappeared seemingly because of a tattoo he got with his ex-girlfriend. Thought he was going to be deported, instead he's been kidnapped.
OMG! Pete Buttigieg just DEMOLISHED JD Vance on Bill Maher’s show. Vance is a fraud and Secretary Buttigieg perfectly explains how. This is absolutely worth a watch.
I believe @JoeBiden is a good man & has done an incredible job as president. If he is the nominee, I will vote for him & urge everyone I know to do so. But I think he should #stepdown
My ideal ticket? @PeteButtigieg with @AOC as VP. They would tear Trump to pieces.
