Another protestor shot by federal agents in Minnesota

There is no “doing it quietly” and carrying out their duties with the sober responsibility demanded of those who serve in difficult times with this administration.

There is theater and policy by bulldozing.

Or perhaps one might note from the Musk image regarding DOGE: These are people who think the chainsaw is the right tool for every job, every time.

No. Just pointing out the duality of liberals on here suddenly feigning concern about the second amendment. I fully support the second amendment, but I don’t own a gun, primarily because owning a gun increases the chance of getting killed by one. I do know how to use a firearm responsibly and have made sure that my kids know how to use one responsibly. I have a number of friends who are LEOs and others who are current or former military and have spent time at the range with my kids. That being said, there is a responsible way to conduct oneself while armed. Pretti was not being responsible.

lol Oh is filming while being armed a crime?

Time to start looking at the bigger picture of what ICE is doing and what the Trump administration's goals are. The ICE actions that are going on right now are extremely inefficient because ICE is just looking for anyone who isn't white and has an accent. ICE is repeatedly sweeping up US citizens and immigrants with legal status and then wasting lots of time processing them and figuring out that they need to be released. And the high visibility of ICE raids has sent undocumented immigrants underground, making it even less likely to find them and detain them. ICE has been in this business for over two decades. They know that the best way to find undocumented immigrants is to raid employers who are known to employ undocumented immigrants. I actually saw an ICE raid back during the last years of the Obama administration in my neighborhood. They raided a tortilla factory. There were about a half dozen ICE agents and a few local cops. If the media hadn't showed up, you would not have known what was going on. But this approach disrupts businesses. The tortilla factory ended up going out of business and is now a huge apartment complex (gentrification at work).

What ICE is doing in communities like Minneapolis has little to do with immigration enforcement. They are picking fights with locals to try to let Trump invoke the insurrection act to impose martial law. If they do this in a number of different places across the US, the Trump administration will then try to suspend 2026 midterms or the 2028 elections. The one thing the Trump administration understands is that it is going to get walloped in the 2026 midterms and there is no Trump successor who can win in 2028.

This is pretty obvious considering ICE's tactics. People have commented about ICE agents lacking adequate training because of the surge in their numbers. ICE agents are getting plenty of training. But it is the wrong training. They are being encouraged to rapidly escalate and using pepper spray and pepper balls to try and goad protestors into escalating. ICE desperately wants to incite a riot to let Trump invoke the insurrection act.

DHS Used Neo-Nazi Anthem for Recruitment After Fatal Minneapolis ICE Shooting

Maia Hibbett

The federal government is openly embracing white nationalist online content — including in a recent recruitment post.

Hey Joe...You're one of the few on here who has a rational, logical, functioning brain...lol

1000%

That’s not why he was shot nor why he was apprehended. He was apprehended because he was ibstructing law enforcement. He was shot because someone saw the gun and called it out while another sees either Petti’s left arm going for his pocket or his right hand holding an object and an empty holster. Was it a mistake, yes, but I question your description and the inference of intent by the LEOs. If he is not armed and if he does not interfere with law enforcement, he is alive today. Carrying a gun involves risk and responsibility.

If this was local police and not Miller's Gestapo, I guarantee the two cops would be charged with murder. One of the Gestapo agents was actually clapping after Petti was murdered. There is nothing acceptable about shooting a man in the back 10 times under the circumstances that occurred in MN. Period. End of story.

The vast majority of these law enforcement officers are not properly trained. Ask a real cop about Petti's killing. If these "officers" are abiding by the constitution why are they masked up?

Hey boomer...You stated it plainly, you don't believe all illegals should be deported...

Well, you lost the election fairly and squarely and in our Democratic system you have to follow the rules and allow those in charge to institute their agenda...WE voted them into power and it's our turn to call the shots...

THIS IS DEMOCRACY...

Cool. Glad you’re taking a stand in disabusing hypocrites on the internet of their foolish ideas. Pardon me if I wonder why you consider it more important to pursue that quest rather than express revulsion at blatant lies by Miller, Bovino, and Noem.

Absolutely false ignorant post by an old man liberal.

Trump and ICE are doing exactly what OBAMA and ICE did, except that conservatives didn't riot and attempt to stop them, as many, but not all liberal protesters, are PAID to do.

Stand on the sidewalk and balk all you want. Go into the street and film or harass, the rules change whether you are right or left wing.

Minneapolis is the exception as these things did not happen in other cities no different than OBAMA----when he said, if you are here illegally we will find you and deport you.

You protested nothing that he did, zero. Trump does it and liberal goof balls, like this poster Roy Roy, attempt to make philosophical posts to sound uniquely intelligent, but fail miserably except for the 90 percent of liberals who lick the boot of anything Anti-Trump with their all mighty up votes--lol!

You all rave about the laws here and there, but are okay with illegals, even sick murderers whom liberal judges let out. But if it were OBAMA......?

I am so glad Trump won as are the majority of Americans.

1.9 million have taken the money and self-deported. Put on your thinking cap Roy Roy, use critical unbiased thinking, not the garbage post that you just posted. Reading comments from or watching CNN with their left wing conspiracy theories, then regurgitating it here, doesn't make you smart.

Pardon the overstatement. Sometimes there is a solid attachment to principle and duty. Even though it’s contrary to his nature, the President has even managed to be party to such things or support them on occasion. And there are a number of highly capable and serious-minded people throughout the military and many parts of the federal government.

It’s just that they too seldom wield enough power to overcome the actions of those lesser souls at the helm.

I am perfectly fine with legal immigration that is controlled and vetted. If businesses need immigrants to fill job openings, then we need to issue appropriate numbers of visas. It protects both America and the immigrants. Illegal immigration should not be encouraged or protected. The illegal immigrants ICE has detainers / warrants for are criminals. That is indisputable. If your local government were to comply with detainer requests, then ICE would not have to be out in the community apprehending the criminals your state or city released. Is there collateral, sure, but that does not mean you stop enforcing the law. Tell you what. ICE should publish a list of all the criminals they are after and you can turn them all over. No collateral necessary.

This is another way of saying you two clowns are in the absolute minority.
