A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are now in CHURCH PARKING LOTS, illegally stopping and demanding proof of citizenship from U.S. citizen families, in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.

In the video, a citizen notices ICE agents patrolling a church parking lot.

When the agents see a family getting out of their car, on their way into church, they cut through the grass and pull up directly next to them.

An ICE agent immediately demands ID.

The family shows their passports and explains to the agent, yes, they are U.S. citizens.

The observer calls the agents out, telling him they should be ashamed for stopping families on church property.

The agent responds by trying to silence the legal observer, ordering him to “get in his car” and stop obstructing.

The legal observer replies, “Why? I’m in a church parking lot. How about you leave.”

And the agents then get in their car and drive away.

ICE agents are illegally stopping and harassing people, on church property, making them feel unsafe to attend church and freely practice their religion.

And yet, not one Republican is outraged.

Which is surprising since last week Republicans screamed about protesters entering a church, claiming it violated the right to “practice religion freely.”

But now, FEDERAL AGENTS are harassing families at church, demanding proof of citizenship, intimidating U.S. citizens from feeling safe to practice religion freely…

and those same people say nothing.

Trump stripped protections from churches, explicitly giving ICE permission to operate on church property, so FEDERAL AGENTS could do exactly what Republicans lost their minds about…

Infringe on religious freedom, and terrorize families where they’re supposed to feel safest.

You can’t claim to support religious liberty while backing a government that is openly attacking it.

@MNSteveSimon Just when I thought my heart couldn’t break more and my fury couldn’t grow. How can he live with himself?!

In Minneapolis, ICE agents chased, tackled, and handcuffed a child in the freezing cold as he yelled, “I’m legal! I’m legal!”

What has America become?

[Jamie Long @Jamiemlong]

ICE actions continue to be dangerous and unconstitutional, violating free speech and civil rights.

Read my op ed with @SenatorChampion and @OmarFatehMN on our plan to let Minnesotans sue for civil damages when their rights are violated.

ICE is too busy harassing children to pick up the criminals our sheriffs are asking them to take.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

People ask me why I am running. Here it is in a nutshell. Hate, fear, and misogyny have no place in our communities. We deserve better from our elected officials. It's time we put people before politics.

Just to be clear: the “tool in the toolbox” that @natalieforhouse wanted to keep is psychological torture that’s opposed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the AMA, the American Psychiatric Association and dozens of others who actually know what they’re talking about. #mnleg

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Tonight at his rally, Trump:

—Said he told NATO allies he wouldn’t defend them against Russia
—Praised Hannibal Lecter, a fictional cannibal
—Promised to appoint a Project 2025 leader to his administration
—Promised to round up immigrants into mass detention camps
—Said he didn’t know what NATO was when he was president
—Praised the Supreme Court for giving him criminal immunity
—Promised to pardon January 6 insurrectionists
—Praised a self-described white nationalist
—Played QAnon music

This all deserves more media coverage.
