The coming protests in Minneapolis are going to make the George Floyd protests look like a walk in the park. Walz needs to call out the National Guard to protect his citizens against ICE. Turn the tables on the bastards.
Minneapolis Mayor Frey is calling for calm, peace and a dignified response from Minnesotans. He knows the feds will use anything other than that to further escalate!
I read this morning that the public schools in Minneapolis have cancelled school for the next two days because after they shot Ms. Good, the ICE goons were terrorizing kids at a nearby high school. The National Guard should be stationed around schools to protect kids from those assholes and the horror that they are causing.
I agree the national guard needs to be called out to protect the people of Minneapolis from these Ice thugs. I would bet many are J-6 pardoned insurectionists😡
I did see Puppy Killer said the ICE agent who shot the woman was involved in a similar situation back in June. Lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice. There's a big problem with this agent and he shouldn't have a gun. Ever. Not professionally or personally.
She also said that he was following his training. Really? You shoot people in the face? If he really wanted to stop her, he could have shot out her tires. I'm not in law enforcement nor have I ever been trained in defense but for Christ's sake, shoot out the damn tires. Any idiot knows that.
We care! We all care! If you’re not horrified by ICE in Minneapolis shooting a woman essentially in the back while she was driving away… you need to reexamine what you’re doing and why. Too much Fox ”news” (not!) ? Too much “Christian” (not!)“Nationalism” (not!) ? This is not America anymore. Supposed to be a republic, (yeah, a republic, republicans!!! Look up what that means!!!) not an empire with a single leader or a police state where police or govt is judge, jury and executioner. This has to stop!
And Fox News (not!) needs to cease to exist. You can’t call yourself “news” and lie and troll the way they do. It’s absolutely unconscionable, irresponsible, dangerous and unAmerican. My heart is broken for Minneapolis, again.
George Floyd, the Hortmans, the Hoffmanns? Now this? How does anyone still support this admin? There is no truth in it, only lies; no order, only chaos; no morality, only cruelty.
I can’t believe the party that helped to end the Cold War has rekindled it and that it supports everything it once vehemently opposed. Tragic!
That’s so awful. I only saw a quick msnow video before Waltz comments so apologies. Video I saw looked like she was was driving away from ICE. I’m just so devastated that this could happen here. I had just recd my green card before Berlin Wall collapsed and remember the hope I had for the world. And I just don’t see how we get back there … obviously still a lot of work to do … but at least there was such hope that the world was moving towards a better future. For women, minorities, and everyone. Now the billionaires don’t seem to have enough. Not enough to have $50 trillion from middle class over last 40 years. They want all of it. They don’t want us to have healthcare, food, services. Where I live in FL they don’t want to pay for an ambulance or a firetruck. They want their own private security for themselves and screw everyone around them. Human life doesn’t matter, only power and more wealth. They take over the beaches with properties that are empty but for 2 weeks of the year. Idk how to get through 3 more years of this. I can’t believe only watch news after it’s been filtered by someone as horrified by it as I am, like Heather Cox Richardson or Adam Kinzinger, Mark Kelly or James Talerico. Thank God for their voices and comments like yours, mbglamb, or I would be finished. Praying for better days and a few impeachments. And that democrats get their messaging together by Nov 2026. If we even have elections anymore by then. Feels like the current Congress is ok with that if they can’t gerrymander their way to a win. Anyway, have a good night and stay safe. Thanks for the correction to my comment. I hope others are as horrified regardless of how she was shot. So far it seems that things like this are being normalized rather than those responsible being held accountable.
I’m tired of waiting and hoping that somehow something will change. This man has to be stopped now before more people are killed, American or not. I wish I could do something, but we the people have no power right now. I feel so hopeless and helpless.
I agree with you Ginger. It is frightening and depressing. I want badly to be positive, but it takes more energy than I have these days. I don't know what more to do. I write weekly to my congresspeople and get canned responses. I write on my Substack about current events, not to provoke but to educate. I'm out of ideas. As I've said all along, Trump doesn't frighten me but those who don't see what is happening that scare the hell out of me. Oh. And Stephen Miller.
You are not alone, remember that, we all feel this way. Please do not give up hope. Keep your hope alive, however you can. Walk away and take a breath if you need to. We need all of us normal, human, reasonable people to fight this. We are in this together. Take care.
If you want to do something more behind-the-scenes (trust me, I get it), you can contact your state AG and ask them to prosecute ICE agents who break the law in your state. There is no way your state's laws or constitution allow kidnapping, murder, or whatever other criminal activity ICE agents are getting up to. We all deserve to live in peace.
I understand your concern (and maybe even fear). Being afraid or worrying about being shot or killed is exactly what they want. The more fear there is, the more people they can abuse (or kill) because you'll be too scared to act or raise your voice.
Trump stirs up anger. It is his weapon. I saw a clip of a rally. Lots of MAGA. How much did people pay to listen to him whine? That is all he does. Complain about previous presidents, calling them horrible. They voted for an evil real estate mogul who campaigned on lowering prices. He can't say grocery store. He keeps talking about how tariffs will pay for everything and how much money they are getting from tariffs. He doesn't understand that "we" pay the tariffs, which is why prices are going up. He is always spending other people's money. Always has. Now he is profiting from the office.
Peacefully protest en masse. Don't block streets don't give them any ammunition but be there. show up. show up outside the House/Senate leader's office. If we don't show up, they win. When I can't or don't feel safe going to a protest, I call/write whatever I can.
“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”
I have only heard of the astonishingly high number of ICE-detainee deaths from Frank Figliuzzi (recommended!).
So my question to your question about "where's the rage" is "do people know about this?"
I have given up wading through the NYT, so I might have missed mainstream coverage. Was there any?
Frank F (FBI retired) clarified that Bureau of Prisons prisoners die of old age, cancer, I'm guessing heart attacks, and Covid a few years back.
ALL of ICE is a black box, intentionally. How did so many people die in ICE custody? Did ICE even make a determination? I wouldn't bet on it. Trump et al don't like records kept: they get you in trouble.
We'll do our best to increase awareness! I'd be surprised if the real number weren't higher. Much higher, if we were to track mortality of those who are no longer in ICE detention (whether because deported or released).
I'm assuming that ICE is intentionally keeping very poor records.
Exactly! Remember that young woman in Chicago that they shot seven times? She survived and they lied about the incident just like they are lying today. And just like today, there were videos to prove that they were lying. What do they have against women?
Well, I think these guys probably hate/ fear a lot of people. They have NO training, they have no emotional regulation, they are heavily armed and incentivized to violence by this regime. It's up to us, somehow, to regain power and put the guilty ones in prison.
Please run for office again someday. As a former Texas Republican that never voted for trump and no longer trust the Republican Party., we need you representing America.
Yes, as a Massachusetts Democrat, I will donate and work for any campaign AK wants to run. I would vote for him over a democrat because he and Liz are the only people we know for absolute sure would sacrifice their careers for their country.
Yes, but I'll say every REPUBLICAN member should be thrown out, and it should have been done a very long time ago. They are still in the majority and they bow and scrape to their mentally ill leader, Trump.
It's not a government. There is no governing going on in DC since January 20, 2025. We WILL take it back in 2026 and 2028 but the damage being done to so many individuals and institutions will take years if not decades to repair. My heart bleeds for so many people.
I was wondering when we’d hear from you. Noem, Hegseth, even Rubio are bought and paid for by Trump. How does he have the ability to know who will be his stepford wives? There is so much going on right now. Madura, Minnesota killing by ICE, Epstein files. Not to mention the torn down wing of the White House. What a sorry mess he’s made of what used to be known as the greatest country around. Total embarrassment from a convicted felon.
I’m not so sure this will be as big of a story as one would hope. This is not the first time innocent civilians have been injured or even died at the hands of ICE. There have been too many instances when the violence is “justified “ because of crowd control. The detention centers (internment camps) are filled with injured people. I’m pretty sure people have died in them and we don’t really hear about it on the news. You’re absolutely correct, Adam, that at the very least our elected officials should be calling this out in condemnation. Crickets.
It’s sad to say but the fact that she was a 37 yo white woman might bring more attention to it … though not as much of a guarantee if it had been a white man.
If that’s the case then hopefully some catalyst from this will lead to real change. Of course that’s what I thought on J6 and the subsequent committee investigation and findings and look how that turned out.
Oh, I have little faith in Congress doing anything; the overwhelming majority of our representatives have shown themselves to be cowards. I think it's on us to apply some pressure to the people who ought to be doing something.
And the woman was an American Couple widow of a US Veteran and had a child! If this doesn’t wake people up I don’t know what will. Faux and the rest have already lied about what happened. Save and repost the videos. I’m an “elderly hippie” but chronic illness makes it impossible for me to protest. We ended the war in Vietnam, secured reproductive rights for women (now gone in many states due to what used to be the Republican Party), we need another generation to get off their complacent a$$es (not talking about all of them obviously) and take up the fight!
I'm supporting young progressives. Ex GOP here, quit all parties after I voted for Ross Perot the 2nd time he ran. I went in the voting booth, looked at the D&R candidates and said F it in total disgust. Voted for Perot then went the next day and changed my registration to small "i" independent. We need to clear out the corporate dead wood.
Yes the orange man-baby is the originator of the evil, but I believe Adam had mentioned that no one in congress was seemingly speaking out against the travesty. I was referencing his statement.
The coming protests in Minneapolis are going to make the George Floyd protests look like a walk in the park. Walz needs to call out the National Guard to protect his citizens against ICE. Turn the tables on the bastards.
Minneapolis Mayor Frey is calling for calm, peace and a dignified response from Minnesotans. He knows the feds will use anything other than that to further escalate!
He can still call out the National Guard to protect the people of Minneapolis from rogue ICE agents.
He should do it while he still can! Confrontation time not rollover time!
He did.
I read this morning that the public schools in Minneapolis have cancelled school for the next two days because after they shot Ms. Good, the ICE goons were terrorizing kids at a nearby high school. The National Guard should be stationed around schools to protect kids from those assholes and the horror that they are causing.

Exactly. What imminent threat was she posing when you can clearly see she was turning away as evidenced by the direction her tires were going.
Mbglamb.....or he could of used his taser. I pray he gets charged with murder by the state this way trump cannot pardon him!
The Jan. 6th crowd is where ICE recruits when the mental prisons run short of animals.
So would I.
True, they were hired by Kristi Noem
We care! We all care! If you’re not horrified by ICE in Minneapolis shooting a woman essentially in the back while she was driving away… you need to reexamine what you’re doing and why. Too much Fox ”news” (not!) ? Too much “Christian” (not!)“Nationalism” (not!) ? This is not America anymore. Supposed to be a republic, (yeah, a republic, republicans!!!

I can’t believe the party that helped to end the Cold War has rekindled it and that it supports everything it once vehemently opposed. Tragic!
They shot her in the face, three times. Which makes this even more horrific. And I agree with everything you said.
That’s so awful. I only saw a quick msnow video before Waltz comments so apologies. Video I saw looked like she was was driving away from ICE. I’m just so devastated that this could happen here. I had just recd my green card before Berlin Wall collapsed and remember the hope I had for the world.

Thanks for the correction to my comment. I hope others are as horrified regardless of how she was shot. So far it seems that things like this are being normalized rather than those responsible being held accountable.
She was driving away and that bastard stood by her window and shot 3 times!
And needless to say, the Epstein files??? With Venezuela and Minneapolis now and threats to Greenland all over the news: Zero mention.
I agree more diversions to distract us from the Epstein files.
Besides the Murder, ICE has regularly BRUTALIZED people who are innocent
Is there no way to stop this ?
This has been going on far too long
What would be the legal way to either disband them or make a drastic change
Walz is calling out the guard; he said it in his news conference an hour or so ago.
ICE needs to be arrested and their ringleader put in jail alongside them. Just keep her away from dogs!!
Excellent
I totally agree! It isn’t getting out of control IT IS OUT OF CONTROL! 👺🌚🖤. 💪🇺🇸❤️🔥🫶🏼🗽
WHO IS GOING TO STOP THIS AND HOW???🥺🥺🥺
I’m tired of waiting and hoping that somehow something will change. This man has to be stopped now before more people are killed, American or not. I wish I could do something, but we the people have no power right now. I feel so hopeless and helpless.
I agree with you Ginger. It is frightening and depressing. I want badly to be positive, but it takes more energy than I have these days. I don't know what more to do.

As I've said all along, Trump doesn't frighten me but those who don't see what is happening that scare the hell out of me. Oh. And Stephen Miller.
Stephen Miller is a walking, talking penis. I'd bet a lot of money that he was shoved into lockers in HS.
You are not alone, remember that, we all feel this way. Please do not give up hope. Keep your hope alive, however you can. Walk away and take a breath if you need to. We need all of us normal, human, reasonable people to fight this. We are in this together. Take care.
The whole system should be either stopped or thoroughly changed. This BRUTALITY has been going on far too long
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO ?
Me too
Each of us has to do something. Tonight I will be meeting the challenger to my local congressman.
I don't have one of those yet. I write to the incumbent, and get canned responses. I feel helpless.
Winner winner chicken dinner! Right on. 👍
Huh?
My reply was to the OP who said he was going to meet a challenger to his local congresscritter.
We the people, we need to keep going at them vocally and by showing up at rallies and protests.
So we can get shot or killed? Sorry, that’s just the first thing I think of now.
If you want to do something more behind-the-scenes (trust me, I get it), you can contact your state AG and ask them to prosecute ICE agents who break the law in your state. There is no way your state's laws or constitution allow kidnapping, murder, or whatever other criminal activity ICE agents are getting up to. We all deserve to live in peace.
I appreciate this concrete action! I will definitely contact my AG. Thank you!
I understand your concern (and maybe even fear). Being afraid or worrying about being shot or killed is exactly what they want. The more fear there is, the more people they can abuse (or kill) because you'll be too scared to act or raise your voice.
That is what they want. Fear. Control. ICE agents have become conditioned like NAZIs. They believe they are doing good for the country.
Or they just like the violence, lots of January 6 in their ranks
Trump stirs up anger. It is his weapon. I saw a clip of a rally. Lots of MAGA. How much did people pay to listen to him whine? That is all he does. Complain about previous presidents, calling them horrible. They voted for an evil real estate mogul who campaigned on lowering prices. He can't say grocery store.

He is always spending other people's money. Always has. Now he is profiting from the office.
When ICE goes home after a day of terrorizing people, they change from their uniforms into their regular daily attire - KKK hoods.
Peacefully protest en masse. Don't block streets don't give them any ammunition but be there. show up. show up outside the House/Senate leader's office. If we don't show up, they win. When I can't or don't feel safe going to a protest, I call/write whatever I can.
“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”
Right there with you, Ginger. This is real.
Freedom isn’t free. They want us scared and compliant. Fuck that.
The innocent woman was murdered, I saw the video 😡
I agree; she clearly was trying to drive away.
Yes, and we all know that ICE has recruited and armed violent men who hate women.
It's not just women, lots of innocent people who have done nothing wrong
Separating parents from their children
Not to mention the so-called detention centers, Alligator Alcatraz and others
30 people have died in ICE custody, and I don't see the rage !
I have only heard of the astonishingly high number of ICE-detainee deaths from Frank Figliuzzi (recommended!).
So my question to your question about "where's the rage" is "do people know about this?"
I have given up wading through the NYT, so I might have missed mainstream coverage. Was there any?
Frank F (FBI retired) clarified that Bureau of Prisons prisoners die of old age, cancer, I'm guessing heart attacks, and Covid a few years back.
ALL of ICE is a black box, intentionally. How did so many people die in ICE custody? Did ICE even make a determination? I wouldn't bet on it. Trump et al don't like records kept: they get you in trouble.
It has been mentioned in several sources, I am not sure where, but it certainly is available on Google AI.I looked it up once
We'll do our best to increase awareness! I'd be surprised if the real number weren't higher. Much higher, if we were to track mortality of those who are no longer in ICE detention (whether because deported or released).
I'm assuming that ICE is intentionally keeping very poor records.
Did you see the report by The Guardian Sun Jan 4…..32 deaths
It was just reported in The Guardian of Sunday Jan 4.
The total s now 32 deaths
Exactly! Remember that young woman in Chicago that they shot seven times? She survived and they lied about the incident just like they are lying today. And just like today, there were videos to prove that they were lying. What do they have against women?
Well, I think these guys probably hate/ fear a lot of people. They have NO training, they have no emotional regulation, they are heavily armed and incentivized to violence by this regime. It's up to us, somehow, to regain power and put the guilty ones in prison.
Yes. Noem and her chickenshit boss should be considered among the guilty, too.
You are right! Video is going viral.
Please run for office again someday. As a former Texas Republican that never voted for trump and no longer trust the Republican Party., we need you representing America.
Yes, as a Massachusetts Democrat, I will donate and work for any campaign AK wants to run. I would vote for him over a democrat because he and Liz are the only people we know for absolute sure would sacrifice their careers for their country.
Vegan animal rights feminist here and 100% for AK. Independence is key!!! So over the Cali Dem Machine 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I Agree…
THIS HAS GOT TO END. Why is Congress mute???
Every Republican Congress person deserves to be thrown out of office!
Yes, but I'll say every REPUBLICAN member should be thrown out, and it should have been done a very long time ago. They are still in the majority and they bow and scrape to their mentally ill leader, Trump.
The Mayor called it out for what it is.
Mark Kelly / Adam Kinzinger !
Kelly and Kinzinger, President and Vice President
You nailed it.
The states need to start bringing assault and murder charges against any government perpetrator committing unjustified violence
Just like the death of G. Floyd.... right down the street.
Murder
This is so messed up. We need to get rid of this administration who just wants to push boundaries.
Such a miserable excuse for a federal government
It's not a government. There is no governing going on in DC since January 20, 2025. We WILL take it back in 2026 and 2028 but the damage being done to so many individuals and institutions will take years if not decades to repair. My heart bleeds for so many people.

WTF I am outraged, angry, and so very sad. Will our leaders speak up? tears, just tears.
I’m not so sure this will be as big of a story as one would hope. This is not the first time innocent civilians have been injured or even died at the hands of ICE.

I hear you, but I think (I hope) you're wrong in this case. There is video; it's everywhere. I'm seeing multiple news outlets covering it.
If that’s the case then hopefully some catalyst from this will lead to real change. Of course that’s what I thought on J6 and the subsequent committee investigation and findings and look how that turned out.
Oh, I have little faith in Congress doing anything; the overwhelming majority of our representatives have shown themselves to be cowards. I think it's on us to apply some pressure to the people who ought to be doing something.
You are spot on. Many people have died in ICE custody and there’s not much out there about
This was a 37-yr-old white woman. Not a black/brown/Hispanic woman. Everything Kristi said was a lie.
…and a born and bred American citizen.
And the woman was an American Couple widow of a US Veteran and had a child! If this doesn’t wake people up I don’t know what will. Faux and the rest have already lied about what happened. Save and repost the videos. I’m an “elderly hippie” but chronic illness makes it impossible for me to protest.

Elected Republican representatives
Some Democrats too. But yes Republicans.
Question - has anyone made a list of the known attacks by ICE and a gender breakdown? Why is it that it seems mostly women?
Very good questions.
Let’s get this right—at the hands of TRUMP.
Yes the orange man-baby is the originator of the evil, but I believe Adam had mentioned that no one in congress was seemingly speaking out against the travesty. I was referencing his statement.
It is murder.
