ICE must release the body cam footage.

Demand transparency now.

When is this going to stop? This appears to be yet another state sponsored extrajudicial killing on the streets of Minneapolis.

I want to be very careful at this early stage not to get over my skis on this because It’s very difficult to assess events surrounding the attempted detention. There is a woman with a pink jacket on at the scene filming, so another angle I’m sure would help.

On the evidence of the raw footage however, this looks for all the world like an execution in broad daylight. There appears to be a single shot fired followed by 5 rapid shots, all taken at close range.

This is madness

New video shows what appears to be the start of the interaction between the ICE observer and Border Patrol that resulted in the agents killing him. He does not approach with a gun. He approached with a phone in his hand. If he has a gun, it's not "brandished" in any manner

Bovino lies to America.........



Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"



There are now multiple video angles already out
we can all see this is a bald faced defamatory lie!!!
They executed a civilian observer who worked as a nurse for the VA (with no criminal record other than traffic tickets) in broad daylight on camera in front of the world.
SHAME!

Trump admin readying mass 'retribution' campaign 'beyond all comprehension':

Source: raw story


Alexander Willis January 24, 2026 7:42AM ET



The Trump administration is gearing up for a mass “retribution” campaign over the president’s false claims that the 2020 election was “rigged,” NBC News reported Saturday, a campaign that one former federal judge warned may be “beyond all comprehension.”

President Donald Trump has long alleged, falsely, that the 2020 election he lost by more than 7 million votes was "stolen," and has sworn retribution against those he alleges to be involved. He ramped up those calls this week during his address at the World Economic Forum, warning that “people will soon be prosecuted for what they did.”

According to NBC News, a “surge of activity” in Trump’s Justice Department has been observed “in the days since” his remarks, and J. Michael Luttig, a former federal appeals court judge appointed by former President George W. Bush, issued a dire warning in NBC News’ report Friday.


“At this early point in his second term, Donald Trump has himself defined his presidency as one of vengeance and retribution,” Luttig told NBC News..............

Trump reveals to The Post secret 'discombobulator' weapon was crucial to Venezuelan raid on Maduro

WASHINGTON —.............

Trump boasted that the mysterious weapon “made [enemy] equipment not work” when US helicopters swooped into Caracas on Jan. 3 to arrest Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on federal drug and weapons charges — without losing a single American life.

“The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump said during an exclusive interview in the Oval Office.

“I would love to,” the president added, before confirming its use in the stealth operation.

“They never got their rockets off. They had Russian and Chinese rockets, and they never got one off. We came in, they pressed buttons and nothing worked. They were all set for us.”......................

Well, Trump gave the Post the interview so I will have to post it.
It is news --about this new weapon isn't it??--
or maybe he has talked about it previously to other media????
