🚨BREAKING — Content Warning: Disturbing

ICE/Border Patrol agents have shot a woman, who was a legal observer, in the face and killed her in a Minneapolis neighborhood. Details are still emerging, and the exact circumstances have not yet been officially confirmed.

According to video from the scene, a man heard gunshots and ran outside. The wife of the victim, who was in the car, is sitting on the ground nearby with a dog, visibly distressed. In the video, she is heard saying they had stopped to film, she yelled something, and moments later agents fired, fatally shooting the woman.

What happens next is even more alarming.

A man identifying himself as a physician attempts to approach the scene to provide medical assistance. He repeatedly tells agents that someone medically trained needs to intervene, that the victim is bleeding, and that a doctor is required to assess or pronounce death. Instead of allowing aid, agents point guns at him, threaten him, and force him to back away… leaving the woman shot inside the car without assistance.

Eventually, medics arrive and remove the woman from the vehicle.

This is an active, developing situation. More verified information is needed, but the video raises serious and urgent questions about use of force, denial of medical aid, and accountability.

@nicksortor He said they're Arab American, not Islamic. The % of Arab American police officers is still lower than the percentage of Arab American Dearborn residents. When Anglo Americans thank God, do you react in a similar way? #FAFO When you FA w/ separation of church & state, you FO.

"You're profiling her!"
- "No, we're not."
"So what did she do wrong?"
Silence. Because really, please explain why ICE keeps detaining U.S. citizens. Existence is not a crime.

Jessica: The guy who drove up to the Mormon church… was a Trump supporter. He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard…

When the shoe is on the other foot and you can't demonize the left for this one, they say nothing.

Can anyone describe #GreatReplacementTheory in a way that doesn't sound #racist? Allegedly advocates of this "aren't racist" and that "words are being taken out of context." What is that context outside of #whitesupremacy? #changemymind ~~keep it civil~~

@Brooksvillain @XModsRnazis @KaitMarieox To clarify, this was not a Democrat event, but a nonpartisan #MayDay Since it was also the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, we had a #Catholic speaker who gave a reflection on Catholic values towards workers' rights. KB interrupted & began screaming during the Bible readings.

I ask you to be vigilant against the temptation to cultivate a warlike spirit. Be vigilant lest you be poisoned by propaganda that instils hatred, divides the world into friends to be defended and foes to be fought.

Today, I'm introducing the Ranked Choice Voting Act.

By requiring ranked choice voting in primaries and general elections for Congress, we'll guarantee that all winners have the broad support of the folks they’ll represent.

As outlined in the Florida Forever Plan, the protection of the Withlacoochee River Corridor is vital for maintaining state water quality and supporting local wildlife. Water, as in the thing we drink and need to survive!

Speak up and oppose this land swap. The decision could have lasting effects on Florida’s natural resources and the legacy we leave for future generations.
