ICE murders another American.

[laughing dog]

Asked and answered. Crime is up in Minneapolis simply by including the crimes perpetrated by ICE. Further, Minnesota Public Radio fact-checked the names and photos of alleged captured criminals and found that they were people arrested long ago, prior to the surge, and had been handed over by Minnesota authorities. The undocumented person that ICE was looking for when they killed Alex Pretti had only misdemeanor traffic offenses according to Minnesota public safety records.

Are you saying that Trump lied?

At this point, I’ll be gob smacked when Trump tells the truth.

Ecuador says ICE agent tried to enter consulate in Minneapolis

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent tried to get into Ecuador's consulate in Minneapolis on Tuesday but was prevented from entering the premises by consulate staffers, the country's Foreign Ministry said.

Ecuador's Foreign Ministry provided few other details. But eyewitnesses working in retail shops near the consulate said they saw immigration agents try to enter the building.

"I saw the officers going after two people in the street, and then those people went into the consulate and the officers tried to go in after them," said one woman, who asked not to be named, citing a fear of retribution by the federal government.

The agents "weren’t able to enter the consulate, from what I could see," she said.

Uh oh... tariffs up to 150% on Ecuador in 3...2...1...

And will people stop fucking taking video in god damn portrait?! For fuck sakes, you are trying to document what happened, and you can't tell what fucking happened because you filmed it in fucking portrait!

I've never understood while people video in portrait!

I’m guessing the person who filmed this doesn’t record videos very often, they had trouble even keeping the camera pointed at what they were trying to capture for much of it.

Most modern apps are designed primarily for portrait use. Social media, messaging, browsing, and many video platforms are built around vertical interaction. For example, TikTok is essentially portrait-only on mobile, and even YouTube forces viewers back into portrait to access the comment section. Because of that, holding the phone upright becomes the default.

First we had to suffer the indignity, the horror, of watching widescreen films rendered in 4:3 to fit our television screens, now we get the insipidity of skinny video!

I know insipidity is not a word, except now it is. All it takes is once!

A lot may just have to do with the fact that you need to start filming quickly and your phone is already upright when you pull it out.

I remember the first time I saw pan and scan, I think A League of Their Own, and was wondering what the heck just happened.

The Republican congress is complicit as they have not started impeachment proceedings on kristi noem. She's the head of DHS; she should be held responsible for what her agents do. Impeach, remove, disqualify, or be complicit.

There will be no investigation of Pretti's murder.

There will be no investigation of Pretti's murder.

But they will claim to have done a thorough one.

BTW, Minnesota was told that ICE would be removed if Minnesota would turn over their voter roles.

I hadn't read that. If true it shows that Trump is just using ICE as coercion.

Pam Bondi said it.

Gives lie to the assertions about worst of the worst. The worst of the worst is still in the Whitehouse.

Pam Bondi said it.

It wasn't even in question.

If you want to go after where the undocumented immigrants and criminals are, you would want to go to Florida and Texas.

I expected pretense for some kind of attack on Minneapolis and Minnesota in general.

Sadly, I think there are plans to attack the Boundary Waters Recreation Area with mining operations, and it's especially sad because of the correctness of the word "attack".

This is the weaponization of government functions.

Yes, I believe that is a key reason for ICE in Minnesota. Abd of course, Trump must be in line fur some huge kick backs from Twin Metals.
