Title: WTF is wrong with Minnesota?
Post by: Custard on December 02, 2025, 11:35:46 AM
The once proud state has turned into a furious dumpster fire under Tempo’s guy Walz. Aww, shucks!

Wondering if Mn can post some news from the fish wrap about all the scandals, tax payer money stolen, and perhaps even rogue white liberal female (the WORST) judges overturning unanimous jury convictions.

I've been told here that nobody cares.

Oh, and there won't be any refunds to the taxpayers who funded this scam while the 2024 Democrat party VP choice and his AG pretended that there was nothing to see.

Yes when something is undeniably a Democrat led dumpster fire, just shift the conversation to “don’t care, mosquitoes, 432hz” 😬

Oh well, at least the farm economy barometer is way up! Purdue surveys lots of actual farmers every single year, not just the one loser CNN found in South Dakota that couldn’t sell his beans.

Thanks Trump.

Haha I personally know Sherman Newlin. I brought a sack of delicious cheeseburgers from the Moonlight General Store to his farm a few years back and had lunch in his shop with his wife and hired man. I had an attractive intern that summer and the hired man said some creepy shit to her. That was fun.

Cash flow was shit starting in late 2023 when the markets started to crater.

Anyways prices are better but input costs remain high, most farmers I know are cutting back on synthetic fertilizer this year and using products like ours that give them the same results at much lower use rates and cost. Most farmers typically over apply which is why we have nutrient runoff issues. This will be good for the environment and their bottom line. Thanks Trump!

While Trump does scare me, and it's bad that the President of the United States can't read, that's only half because of his poor education, mostly it's because he can't see anymore. But it's not a problem in this case, he never learned to drive and would not know how to start the truck.

This is a fairly typical local level.scandal. The problem being a lack of oversight, it is a bipartisan issue.

Corrupt local Republican officials talk about law enforcement and family values. Corrupt local Democrats talk about healthcare and education.

Republicans currently control the small municipalities and rural areas, while Democrats hold sway big cities and urban counties.

I read that Minnesota law made local oversight difficult.

In the Federalist; Madison, Hamilton, And Jay talk about preventing tyranny by the central government via Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances. Note the Unitary executive concept threatens that, but is another issue.

The problem of local corruption is dealt with via Federalism itself, the shared power between the federal and state government. Basically, people are people. It's going to happen. Between the State and Feds, hopefully it gets exposed.

There’s an ongoing public debate about how much Tim Walz — governor of Minnesota — knew about alleged fraud by parts of the Somali community and broader welfare-/aid-program fraud, and what he did once he was aware. Here’s what is known, alleged, or disputed as of now.

✅ What we do know — there were widespread fraud allegations in Minnesota’s welfare/aid programs

Over the past few years, investigators say there have been major fraud schemes involving Medicaid, housing-stabilization services, child-nutrition programs, and bogus “autism centers.”

One of the most publicized schemes involved a nonprofit called Feeding Our Future, which allegedly submitted false claims for meals provided (or claimed to have provided) to children — leading to hundreds of millions of dollars in reimbursements based on bogus data.

As of 2025, dozens of individuals have been charged and many convicted in connection with these fraud cases.

So — there was real, verifiable misuse of aid programs and fraud affecting state and federal funds under programs administered in Minnesota.

👀 What we know Walz says about it (his public stance)

When pressed publicly (e.g., on “Meet the Press”), Walz said: “If you’re committing fraud, … no matter where you come from, what you look like, what you believe, you are going to go to jail.”

He also has argued that the fraud was not limited to any single community, noting Minnesota’s overall generosity and prosperity tends to “attract criminals.”

On record, Walz has resisted taking what critics call “ultimate responsibility” for the systemic failures — instead emphasizing that enforcement and prosecutions have been carried out by federal authorities.

⚠️ Allegations that Walz knew — and ignored or suppressed warnings

A group claiming to be more than 400 employees from the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) says that they alerted Walz — and his administration — early on about suspected fraud, but that no meaningful action was taken. They also accuse the administration of retaliating against whistleblowers.

According to those staffers, the state “disempowered” oversight — specifically the Office of the Legislative Auditor — which allowed fraudulent activity to continue unchecked.

Some commentary and recent opinion pieces argue that the fraud happened “in plain sight.” The rapid increase in certain welfare-funded services (for example, the dramatic rise in “autism centers” and their funding) — which seems implausible if legitimate — are cited as evidence that red flags were obvious long before government acted.


🧾 What is still uncertain or disputed

It is not proven that Walz personally knew the full extent of the fraud — or exactly when he learned it. The claims largely come from whistleblowers who say they reported concerns, but the state agency involved has disputed that the group speaking out on X (formerly Twitter) represents official DHS staff.

The scale and mechanisms of the misconduct are under investigation, especially for allegations that some funds were sent overseas or linked to extremist organizations such as Al-Shabaab. Some law-enforcement sources allege such links, but it’s unclear what has been legally established.

Critics argue that even if Walz was not personally involved, as governor overseeing the state’s welfare systems — including appointing agency heads and shaping oversight policies — he bears political responsibility. Supporters say enforcement was handled by independent agencies and federal prosecutors, not by state leadership directly.

🧑‍💼 So — did Walz know about the fraud? The answer is: probably yes, at least to some extent — but it’s unclear how much he knew, how early, and whether he understood the full scope.

There are credible claims from DHS-associated whistleblowers that they alerted state leadership about fraud early, and a growing body of public reporting showing dramatic anomalies in welfare funding — money flows that look suspicious even on their face.

At the same time, there is no unambiguous public record confirming that Walz personally reviewed or acted on those warnings before federal prosecutions began.

In Nov of 2020 Feeding Our Future sued the Mn Dept of Ed, who the Mn AG's office would represent, over their sites not being approved.
The suit was settled the following month and the money followed.

In March 2021 the Dept of Ed stopped payments due to "serious deficiencies".  Feeding Our Future sued. The suit was settled the following month and the money followed.

In Dec 2021 AG Ellison had a 54 minute meeting with a few people, including Feeding Our Future. He mentions the heat he is getting from agencies. Agencies that he represents.
His campaign allegedly received contributions from 4 individuals the following month.

In Jan 2022 the feds raided Feeding Our Future. Charges were filed for the first 47 in Sept 2022.

3 clips from the 54 minute audio.
The Twotter feed has links to the audio for the clips and a link to the full audio.

Jodi Harpstead was the DHS Commissioner. She resigned early this year. Prior to her 2019 appointment she had been CEO and President of Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota, not that there's anything wrong with Lutherans.
Harpstead apparently understands how the R card works.

Relax, we’re not in George Ryan or even Otto Kerner territory yet.  I like Walz.  He seems like a decent guy, but the reported fraud occurred under his watch.  The buck stops with him. 

Announcing his re-election bid in September was not a good move for Walz.  His administration faces "Walz Fatigue," and third terms rarely succeed for governors.  He should have provided an opportunity for a new group of Democratic candidates to emerge.  Maybe even Amy Klobuchar would consider running. 

Now you would think Walz’s problems would be a great opportunity for Republicans.  The good news for Dems is that the RWNJs have taken over the state party political apparatus.  That means some crackpot like Scott Jensen would be nominated again.  He performed well in rural regions, but his results declined in the more densely populated suburban and urban locations.

Like Illinois, a Republican can win statewide in Minnesota, but they must be moderate, non-threatening and believe in effective government (at least on the face of it).  The last time a Republican won a statewide office in Minnesota was 2006, when Tim Pawlenty was re-elected governor.  He was often described as the “friendly suburban Republican.” 

With someone like Pawlenty leading, Republicans would have a shot at reclaiming the governor’s office.  But even he acknowledges he wouldn’t receive the party’s endorsement today.

Should Mn from IlliniHQ2 move out of Minnesota?

That’s really a question only Mn can answer — but here are a few angles you can consider when talking about it on IlliniHQ2 or thinking it through yourself:

1. Why would Mn want to move?

Weather? Minnesota winters are no joke.

Job or lifestyle changes? Maybe there’s a pull toward Illinois or somewhere warmer.

Wanting to be closer to Illini country? Some Illini fans feel the gravitational pull of Champaign-Urbana eventually.

2. Why not move?

Cost of living in Minnesota can be better than in many other states.

Quality of life is high in a lot of Minnesota communities.

If he’s already established there — job, family, etc. — uprooting might not make sense.

3. The fun message-board answer

If he’s complaining nonstop about the cold, the Vikings, or being surrounded by Gophers fans… then yes, maybe it’s time for him to head south to Illini territory and live among civilized people.

Bottom line

Mn should move only if it improves his life — not just because the board wants to roast him about living in Minnesota.

Mn is straight MAGA. In MAGA - suffering is a feature, not a bug. People are born to suffer. Without suffering, how can we find eternal grace?

Nevermind that the entire arc of humanity has been about making life easier for humans, not harder. The mythology of suffering prevails.

So yes, he should stay in Minnesota, and suffer. It is the path to redemption. Let those pagan Californians hang out on the mosquito free beaches in the sunshine, never having to make "rain dates" for summer events, etc... They will rot in hell for their easy lifestyle.

Necessary guardrails?  She was referring to the actions of the state education department, not the law itself.

The recent report from the MN Office of the Legislative Auditor found that the education department failed to act on warning signs of fraud at Feeding Our Future, failed to exercise its authority to hold the nonprofit accountable to program requirements and was ill-prepared to respond to the issues it encountered with Feeding Our Future.

Walz knew about the fraud. Guardrails weren't put up. The issue was suppressed.
And Omar knew about previous social services fraud from 2018.

Thank you for confirming the point I made.  The legislative auditor’s report clearly identifies where the guardrails were lacking.  Now it's time to act. 

Walz should take full responsibility and replace the education department director and meals program manager.  The legislature should appoint an independent expert or panel to investigate and make recommendations for improving program oversight and enforcement.

Walz should take full responsibility and replace the education department director and meals program manager.  The legislature should appoint an independent expert or panel to investigate and make recommendations for improving program oversight and enforcement. 


Walz knew about it and suppressed it. Nobody is getting a refund.

Nobody is expecting a refund.

The decision about Walz's future rests with the voters, but the fraud claims have seriously damaged his reputation.  I think he should retire after his current term.

Nope. I stayed local so I wouldn't get detained and miss hoops vs tOSU.

He turned around. They pushed him inside the restaurant.
He fled.
He was walking down the street.
He was chased.
Sensing trouble, he ducked into a restaurant. They followed him inside.

2 Pennsylvania men, lol,  have now been added to the fraud charges.

From the 1st Asst US Atty on Thursday ......

"Thompson said the pair dropped into Minnesota because they’d heard the program was “easy money.”

"“What we see in Minnesota is not a handful of bad actors committing crimes. It’s a staggering industrial-scale fraud. It’s swamping Minnesota and calling into question everything we know about our state.”

"These defendants came here not to enjoy our lakes, our beautiful summers or our warm people. They came here because they knew and understood that Minnesota was a place where taxpayer money could be taken with little risk and few consequences,” Thompson told reporters Thursday."

"The fraud, Thompson told reporters, “Eroded our collective sense of statewide self-esteem and confidence.”

My self awareness is great.

I wouldn’t say I shill for Trump. I didn’t vote for him in 2016 or 2020 but the democrats were so bad I supported him in 2024 because his plan checked a lot of boxes for me (and still does) He’s getting shit done that matters to me. 

Half the shit (probably more) you say about Trump is completely unsubstantiated rage bait nonsense that you believe heart and soul. It’s fun poking holes in your assertions and blanket statements that if it’s on the internet it must be true.

The stuff he’s done we actually have real proof of honestly doesn’t bother me that much. Not as much as complete and utter incompetency like what’s going on in MN or hordes of illegals that have no business being here.

And I stand by my assertion that yeah you care a lot more about what a politician says or posts online than anything they actually achieve. Same as your own persona, virtue signal like a mofo online, claim moral high ground on every issue; then admit you do next to nothing to actually impact any issue locally or elsewhere. But yet I’m this horrible insensitive person when I am in multiple charities and spend tons of time and effort and my own money to help others.

“Executing all of his campaign promises with ruthless efficiency” seems like an overstatement. Most of the ones he’s fulfilled were layups. And banning transgenders from women’s sports and pardoning J6ers wasn’t a high priority for many.

I’m not sure he’s that virtuous, but I do think the major policy initiatives he has made are good for America and our allies in the long run, bad for China and Russia, and bad for the globalists. I get that people don’t like how he’s going about it, but I believe it’s necessary. We were really at a crossroads of “are we going to leave our borders open and be complacent and let allies and trade partners bend us over and give our country over to immigrant hordes like Western Europe, or are we going to pull back on the yoke and try to stop the nosedive?”

Thank goodness we are pulling out of the nosedive, despite how much the left hates it, as they see Western Europe as the goal and not a problem.

AI Overview
Historical anti-immigration sentiment in America manifests in restrictive laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) and the Immigration Act of 1924, driven by fears of job loss, cultural pollution, and racial inferiority, targeting groups like Chinese, Irish, Italians, and Southern/Eastern Europeans, leading to propaganda, violence, and policies such as literacy tests, quotas, and bans.

Here are key examples:

Early America & 19th Century

Alien and Sedition Acts (1798): Increased residency for citizenship and allowed deportation of "dangerous" foreigners, reflecting Federalist fears of French immigrants.

Nativist Movements (1840s-1850s): The Know-Nothing Party emerged, opposing Irish and German Catholic immigrants, blaming them for societal problems.

Anti-Chinese Sentiment (Late 1800s):

Chinese laborers were scapegoated for low wages; leading to violence (e.g., Los Angeles 1871) and the Chinese Exclusion Act, banning Chinese laborers and naturalization.

Early 20th Century Restrictions

Immigration Act of 1924 (National Origins Act): Established strict racial quotas favoring Northern Europeans, severely restricting Southern/Eastern Europeans, and banning Asians entirely, remaining until 1965.

Literacy Tests: Implemented to reduce immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, arguing immigrants were less "desirable".

Dillingham Commission: Promoted the idea of "desirable" (Northern European) versus "undesirable" (non-white, non-Protestant) immigrants.

Mid-to-Late 20th Century & Beyond

Post-WWII Nativism: Anti-Semitic attacks by groups like the Christian Front against Jewish immigrants in Boston showed persistent ethnic/religious prejudice.

Targeting Mexican Laborers: During the Great Depression, Mexican laborers were deported under President Hoover, accused of taking jobs.

Modern Nativism: Movements like the Tea Party and anti-immigrant legislation (e.g., Arizona's SB 1070) echo historical themes of economic threat and cultural preservation, continuing debates seen since the 1880s.

AI Overview

Historical examples of xenophobia in the United States include the nativist views expressed by Benjamin Franklin in the 1750s, the nationwide movement of the second Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s, the anti-Semitic and racist elements within the America First Committee in the 1940s, and the conspiracy theories of the John Birch Society in the mid-to-late 20th century.

Benjamin Franklin's Letter to Peter Collinson (1753)

Benjamin Franklin's correspondence, including his 1753 letter to Peter Collinson and his essay "Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind" (1751), contains expressions of anti-immigrant sentiment directed primarily at German immigrants in Pennsylvania.

Fear of cultural and linguistic replacement:

Franklin worried that the German newcomers, who were arriving in large numbers and often "herding together" in enclaves, would not assimilate into the English-speaking mainstream, thereby "Germanizing" the colony instead of the English "Anglifying" them.

Racial and social hierarchy: He used the term "Palatine boors" in a demeaning way and made racialized comments, questioning why Pennsylvania, a "colony of aliens," should be overrun by those of a different "complexion," suggesting a hierarchy of white European groups.

The Second Ku Klux Klan (1920s)

The second iteration of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was a powerful, nationwide organization that expanded far beyond the South, attracting millions of members by capitalizing on post-World War I nativism and a fear of "foreign" ideas and peoples.

Broadened targets: Unlike the first Klan which focused mainly on suppressing African Americans, the second Klan targeted a wider range of groups including immigrants, Catholics, Jews, and others perceived as "un-American".

Mainstream appeal: The KKK rebranded itself as a patriotic, civic organization, using mass advertising and social events to promote a vision of "true Americanism" based on white, Protestant supremacy and influencing national policies like the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924.

America First Committee (Pre-WWII)

The America First Committee (AFC), the largest isolationist organization in US history, was formed to oppose American entry into World War II.

Anti-Semitism and Nazi sympathy: While members had varied opinions, prominent leaders like Charles Lindbergh were known for their anti-Semitic views and Nazi sympathies, blaming Jewish people for trying to "drag us into war".

Racist undertones: The movement's rhetoric was often laced with racist messaging and utilized the "America First" slogan that had previously been used by the KKK to promote white nationalism and racial purity.

John Birch Society (Mid-to-Late 20th Century)

The John Birch Society (JBS), founded in 1958, was a far-right anti-communist group known for promoting conspiracy theories and an extreme form of conservatism.

Conspiracy theories: The JBS leadership, particularly founder Robert Welch, claimed that the U.S. government, including figures like President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Martin Luther King, Jr., had been infiltrated by communists in a vast conspiracy.

Opposition to Civil Rights: The Society was strongly opposed to the Civil Rights Movement, viewing it as a communist front. While the organization did not explicitly stand for white supremacy, its ideology and the actions of many of its local members fostered racial and anti-immigrant sentiment that became the ideological basis for later far-right movements.

It used to be Germans, Chinese, Irish,  Italians, Eastern Europeans, Catholics, Jews ...  Now it's Mexicans, Haitians, Muslims, or anyone that looks like them.

Most people don't know we essentially had open borders until 1924, or that illegal entry was a civil offence from 1924 - 1986.

Very few people oppose fair, common sense enforcement of our immigration laws that respect due process.

AI Overview
Under former President Joe Biden, immigration enforcement involved a shift in priorities, leading to record high border encounters and an emphasis on legal pathways, while resulting in a significant increase in overall deportations/expulsions by the end of his term, though interior arrests of non-priority individuals decreased.

Key Policies and Shifts

Enforcement Priorities: The Biden administration directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to focus interior enforcement efforts primarily on individuals posing threats to national security, border security, or public safety (e.g., serious criminals and recent border-crossers). This resulted in fewer arrests and deportations for less serious offenses compared to the prior administration.

Border Wall Construction Halted: On his first day in office, President Biden issued a proclamation to pause and ultimately end construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, redirecting the funds.

Title 42 and MPP: The administration initially sought to end the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP, or "Remain in Mexico" policy) and the Title 42 public health expulsion authority. However, due to litigation and ongoing border challenges, Title 42 remained in effect until May 2023, and MPP was briefly reinstated before being wound down in August 2022.

Legal Pathways & Humanitarian Parole:

The administration expanded legal avenues for migration, including the use of the CBP One mobile app for scheduling asylum appointments at ports of entry, and created humanitarian parole programs for migrants from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Asylum Restrictions: After Title 42 ended, new asylum restrictions were implemented, which presumed migrants crossing the border unlawfully were ineligible for asylum unless they used a legal pathway or demonstrated exceptionally compelling circumstances.

Border Shutdown Executive Order: In June 2024, Biden authorized an executive order to temporarily shut down the southern border to asylum seekers if the average daily encounters exceeded a certain threshold (2,500 per day in a given week), allowing for immediate removal of those without a "credible fear" of persecution.

Enforcement Results and Statistics

Border Encounters: The U.S.-Mexico border experienced record-high migrant encounters, reaching nearly 2.5 million in fiscal year (FY) 2023, though this number includes repeat crossers.

Deportations and Expulsions: The total number of deportations and expulsions under the Biden administration was substantial. Combining Title 42 expulsions with formal removals, the administration oversaw over 4.4 million repatriations, more than any single presidential term since the George W. Bush era.

In FY 2024, deportations surged to a 10-year high, with 271,000 unauthorized immigrants removed, surpassing the Trump administration's highest annual total.

Interior Enforcement: Interior arrests by ICE decreased significantly due to the narrowed enforcement priorities. Arrests of "criminal aliens" dropped by 57% and deportations of this group fell by 67% in the first three fiscal years compared to the Trump administration.

Legal Immigration: Legal immigration levels and naturalizations reached new highs, with nearly 3.5 million immigrants becoming U.S. citizens during his term and refugee caps increased.

AI Overview
Estimates of the net increase in the unauthorized immigrant population during the Biden administration vary among research organizations, but most indicate a significant surge. The total current unauthorized immigrant population is estimated to be between approximately 13.7 million and 18.6 million as of late 2024/early 2025.

Net Increase

The net increase refers to new arrivals minus those who left the U.S. (emigration, deportations, or adjustments to legal status) or died.

Pew Research Center estimated an increase of 3.5 million between January 2021 and the end of 2023.

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), which adjusts for potential undercounts, estimated the population grew by about 2.5 million (unadjusted) or possibly more between January 2021 and October 2023.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates a total increase of 4.1 million from December 2020 to
March 2025.

One analysis suggests the net increase in the illegal immigrant population could be in the range of 5.5 to 6 million during the Biden administration based on exceeding pre-2020 immigration trends.

Current Total Population

Estimates for the total number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. also vary depending on methodology and the time frame of data collection, with more recent estimates from 2024 and 2025 reflecting the significant recent growth.

Pew Research Center estimated the population at a record 14 million in 2023.

The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) estimated the population at 13.7 million in mid-2023.

FAIR released a 2025 report estimating the total number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. as high as 18.6 million as of March 2025.

Some analyses, such as one from the Heritage Foundation, estimate the number to be around 15.9 million after accounting for some attrition from initial inflows.

These figures are estimates, as accurately counting an undocumented population is inherently difficult due to the challenges of data collection.

No, the Biden administration has not allowed unvetted immigrants into the country; instead, all individuals entering the U.S. through official channels undergo security screening and vetting processes. The claim that immigrants are "unvetted" often stems from political criticism of specific programs like humanitarian parole and the high volume of border encounters, but these individuals are still processed by U.S. government agencies.

Vetting Procedures

All individuals seeking admission to the United States, whether through standard visa processes, refugee resettlement, or humanitarian programs, are subject to security vetting.

Standard Vetting: Vetting is conducted by various U.S. agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the State Department. It involves comprehensive background checks, checking government watchlists, and reviewing law enforcement and immigration records.

Parole Programs: The Biden administration has used humanitarian parole programs on a large scale for individuals from countries like Afghanistan, Ukraine, Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Participants in these programs must have a U.S.-based sponsor and undergo "rigorous security vetting" and background checks before being permitted entry to live and work temporarily in the U.S..

Asylum Seekers: Migrants apprehended at the border or who use the CBP One app to schedule asylum appointments are processed by DHS and issued a notice to appear for court proceedings. Due to high volumes, some migrants have been released into the U.S. pending their asylum claims because of a lack of detention space, a practice that has drawn criticism, but they are still formally processed into the immigration system.

Enhanced Screening: The administration has at times enhanced screening measures, such as reducing the validity period for some employment authorization documents to ensure more frequent vetting and addressing potential fraud risks in certain applications.

The narrative of "unvetted" immigrants is generally disputed by U.S. government officials and some third-party analyses, who state that security screenings are a required part of all formal entry pathways.

AI Overview

The connotation of "horde" is generally negative or neutral-to-negative, implying a vast, chaotic, and often wild or unruly mass of people or creatures, carrying feelings of being overwhelmed, threatening, or uncivilized, stemming from its origin with nomadic warrior tribes like the Mongols.

While it can just mean a large crowd (hordes of tourists), it often suggests a disorganized, sometimes aggressive swarm that lacks control or pleasant manners, unlike a mere "crowd" or "group".

Key Connotations:

Disorder & Chaos: A teeming, unorganized mass, often moving together unpredictably, like "hordes of locusts" or "hordes of fans".

Threat & Ferocity: Historically linked to "barbarian hordes," implying invaders or overwhelming, fierce forces, as seen in fantasy like Warcraft.

Overwhelming Numbers: Suggests an uncontrollable, vast quantity that can be stressful or daunting, even if not hostile (e.g., "hordes of people" at a sale).

Nomadic/Tribal Roots: Derived from Turkic words for "camp" or "army," referring to nomadic groups, which adds a wild, untamed feel.

Examples in Context:

Negative: "Angry hordes parading victims".

Neutral/Overwhelmed: "Hordes of students on bikes made crossing the road difficult".

Historical: "Mongol hordes rode through Termez".

Nevermind that it didn't actually happen.

I asked how much vetting occurred during the migration surge under Biden:

•  Volume overwhelming resources → Leading to rushed processing.
•  Limited access → To foreign criminal databases (many countries do not share records, especially poorer or unstable ones like Venezuela or Haiti).
•  Self-reported information → Often unverifiable.
•  Reduced questioning → For certain nationalities (e.g., Chinese migrants) to speed processing.

A DHS OIG report found screening “not fully effective,” with incomplete data and gaps in recurrent vetting until later stages (often years). At least 99 watchlist individuals were released into the U.S. between FY2021–2023 due to initial clears or errors.

Unvetted Crossings: Gotaways

An estimated 1.5–2 million “gotaways” (migrants detected evading capture via surveillance but not apprehended) received no vetting at all—no biometrics, no database checks. These represent a complete bypass of screening.

Terrorism Watchlist Encounters

Over 380–400 individuals on the terrorist watchlist were encountered at the southwest border under Biden (vs. fewer than 20 total under Trump), mostly leading to detention or removal, but some releases occurred.

In summary, while encountered migrants underwent database screening (more than zero vetting but limited in depth and reliability), the record volume strained the system, and gotaways highlight a significant portion with effectively no vetting.

Official DHS/CBP sources emphasize robust processes for encounters, while independent and oversight reports highlight shortcomings exacerbated by the surge.

It was. Ask the Catholic and Lutheran 'charitable' organizations.
Then add in the free phones, hotel rooms, transportation and loaded credit cards once they crossed the border.
And Martha's Vineyard was fairly organized also. They got the migrants bussed out of town in no time. They're not racist in Martha's Vineyard tho.

Does a Pardon Require Admission of Guilt?

Yes, usually: For a pardon, applicants must demonstrate acceptance of responsibility for the crime. No Innocence Implied: A pardon doesn't mean you're innocent; it's forgiveness after accepting guilt and showing good behavior.

Commutation: Doesn't necessarily imply guilt; it's about the sentence's fairness.

AI. And assuming that I asked the same question, word for word.

Does a pardon require admission of guilt

No, a pardon—particularly a U.S. presidential pardon—does not require an explicit admission of guilt from the recipient, nor does accepting one necessarily constitute a formal legal confession of guilt.Key Supreme Court Precedent: Burdick v. United States (1915)The often-cited case is Burdick v. United States (236 U.S. 79), where the Supreme Court stated in dictum (non-binding commentary) that a pardon "carries an imputation of guilt; acceptance a confession of it." This language explains why someone might reject a pardon to avoid implying guilt and preserve their Fifth Amendment rights. However, this was not the holding of the case, and legal experts widely view it as overstated or misunderstood when applied broadly.Modern Interpretations and RulingsModern courts and scholars reject the idea that acceptance always equals a legal admission of guilt:In 2021, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals (Lorance v. Commandant) ruled that a former soldier's acceptance of a Trump pardon did not constitute a confession of guilt. The court called the Burdick language dicta and noted that the pardon was "agnostic as to... guilt," with no court since 1915 treating acceptance as a formal confession.
Constitutional law professors (e.g., Brian Kalt at Michigan State) describe the notion as a "widespread misunderstanding"—while a pardon may imply guilt publicly or practically, it has no formal legal effect of declaring someone guilty.

Is humanizing people "soft language?" If so, is the correction to dehumanize them?

btw, Phrase softeners have their place. Anyone in sales knows that.

 When to Use vs. Avoid
Use: When you want to be polite, show empathy, give gentle feedback, or make a request without sounding demanding.

Avoid: When directness is needed, to avoid appearing uncertain, or when discussing serious issues where softening the language obscures the reality of the situation.

An estimated 1.5–2 million “gotaways” (migrants detected evading capture via surveillance but not apprehended) received no vetting at all—no biometrics, no database checks. These represent a complete bypass of screening.


That increased while the border was closed.

Is humanizing people "soft language?" If so, is the correction to dehumanize them?

btw, Phrase softeners have their place. Anyone in sales knows that.

 When to Use vs. Avoid
Use: When you want to be polite, show empathy, give gentle feedback, or make a request without sounding demanding.

Avoid: When directness is needed, to avoid appearing uncertain, or when discussing serious issues where softening the language obscures the reality of the situation.

Hitler wanted to replace Eastern Europeans with Teutonic people. You really want to compare that with people seeking work and escaping violence?

No, I want to know why using a word that means “a large group of people” isn’t acceptable to use in reference to a large group of people. Or why, when millions pour into the country, calling it an invasion is improper. If you look invasion or horde up, they both hold definitions that are completely proper in this context.

I get that you’re as bleeding heart as bleeding hearts get, but you’re just arguing semantics regarding what word Trump or I used to describe a massive influx of illegal immigrants most Americans didn’t want to let in.

I don’t feel the need to use soft language in this situation, and I don’t feel offended that Trump uses firm language. But then again I don’t believe that all of these people came here to find work and escape violence. Difference in perspective I suppose.

Who are the democrats going after? What swamp are they draining? They’re as much in the pockets of the big corporations as anyone.

Other fraud aside, what’s happening in Minnesota fucking matters, whether you want to deflect from it or not.

The executive leadership of the GOP is largely made up of former Democrats and they actually are going after big corps. But you hate that because they’re challenging the vaccine schedules and big food regarding obesity and rampant government waste and fraud. And somehow in the last 10-15 years Democrats went from hating big pharma and big food to being their biggest allies. It’s truly bizarre.

Find some good candidates, win elections, close tax loopholes and hold your elected officials accountable. What happened when the democrats held most of the power? Same old same old. Just more drone strikes killing women and children and Russia invading Ukraine.

I have no idea how paid leave works in other states but the Democrat passed paid leave program in Minnesota starts tomorrow.
Actually it starts today for 2026 enrollment
Actually it started last January if you had a child or more in 2025.

One of the Mn fraud programs had an initial state estimate of of a relatively small annual funding need. Help the kids, it won't cost much.
Two years later and the funding requirement was 10 times the initial estimate.

The paid leave program begins to provide payments to enrollees on Jan 1 2026 and had a 2024 estimate of 12,000-15,000 enrollees.
7000 have enrolled already.

"Trump renovating the East Wing"

AI

President Trump is undertaking a major renovation involving the demolition of the East Wing to build a large, new ballroom, a project costing hundreds of millions, funded by private donors, which has sparked controversy and legal challenges due to its historic nature and lack of traditional review. The existing East Wing was torn down starting in October 2025, with plans to complete the new structure before Trump leaves office, replacing the First Lady's offices and public entrance with a massive event space.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- The guest list remains a guarded secret 🤫 for Tuesday's state dinner honoring India's prime minister, the first such dinner U.S. President Barack Obama will host.

Instead of the traditional venue of the State Dining Room, the Obamas will dine with a few hundred VIPs in a heated tent 🥶⛺️ on the South Lawn, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Dee Dee Myers, who was former President Bill Clinton's press secretary, said lobbying by people seeking an invite had probably been relentless.

"The first (state dinner) is always the most dramatic," Myers said. "First impressions are important. That's your A list, that's your top game right there. ⛺️🤣

Myers said the Clintons took some guff about their tented affairs from critics who judged them "too Arkansas, too big and not exclusive enough."

She was intentionally blocking traffic, the agents ordered her multiple times to get out of the car. She backs up instead, there’s clearly an agent in front of her car as she turned and hit the gas. The car appears to bump/hit him, he pivots away and fires.

I don’t think shooting her was the right thing to do from what I can tell, but she indeed fucked around and found out. Maybe they’ll burn down downtown again in her honor.

The adults and many children who died in the Oklahoma City bombing were DOA. In this incident, the ICE officers could have trivially de-escalated this situation. 33 dead and 660 injured in Oklahoma City. In Minneapolis today, a woman was trying to stop some people from getting hassled or arrested. ICE could have just waited it out. Poor training. The ICE officers are the ones cosplaying here.

I agree but let's wait for more context and investigation. Too bad Ice Barbie hasn't learned anything from Keystone Kash's fuck ups trying to get ahead of story-lines.  The clown car continues.

Either way, the cop was "out of the way" of the car or else it would have made shooting at the driver tougher. Nonetheless, don't give the cops the excuse to shoot you by driving towards them because you will not be facing a Cook County jury who will give your family millions.

I'm not an expert on this but, doesn't it seem sensible when approaching a problem/erratic driver to do so from the sides not front and back?  Just guessing here that when this all comes out, we'll be questioning the training. There's a lot of newbies wearing masks.

I'm not an expert but you can spot several clear flaws here. If you step in front of that car, you're basically committing yourself to shooting the occupant. If you don't think that's a reasonable outcome to the situation, don't step in front of the car. If you do, might as well just shoot first, THEN step in front of the car.

If the occupant of the car was a "danger" - a "domestic terrorist" - what the holy hell is that other officer doing walking right up to the driver's side door and trying to open the car door. Trained officers do not approach a car like that and say (quote) "Get out of the fucking car". What if the driver had a gun? If you are so unworried that the driver has a gun that you just wander up to the car and grab the door handle - why would you be afraid they are going to try to intentionally run you over? The cop in front pulled a gun, and the driver freaked the fuck out. I've had a gun pointed at me and I sure as hell freaked the fuck out. I didn't calmly negotiate the situation. The cops asked me to describe the person with the gun, I said "Male". That's all I remembered. "What color?" - "I don't know". "How tall" - "I don't know".

The longer form video shows a lot more.

I would think you stand in front of the car if you are making an arrest to prevent the driver from fleeing. Not saying it is the smartest move or what they teach you at "the academy."  Plenty of morons out there, including those who do not care. Even purported 37 year old white lesbians.

The "new angle" here certainly looks like she hit/brushed the cop.

If you absolutely need to prevent the driver from fleeing, at that point you've committed to shooting the driver if needed - "Stop or I'll shoot". That would only apply if the driver was clearly a downstream threat if they flee.

This case is far closer to situations where officer training dictates that they disengage from high speed chases so they don't cause collateral damage beyond the value of apprehending the person fleeing. Let her go. Body cam has the license plate, and image of the driver. If there is a reason to arrest her, she'll be trivially located. This was not "Stop or I'll shoot" worthy.

I'm telling you - a gun is pointed at you - imminent chance of your life being ended - and rational thought is gone.

Hell, when I was a teenager, I was taking a piss behind a 7-11, I see a car driving down the alley, zip up and start to walk away. Car speeds up - I start to run. I hear someone running after me, when I get to the front of the 7-11, hear someone yelling "something", I stop, turn around, it's a cop. He has a walkie talkie in his hand, I thought it was a gun, I said "Holy shit don't shoot me". He says "It's just a radio kid". I don't think my HR went under 190 for the next half hour.

Not one part of that whole interaction made any sense, I was just in lizard mode. Now imagine some dude in body armor is yelling expletives at you, his buddy has a gun pointed at you. At that point, it's not thought, it's random instinct, "I want to get the hell away from here". Might be someone who's never seen a gun before in their life.

That's why we train police officers, because civilians are NOT trained.

As previously noted, it does not appear to be good, appropriate, or even wise, policing strategy. Nevertheless, don't be a dumbass especially when everyone knows these ICE dudes are poorly trained and don't give a shit about shooting someone. If you are engaging in "civil disobedience" you are supposed to be willing to pay the price. Not that the current clowns in the DOJ ever can convict any of the "domestic terrorists" who are protesting ICE.

Eyewitnesses have said that the woman appeared to be obviously trying to block ICE vehicles attempting to leave the area. She was also blocking traffic on a north-south artery.
Don't block traffic. That's a crime.

She had been following ICE all morning. Allegedly she was being filmed by her significant other who was outside of the vehicle and filming. For what ? Tik Tok ?
Now she leaves behind a 6 year old with no parents.
Don't follow ICE around.

She wouldn't obey commands, put the truck in reverse, then in drive and hit the gas.
Don't flee from police. That's a crime when you've already committed a crime.

She was heading straight towards the law enforcement official with a lethal weapon. The official had no idea what the woman was going to do. The official is experienced and followed training. The official doesn't get the advantage of hindsight.
The official is apparently a member of the same Border Patrol group that went into the school in Uvalde when local police were insufficient.

There have been 3 incidents of ICE vehicles being rammed recently in Minneapolis recently. A man was charged yesterday with ramming a vehicle and biting an officer. A suspected illegal immigrant was detained by ICE yesterday.

The Governor and the Mayor have continually supported protestors and are now balancing time between explaining away their fraud industry and the sanctity of the Minneapolis sanctuary city status when they're not acting like emotional 12 year olds. Sanctuary status reduces the places where murder suspects, rapists, sexual predators etc may be detained.
Nobody understands why criminals are being protected from apprehension.


Walz said the National Guard is on call. But, if needed, to protect the citizens from "rogue" ICE agents.

"I understand they don't like the fact that these agents are enforcing existing immigration law, but that's not how we change laws in this country. If you don't like law, you talk to the politicians. You don't drive your car into the middle of a building or a law enforcement situation that's being occupied by the people who are simply there to enforce the law. If I don't like how much the IRS is charging me in taxes, I don't drive my car into the Treasury Department try to run somebody over. I call my congressman."

"Political vigilantism is being encouraged by Democratic officials like the lieutenant governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, who earlier this year told people to 'put your bodies on the line' and Tim Walz calling these guys gestapo all year. What do you think happens when you radicalize a base of people about this?"

That's bullshit

I just watched the video about 20 more times. Her front tires are definitely pointed straight forward when the vehicle appears to make contact with the agent/he fires his first shot. Then the front wheels end up turned to the right after that. I don’t know her intent but I wouldn’t say it’s “bullshit” to say she went straight toward him.

Eyewitnesses have said that the woman appeared to be obviously trying to block ICE vehicles attempting to leave the area. She was also blocking traffic on a north-south artery.
Don't block traffic. That's a crime.

She had been following ICE all morning. Allegedly she was being filmed by her significant other who was outside of the vehicle and filming. For what ? Tik Tok ?
Now she leaves behind a 6 year old with no parents.
Don't follow ICE around.

She wouldn't obey commands, put the truck in reverse, then in drive and hit the gas.
Don't flee from police. That's a crime when you've already committed a crime.

She was heading straight towards the law enforcement official with a lethal weapon. The official had no idea what the woman was going to do. The official is experienced and followed training. The official doesn't get the advantage of hindsight.
The official is apparently a member of the same Border Patrol group that went into the school in Uvalde when local police were insufficient.

There have been 3 incidents of ICE vehicles being rammed recently in Minneapolis recently. A man was charged yesterday with ramming a vehicle and biting an officer. A suspected illegal immigrant was detained by ICE yesterday.

The Governor and the Mayor have continually supported protestors and are now balancing time between explaining away their fraud industry and the sanctity of the Minneapolis sanctuary city status when they're not acting like emotional 12 year olds. Sanctuary status reduces the places where murder suspects, rapists, sexual predators etc may be detained.
Nobody understands why criminals are being protected from apprehension.


Walz said the National Guard is on call. But, if needed, to protect the citizens from "rogue" ICE agents.
To say their rhetoric has been irresponsible would be kind. It's been reckless.

I can agree with your conclusion on Bernie.

If you watched it 20 times, then you should understand that these ICE guys would make the Keystone Kops look like the top policing force of all time.

Before we even get into the shooter - who was shooting at a moving car with bystanders in the vicinity (a clear no-no) - let's look at the dude who was driving the truck. He pulls up, hops out of his RV, and rushes to her car, yelling "Get out of the fucking car" and tries to open the door. There is so much wrong there.

If the person in the car was armed, he just got shot, by approaching the car in a non-defensive position. But he didn't approach the car in a defensive position because he *knew* the occupant was just some middle class white lady he figured he could push around. As such, he can calmly approach the car and request that she exit the vehicle. *IF* he were a cop, which he is not. He is Immigration Customs Enforcement, which doesn't have the authority to do policing actions like that. What do they do if she gets out of the car? They don't have authority to arrest her.

And *if* there was a reason to order her out of the car. Dubious at best. A trained officer would have approached the car, and made a request that the driver move her car.

The shooter didn't get out of the truck - he was already on the street and knew exactly what kind of player the driver of the car was. There was no reason to engage with gun play. Stay away from the car, have one officer approach and calmly engage.

These ICE guys are cosplaying as Navy Seals, and it just keeps going badly.

How could one angle show the car hitting him and another show it not hitting him? Subtle nuances are one thing, but that feels pretty cut and dried. Having to sync up three separate videos also really should draw some attention to the fact that these people have to make split second decisions that are life or death. We see officials get it wrong in sports all the time, but under the scrutiny of slow motion replay, we can start to suss out some details that weren’t apparent in real time. That’s what gets lost in all of this. I hate that this happened and I don’t think they should’ve been trying to detain this woman.

instead of laying out why universal healthcare is so beneficial. Huge opportunity missed. I was scratching my head during and after that debate.

The reason universal health care never happens is because for someone to run for office and win, the primary traits needed are narcissism and charisma, not intelligence and an ability to adroitly explain why a policy is good to someone by meeting them where they are.

Bernie - over and over - "Health care is a human right". That does pretty well with someone struggling to pay their health insurance. But if someone has a job with good insurance, all they hear is "I want to increase your taxes".

If you instead make sure you discuss things like small businesses and entrepreneurs being more able to start and run businesses because they aren't trying to navigate employee heath insurance, or would be more able to hire workers from larger firms - who would otherwise stay put just because of health insurance - in order to grow their small businesses, you win. Show how much profit health insurance companies have made over the last few years, make it clear that the government is not for profit so all those shareholder profits and CEO pay packages would now be used to pay for health care and prescriptions, and we can use that savings to instead have thousands of people being paid to deny claims, just cover the claims. That people who get sick and go into medical bankruptcy end up being a drag on the economy, instead of simply taking care of them so they can get back to producing for the economy.

No. They don't have to make those split second decisions. Trump and Noem have chosen to put them into the spot where they have to make these sorts of decisions by hiring incompetent boobs, not training them, giving them guns, and sending them out to "kick some ass" - which is not the job of law enforcement.

We sort of learned that lesson at Kent State, and Trump is trying to erase that institutional memory. No ICE arrest that was gonna happen that day is worth conflict. If they were going after an active shooter, say for example at a LDS Ward in Salt Lake City (oh yeah, another mass shooting), and someone was getting in the way of it, then we have a problem.

How could one angle show the car hitting him and another show it not hitting him?

The one camera angle from down the street sort of makes it look like she hit him, but when it's synched, you can tell she didn't. Part of the problem is it's sped up and blurred. Even at that, it shows her vehicle turned.

None of us are experts. My take is he could have moved out of the way. He chose to  hold his ground and fired three shots in rapid succession.  The first through the windshield. The other two through the driver's side window. That would indicate she was turning.

I would say by preponderance of the evidence the agent is civilly liable for a wrongful death. Maybe Noem too.

The fact we might be arguing this shows just how out of her depth Kristi Noem is. Incident was still frothing and Noem gets up and says that Renee Good was a domestic terrorist. She's the top of DHS and one of her charges at ICE was just in an officer involved shooting resulting in death.

Our officer followed his training. He did exactly what he's been taught to do in that situation, and took actions to defend himself"

She doesn't feel the deceased deserves condolences, any more than someone who goes up and shoots up a school.

This morning I saw a woman who had completely slid off of an icy entrance ramp to the interstate. She was still there about an hour later.
Tow trucks have probably been a little busy this morning.

You can see the front tires of the uncooperative to that point woman's truck spinning on ice yesterday. the tires appear to be headed towards the officer.

Bernie - over and over - "Health care is a human right". That does pretty well with someone struggling to pay their health insurance. But if someone has a job with good insurance, all they hear is "I want to increase your taxes".

If you instead make sure you discuss things like small businesses and entrepreneurs being more able to start and run businesses because they aren't trying to navigate employee heath insurance, or would be more able to hire workers from larger firms - who would otherwise stay put just because of health insurance - in order to grow their small businesses, you win. Show how much profit health insurance companies have made over the last few years, make it clear that the government is not for profit so all those shareholder profits and CEO pay packages would now be used to pay for health care and prescriptions, and we can use that savings to instead have thousands of people being paid to deny claims, just cover the claims. That people who get sick and go into medical bankruptcy end up being a drag on the economy, instead of simply taking care of them so they can get back to producing for the economy.

Nichi is 10x as good at explaining it than any politician.

I agree. And emphasize how many people are stuck in jobs they are unhappy at because they are afraid of losing their healthcare coverage. Real freedom is not having these fears.

Germany has “free” college and healthcare at the expense of some of the highest effective tax rates in the world. 50-55% in many cases. Even with that level of taxation in a rich country, the cost of their welfare is putting major strain on their finances. Now they’re confronted with having to pay their fair share for NATO and self defense and there isn’t enough to go around. Our healthcare system is far from perfect, but I’m glad I’m in the situation I am now versus being in a Western European power collapsing under its own weight.

The problem with this emphasis is that it the corollary is that some people are stuck in marriages that are unhappy to keep the health insurance from their spouse, and that opens up a huge can of worms with MAGA. Except Custard, he's too much of a puss to make his woman an honest woman.

If anyone has an SUV try calling a friend, or enemy, and ask him/her if he/she would stand in front of your left front tire.
Tell the person that once you hit the gas that they should bend over to see which way the tires are headed.

If the person lives thru it, you can do it again with a different scenario.
Ask the person to stand in front of the driver's side tire.
But this time, instead of bending over to look at the direction of the tires, when you hit the gas ask the person to assess whether you were going to run them over or if you had full intention of turning the steering wheel.
Give them about 1/4 second to answer.

The second and third shots from the agent were to make sure she was dead, so that she can't testify that she was trying to get away, not run over the agent. Looking at her background - "I kill cops" isn't in her resume, but on the stand, no jury gonna go "yup, this confused lesbian was going 'I wanna kill. I wanna KILL. I WANNA KILL'"

Look at the way the wheels were spinning all you want. Anyone who characterizes her as intending to kill the agent is a moron. The only way that you could come to the conclusion she was trying to hit the agent was that he had a gun and SHE was doing it in self defense. But that's not what happened. She was just some random lady scared out of her wits.

1. wtf was he doing in front of the vehicle in the first place?
2. He had time to get out of the way even if the vehicle wasn't obviously turning
3. You don't need to look at the wheels to see a vehicle is turning
4. The vehicle was turning and the agent was clear when he fired the first shot.
5. By the time the 2nd shot was fired, the vehicle appears to have completed the turn.
6. Snap decisions have to be  made. That is why you don't position yourself in front of a running vehicle.

Correct.
She didn't roll down the window to say 'Mr. Officer, I'm not going to run you over, I'm just trying to flee.'
What the woman was, or wasn't thinking, is irrelevant.

And DHS policy may be to not shoot at a fleeing vehicle.
A lethal threat headed towards an officer is the issue. The woman is not on trial where her intent will be questioned.

If an officer of the law shoots a "suspect" the intention or motive of the suspect is very relevant.

An officer can't go around shooting people in SUVs because he imagines they pose a lethal threat to him. His belief and actions have to be reasonable.

He placed himself in front of a running vehicle driven by a woman who was very likely frightened of him and the other ICE agents. If that was his training, his training sucks.

We don't know why the woman opened her window or what she may have said. It would be interesting. Maybe she said she was leaving and asked them to leave her alone.

I haven't seen any video showing the officer who shot approaching the vehicle from the driver side.
If he had something to do with the white SUV then he approached from the passenger side. During most of that time the woman wasn't moving or cooperating.
She then backed up, put the vehicle in drive and hit the gas.
He pulled his gun when she hit the gas. She spun the wheels on the ice. The officer was fortunate.

In the image, the wheels are headed pretty much straight toward him and he is pulling his gun. The other officer has his arm inside the driver side window.
Up to this point the woman had been following ICE, blocking traffic, obstructing ICE and non-cooperative.

The officer doesn't get to use hindsight, frame by frame analysis or read what the Twitter, Bluesky or the next day WaPo have to say.

I haven't seen any video showing the officer who shot approaching the vehicle from the driver side.

At the beginning of the video, the officer is behind and to the right of the victim's car. When Dirty Harry decided to run at the car and try to open the driver's side door (that's not the protocol of any law enforcement), the shooter went along the right side of the vehicle and then crossed across the front of it.

The guy is a moron. If you had any question, there is video from a couple months back of the same moron approaching the car of someone they intended to arrest, using a metal point break tool to break the rear driver's side window, reaching into the car through that window, at which point the actual bad guy hit the gas and dragged that guy 30 yards, actually putting him into the hospital.

They aren't wearing body cams. Pretty sad given that they are armed officers.

If agents are gonna run around with cellphones, seems pretty obvious to go with body cams instead. Very much against what I would expect for a cop-ish to be rolling around with a phone in their hand, especially a personal one.

I haven't seen any video showing the officer who shot approaching the vehicle from the driver side.
During most of that time the woman wasn't moving or cooperating.

In the image, the wheels are headed pretty much straight toward him and he is pulling his gun.
Up to this point the woman had been following ICE, blocking traffic, obstructing ICE and non-cooperative.

The officer doesn't get to use hindsight, frame by frame analysis or read what the Twitter, Bluesky or the next day WaPo have to say. 

Let's unpack this Mn, since you posted the video from the officer.

"Non-cooperative". The driver says directly to the officer "That's fine dude, I'm not mad at you". "That's ok, we don't change our plates every day, they'll be the same when you come talk to us later". That certainly has to put the fear into the officer that they are trying to kill him, that they are expecting him and willing to talk to him in the future.

"the wheels are headed pretty much straight toward him" - the video clearly shows her turning the steering wheel to the right, prior to the car moving forwards.

Also in the video is seen several bystanders behind the car, on the sidewalk.

This guy sucks at his job. Full stop.

This agent was an ass clown. Period.

You know that buddy you had, who got into bar fights and says "Gee I don't know, trouble always seems to find me". Pro-tip - he is the trouble, that's why you don't hang out with him anymore.

99.9999999% of law enforcement officers replace the two antagonists in this incident, the woman is still alive. Sometimes, there are people who are just not good at their job. For example, Joe Biden. I'll throw Joe Biden under the bus repeatedly. But the loser Trumpers can see video of the dumbest ICE agent in history, won't throw him under the bus because he's "on their side".

There would be one way to get Mn to start defending Tempo. Put Tempo in at Point Guard for the Illini.

We may find out if the judge uses the local fishwraps, the failing NYT, and/or watched the edited CBS video of the woman driving away but leaving her wife behind, who was trying to enter the vehicle.
They weren't 'observing', they were obstructing. The lawyer did get the 'obs' part but missed a bit on the other letters.

From the suit asking for a temporary restraining order .......

" Two days after that, an ICE agent shot and killed observer Renee Good while she was driving away from agents who were attempting to force their way into her vehicle. "

"Given the urgency of the situation, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court notonly grant Plaintiffs permission to move for reconsideration, but also convert this letter into the motion. See Pub. Rec. Media, LLC v. U.S. Dep’t of Just., Case No. 12-1225, 2013 WL 2480678,at *1 (D. Minn. June 7, 2013). Moreover, because the parties have already fully briefed Plaintiffs’ entitlement to emergency relief, Plaintiffs respectfully request that a temporaryrestraining order be entered immediately. (See ECF 1, 1-1 to 1-15, 18, 38, 46, 50.) As theCourt noted previously, TROs may be entered on an ex parte basis, and the government herehas had ample time and process to respond.

stay away from that person. That person is not a friend.

The vehicle was moving, what, 1 mph?

Also, all the videos show she had already turned her steering wheel, perhaps to avoid hitting the agents before the vehicle moved forward.

The vehicle did not accelerate until it was fully turned and after she had been shot. She was likely dead at that point.

AI overview

Rebecca Good yelled "Drive, baby, drive!" to her wife, Renee Nicole Good, in an attempt to get her to flee the scene during a tense confrontation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis.

The sequence of events leading to the command was:

Rebecca and Renee Good were at a location where ICE was conducting an enforcement operation, reportedly to support their neighbors.

An ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, approached their vehicle while filming with his phone. Rebecca was outside the car, arguing with the agent, while Renee was in the driver's seat.

The situation escalated when another ICE agent ordered Renee to get out of the SUV.

At this point, as Renee began to reverse and then move the car forward, away from the agents, Rebecca shouted at her to "drive".

The agent then fired three shots into the car, fatally striking Renee.

The command to "drive" was an instruction to escape the confrontation with federal agents. The incident is the subject of intense debate, with the agent claiming self-defense and local officials and witnesses disputing that claim, stating Renee was trying to drive away and not strike the officer. Rebecca Good later expressed remorse, with a bystander video showing her saying "it's my fault" following the shooting.

An ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, approached their vehicle while filming with his phone. Rebecca was outside the car, arguing with the agent, while Renee was in the driver's seat.

The situation escalated when another ICE agent ordered Renee to get out of the SUV.

At this point, as Renee began to reverse and then move the car forward, away from the agents, Rebecca shouted at her to "drive".

The agent then fired three shots into the car, fatally striking Renee.

The command to "drive" was an instruction to escape the confrontation with federal agents. The incident is the subject of intense debate, with the agent claiming self-defense and local officials and witnesses disputing that claim, stating Renee was trying to drive away and not strike the officer. Rebecca Good later expressed remorse, with a bystander video showing her saying "it's my fault" following the shooting.

As of January 2026, there are no verified official records, police reports, or court documents to support the claim that Renée Nicole Good’s partner, Rebecca (Becca) Good, abused children.

The allegations surfaced on social media platforms following the death of Renée Good in a Minneapolis shooting involving ICE agents on January 7, 2026. Fact-checkers and news outlets have identified these claims as unsubstantiated rumors.

Key Facts Regarding the Allegations:

*Source of the Rumor: The claims primarily originated from viral posts on X (formerly Twitter), specifically from an account that provided no proof or official references.

*Child Abuse Claims: Social media posts alleged that Rebecca was arrested for using cigarettes to burn children, but extensive searches of news and public records have found no evidence of such an arrest or charge.

*Custody Status: While social media posts claimed Renée lost custody of her two older children due to abuse, public records indicate these children lived with their biological father in another state under a pre-existing custody arrangement that preceded her relationship with Rebecca.

*Living Situation: At the time of her death, Renée had primary custody of her youngest son (age 6) and lived with him and Rebecca in Minneapolis. Neighbors described them as a "beautiful family" who were frequently seen playing outside together.

Renee Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in January 2026 in Minneapolis. Disputed reports exist regarding whether she and her wife, Becca Good, were "stalking and impeding" ICE activities or acting as legal observers at the time, but neither were charged with crimes in connection with the incident.

Overview of the Incident

*Renee Good was a 37-year-old mother and U.S. citizen. She was part of a local group known as "ICE Watch" which trains participants to document and sometimes disrupt ICE activity.

*On the morning of the shooting, Renee and Becca Good encountered ICE agents conducting an operation. They stopped their vehicle in the street, and Becca exited to record the agents with her phone.

*The situation escalated when federal agents ordered Renee to exit the car. Video footage and witness accounts of what happened next are disputed, with some suggesting she was trying to drive away and others claiming she "weaponized her vehicle" to try to run over an agent. An agent, identified in court documents as Jonathan Ross, then fired shots into the vehicle, killing Renee.

Allegations of Criminal Activity

*Renee Good: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleged that Renee's actions were an "act of domestic terrorism" and that she tried to kill federal officers. However, local officials, including the Minneapolis Mayor and Minnesota Attorney General, rejected this characterization and described her as a "compassionate neighbor" acting as a legal observer. No criminal charges were filed against Renee because she was killed in the incident.

*Becca Good: Becca was at the scene and a witness to the shooting, later expressing guilt for asking her wife to come down to the scene. Authorities have not indicated that she faces any charges related to the incident.

The incident and the differing narratives from federal and local authorities have sparked a federal and local investigation.

Felony murder is a legal doctrine (varying by jurisdiction) where someone can be charged with murder if a death occurs during the commission of certain felonies, even without direct intent to kill. In Minnesota (where the incident occurred), the statute includes scenarios like fleeing law enforcement or assaulting officers as qualifying felonies, and it can apply to accomplices/aiders. Federally, similar rules exist under statutes like 18 U.S.C. § 1111 for killings during federal crimes.

He wasn't in the passenger seat having a friendly conversation about what she was thinking or if she was going to try to hit him or not.
He wasn't in the passenger seat to remind her that in fleeing she needed to drive carefully, respect the speed limit, come to a full stop for a pedestrian in a cross walk, to remind her not to hit any protestors, vehicles in or along the road, or law enforcement officials or their vehicles in her escape.

He was in front of the vehicle, someone yelled 'drive, baby, drive' and she floored it.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/colorado-grand-jury-indicts-suspected-leaders-of-tren-de-aragua-gang/ar-AA1T8Ey6

A Colorado judge later ordered the apartment complex to temporarily close due to an "immediate threat to public safety," with city officials assisting about 85 families in finding a new place to live where they would not be revictimized.
Last year, the Aurora Police Department released a doorbell video showing a group of nine suspected Tren de Aragua members terrorizing an apartment tenant from Venezuela, in an incident officials referred to as "very reminiscent" of the 2024 takeover at a nearby building in the city.
Video shows the group pointing guns and repeatedly knocking on an apartment door in a building near 6th Avenue and Potomac Street in Aurora, Chamberlain said during a news conference.

From August.
DENVER — What was described as “the biggest investigation” of the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua in the country unfolded in Colorado over the past 10 months, federal officials announced on Monday, netting 30 indictments of people allegedly involved in drug and weapons trafficking and a “barbaric” murder-for-hire plot.

A person's way of thinking is similar. If you've gone left, correct your path to go right and you can then go straight.
The farther left you've gone would require a greater correction to go straight.
Don't go too far left.

Utah DPS caught dissing some neighbors of Utah citizens in viral video.

“In the last couple of years, we’ve really started to see a footprint in Utah, specifically, of the TDA, Tren de Aragua gang,” said Utah Department of Public Safety Chief of Investigations Tanner Jensen. “Probably around February of 2024, we started receiving some reporting of some of that gang activity here in Utah, and we’ve been trying to track that ever since.”

There are SCOTUS decisions regarding the use of deadly force.
Minnesota has statutes regarding the use of deadly force.

Those probably override what a sheriff has to say in a 2 1/2 minute video.

You do know he's running for Governor, correct ?
Correct ?

Sure he was.
He joined up 10 years ago just waiting for the right opportunity. When he was dragged 100 yards, or whatever, last summer he probably thought about shooting the whole time but decided to wait for a better opportunity.

He got his own self dragged. How has this ICE agent not darwin'd himself already, I have no idea.

Supposedly from a lawyer. Interesting:

There seems to be a lot of Keyboard attorneys.online today. So, as an actual attorney, I'd like to cite actual law. The ICE officer in MN violated both protocol and case law.

1) officers are not allowed to fire into a moving vehicle
2) lethal force is not allowed to prevent someone from fleeing
3) case law is clear, an officer cannot intentionally place himself in front of a vehicle and then allege self defense

At best, this officer acted with a reckless disregard for public safety and is guilty of negligent homicide.

Federal agents do not have blanket immunity from state laws or criminal prosecution. They can be prosecuted by state authorities for violating state laws if their actions were unauthorized, unlawful, or unreasonable, even if they were on duty.

The concept governing this is called Supremacy Clause immunity. Federal agents are generally immune from state prosecution only if their actions were:bAuthorized under federal law; and
"Necessary and proper" to fulfill their federal duties.

If a federal agent is charged in state court, they can petition to have their case "removed" to federal court. In federal court, the judge would then determine whether the agent's actions met the "necessary and proper" standard.

If the court finds the agent was acting within the reasonable confines of their duties, the state charges will be dismissed.

If not, the state prosecution can proceed in federal court, applying state substantive law. It is unlikely any judge would find his behavior necessary and reasonable. The mere fact that no other officer present unholstered their weapon and appear shocked he fired towards them reinforces that fact.

Estate of Starks v. Enyart, 5 F.3d 230 (7th Cir. 1993) Seventh Circuit – foundational case facts: Officer stepped in front of a slowly moving vehicle and then shot the driver, claiming fear for his life. Holding (paraphrased) “An officer may not unreasonably create a physically threatening situation and then use deadly force to escape it.”

Adams v. Speers, 473 F.3d 989 (9th Cir. 2007) Ninth Circuit Facts: Officer jumped in front of a vehicle during a stop and then fired. Holding: An officer cannot provoke a confrontation and then rely on the danger they created to justify deadly force. Key language: The court emphasized that reasonableness includes the officer’s own tactical decisions leading up to the shooting.

Thompson v. Hubbard, 257 F.3d 896 (8th Cir. 2001) Eighth Circuit Key point: The court rejected summary judgment for officers where evidence showed the officer moved into the vehicle’s path, creating the perceived threat.

Abraham v. Raso, 183 F.3d 279 (3d Cir. 1999)
Third Circuit Facts: Off-duty officer shot a fleeing driver. Holding: The court stressed that pre-seizure conduct matters and that officers cannot rely solely on the “split second” framing if their own actions escalated the situation.
 
Kirby v. Duva, 530 F.3d 475 (6th Cir. 2008)
Holding: Deadly force may be unconstitutional where:
-The officer fired into a moving vehicle
-The officer could have stepped aside
-The threat was self-created
The Sixth Circuit explicitly rejected the idea that a moving car automatically justifies gunfire.

Adams v. Speers, 473 F.3d 989 (9th Cir. 2007) Holding: An officer may not intentionally place himself in danger and then use deadly force to neutralize the danger he created — including firing into a vehicle. The Ninth Circuit emphasized tactical disengagement as the constitutional expectation.

Training & Policy Alignment (Courts Care About This) Many courts note that modern police training instructs:
-Do not fire into moving vehicles
-Do not use deadly force to stop a fleeing car
-Disengage and contain instead
Courts treat violations of training as evidence of unreasonableness, even if not dispositive.

There are 2 kinds of people in the US. People who want to know what the law is, and people who think they know what the law is, and usually their mindset for thinking they know what the law is, comes from their experience in the school playground or badly formed movies from the 50's and 60's.

FOX and Trump have realized how easy it is to manipulate the latter group. They really do a disservice to the country by not pointing out this very clear stuff you posted here Nichi. The country was founded on a healthy distrust of authority, that created checks on said authority. That's been thrown out the window.

If you ask me, JB Pritzker should get the state assembly to pass a law with draconian penalties for drunk driving - one year driver's license suspension with no dispensation for work, jail time if there is any property damage or injury, and on 2nd offense or if someone with a suspension is found driving.

Then fire up a huge Illinois State Patrol presence to very strictly enforce drunk driving. Make random checks on people known to have suspended licenses, check their work places, the bars they are known to frequent.

That would learn a lot of MAGAs real fast about government overreach, er I mean it would save a lot of lives!

Kirby v Duva is addressed in a different case that went to SCOTUS and SCOTUS writes ....

"In Estate of Kirby v. Duva, 530 F.3d 475, 482 (6th Cir. 2008),
cited to by respondents, the Sixth Circuit held summary judgment
was improper as triable issues of fact existed regarding whether
the officers reasonably believed they were in danger
prior to
shooting the decedent, which is not an issue here, as the trier of
fact specifically found the officers reasonably feared for their
safety. (App.108a.)"

In Kirby v Duva at the lower level, ballistics and physical evidence appeared to infer that the officers were not in danger.
This is what SCOTUS brought up.

Yes, Jonathan Ross suffered internal bleeding.This refers to Jonathan Ross, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent involved in the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good during an incident in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026.According to reports from CBS News (cited by multiple outlets including Newsweek and Daily Mail), two U.S. officials briefed on his condition stated that Ross experienced internal bleeding to the torso following the encounter. The extent of the bleeding remains unclear, but he was hospitalized briefly and released the same day, as confirmed by Department of Homeland Security officials and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

During an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026, Agent Jonathan Ross was reportedly struck by a vehicle driven by Renee Nicole Good, whom he then fatally shot. Ross was taken to the hospital and treated for internal bleeding to the torso and was released the same day.

The nature and severity of his injuries have been disputed by local officials. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey claimed the agent's injuries were minor, while the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed the internal bleeding. The FBI is investigating the shooting.

**********

AI Mode

Internal bleeding of the torso refers to a medical emergency where blood escapes from blood vessels and collects inside body cavities like the chest, abdomen, or pelvis. It is often invisible from the outside and can lead to life-threatening conditions such as hemorrhagic shock or organ failure.

Can a patient be treated and released the same day?

While most cases of internal bleeding in the torso require hospitalization for monitoring or surgery, same-day discharge is possible under specific, limited circumstances:
Minor, Low-Risk Cases: Some young, healthy patients with "self-limited" and asymptomatic gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding may be safely discharged for outpatient evaluation.

Standardized Risk Scores: Doctors use specific scoring systems (like the Glasgow-Blatchford Score for GI bleeds) to identify low-risk patients who do not require immediate intervention and can be released early.

Observation & Stability: If the bleeding is minor and stops on its own, and the patient remains hemodynamically stable (normal blood pressure and heart rate), they might be released after a period of observation in the emergency department.

However, most torso bleeding cases are considered medical emergencies and typically involve:

Hospital Admission: To monitor for delayed hemorrhage or sudden drops in blood pressure.

Emergency Surgery: Procedures like an exploratory laparotomy (abdomen) or thoracotomy (chest) are often required to stop active bleeding.

Extended Stay: High-grade organ injuries (e.g., to the spleen or liver) generally require an extended hospital stay to ensure no serious complications occur.

Common Symptoms of Torso Bleeding
Abdomen: Severe pain, swelling, rigidity, or bruising around the navel or flanks.

Chest: Difficulty breathing, chest pain, or coughing up blood.

Digestive Tract: Vomiting blood (looks like coffee grounds) or passing black, tarry stools.

Shock Signs: Rapid heart rate, shallow breathing, dizziness, clammy skin, or loss of consciousness.

I would have to review videos to be certain. That said, I am fairly sure he had passed by the driver's side window and had an exchange with Renee Good. He then walked the rest of the way around the vehicle to the other side. He had a brief contact with Becca Good. After this still he would walk to the front of the passenger side, then to the front of the driver's side.

He wasn't visible in front of the vehicle at that moment in this still because he was on the the passenger side of the vehicle.

When Renee Good backed up, she turned her wheels to her left. So since her wheels are to her left, we can tell she was either backing up or had backed up. Most likely, in this still, she had backed up.

Whatever. The agent isn't visible in front of the vehicle because he was somewhere else.

She shifts to drive and her left front tire, aimed at the agent, spins on the ice. He pulled his gun with the vehicle aimed at him.

That doesn't fit with any of the video evidence. When she began to move forward, she was turning her steering wheel to the right. Her wheels would have briefly pointed straight ahead, then to the right..

You are making shit up to defend this woman and her shitty cause. As Mn has pointed out numerous times the tires were pointed straight forward right around the moment the car lurched forward and the first shot was fired. It’s plainly obvious.

Yeah they were left and ended up right but at that moment they were straight. You have to be blind or willfully ignorant not to be able to see it. It’s truly unbelievable you’re still making this argument.

But at the end of the day it really doesn’t even matter exactly what direction the tires were pointing when the car lurched forward because the officer doesn’t have an obligation to get down and look at the direction of the fucking tires before he makes a split second decision.

I don’t think he should have been shot, but you’re not fooling anyone with your “analysis.” You’re a true believer seeing what you want to see.

Somehow Mn gets his panties in a wad "oh they were defending this MS-13 dude!" The police have arrested millions of people over the years with a bystander kill rate that is very, very small. The current dopers at ICE have a horrible track record, which is a function of how that agency has been put together.

If tires are turned from the left to the right they will be momentarily straight.

I do understand how the steering mechanics work. I understand that the wheels eventually went from basically left lock to right lock. I see with my own two lying eyes that the wheels happened to be pointed directly at the agent when she accelerated forward.

As Mn correctly noted, had the tires not slipped on the ice while they were pointed directly at the agent, she would have had a much more forceful contact with the agent.

Ironically, dry pavement might have caused her to hit him hard enough that he wouldn’t have been able to get clean shots off. In that case he’d have had to shoot from behind after he recovered from the initial blow. And maybe he would have, but even in that split second he’d have probably realized that wouldn’t fly and wouldn’t have fired.

It’s not getting talked about enough that he was drug and hospitalized by a vehicle over the summer and that almost certainly impacted his decision to act the way he did. So maybe if people weren’t fucking around with cars around agents, keeping them from doing their jobs while taunting them and mocking them, this probably wouldn’t have happened.

I understand you don’t like how ICE is operating but at the same time I’d hope you understand that when entire communities are hell bent on protecting illegal immigrants and criminals at all costs, swarming and blocking and “observing” and taunting and defying lawful orders and spending the better part of 3 mins blaring their horns and dancing to their own horn blasts while impeding the work of federal law enforcement, parking outside hotels where agents are trying to sleep and blaring their horns all night, encouraging violence and using overwhelmingly inflammatory rhetoric, etc, it makes any kind of tactical/surgical/quiet operation literally impossible.

I understand you don’t like how ICE is operating but at the same time I’d hope you understand that when entire communities are hell bent on protecting illegal immigrants and criminals at all costs, swarming and blocking and “observing” and taunting and defying lawful orders and spending the better part of 3 mins blaring their horns and dancing to their own horn blasts while impeding the work of federal law enforcement, parking outside hotels where agents are trying to sleep and blaring their horns all night, encouraging violence and using overwhelmingly inflammatory rhetoric, etc, it makes any kind of tactical/surgical/quiet operation literally impossible.

Obama deported Millions and nobody really noticed. Obama had tactfulness.

AI Overview

The deportations under the Obama administration were not a major public spectacle primarily because of the administration's policy framing, enforcement methods, and media narrative, which focused on targeting specific individuals rather than broad, public roundups.

Key factors that contributed to this difference in perception and media coverage include:
 
-Targeted Priorities: The Obama administration shifted its focus to deporting individuals who posed threats to national security, had serious criminal convictions, or were recent border crossers. This was framed as a targeted, data-driven approach to public safety, which generated less widespread public outrage than the more general approach of other administrations.

-Lack of Public Spectacle: Enforcement actions often lacked the highly publicized, dramatic raids that characterized later immigration enforcement. Obama-era enforcement focused more on behind-the-scenes processes like workplace audits and data sharing with local law enforcement, which were less visible to the public and the media.

-Perception of Intent: While immigrant-rights groups criticized Obama's policies as being too harsh (earning him the nickname "deporter in chief"), the administration's actions were generally perceived as less driven by overt cruelty or racial animus compared to later administrations. The administration's rhetoric often included calls for comprehensive immigration reform and pathways to citizenship, which offered a more balanced public message.

-Statistical Nuances: The high deportation numbers under Obama included many individuals apprehended and processed for "expedited removal" right at the border, often without a formal court process. These "returns" at the border are less visible and newsworthy than interior removals that involve families already established in U.S. communities.
 
-Media Coverage: News coverage during the Obama years was different, with some analysts suggesting the media covered the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with a less critical tone compared to later years.
 
In essence, the Obama administration's approach was perceived as a more systematic, bureaucratic, and less confrontational method of enforcement, which resulted in less media attention and public controversy compared to approaches that utilized more visible and controversial tactics.

Obama's "deportations" included a fair amount of deportations that occurred at the border. Those deportations were 'turn around and go back over the border.'

Somebody in the Biden administration decided to parole the border crossers into the country.
Sanctuary cities protect the illegal border crossers and the violent criminals. It's a conscious effort to protect these individuals under the guise of 'they're our neighbors.'

Immigration agents are then required to go into the communities to find these people. Sanctuary cities oppose these efforts, demand that local police not cooperate with immigration enforcement and the result can be chaos. Searching communities for the targeted individuals then results in non-targeted illegal aliens being detained and activists being arrested.

Minneapolis has streets blocked off, businesses closed down and schools closed down. Schools that remain open have allowed students to leave the schools to support and join the protests.
Math and reading scores have plummeted in recent years and the fucking Governor, who ran on education, has shown no ability to enforce law and order.
The same happened a few short years ago.

The Saint Paul Federation of Educators has called for a day of protest against ICE. They could have called for a mass campaign, involving the students, directed at lawmakers. Government is tasked with creating laws and enforcing laws.
Instead of educating the students with civics lessons they're promoting activism.

The father of Katie Abraham wants to know why her name is never mentioned while the name of a woman blocking traffic and blocking law enforcement activities is shouted across the country.

When and where were Renee and Becca Good married

Renee Nicole Good (also referred to as Renee Nicole Macklin Good) and Becca (or Rebecca) Good were in a committed partnership and often described as spouses or wife/widow in media coverage and Becca's own statements following Renee's death on January 7, 2026. However, there is no evidence of a legal marriage between them—no marriage certificate, license, or wedding date has been found in public records from relevant states (such as Missouri, where they previously lived in Kansas City, or Minnesota, where they resided at the time).Key details from reporting and records:Renee legally changed her last name to "Good" in 2023 in Missouri (Jackson County) specifically to share the same surname as her "partner," Rebecca Good. This is documented in court petitions and cited in multiple sources as the reason for the name change, rather than a marriage.
Missouri does not recognize common-law marriage, and no marriage records exist in searches of vital records or relevant jurisdictions.
Becca referred to Renee as her "wife" in public statements (e.g., to Minnesota Public Radio and others), and many news outlets initially described them as married. However, this appears to be an informal or emotional description of their relationship rather than a legal one.
,,,,,,,,,the family's own attorney has described them as "not legally married but... committed partners dedicated to their family."

AI Overview

There is no reliable national data that specifically tracks the total number of U.S. citizens killed annually by undocumented immigrants. The data that is available, primarily from state-level studies (mostly Texas), consistently shows that undocumented immigrants have lower homicide arrest and conviction rates than native-born U.S. citizens.

Key Findings from Research

*Data Scarcity: U.S. government agencies, including the FBI, do not track crime data by a person's immigration status on a national level, making a precise national estimate impossible to determine.

*Lower Crime Rates: Multiple academic studies and analyses by think tanks, such as the Cato Institute and the American Immigration Council, conclude that immigrants, including those who are undocumented, commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans.

*Texas-Specific Data: The most detailed data comes from Texas, the only state that systematically tracks the immigration status of individuals in its justice system. A 2024 Cato Institute analysis of Texas data from 2013 to 2022 found:

-The homicide conviction rate for undocumented immigrants was 2.2 per 100,000 people.

-The homicide conviction rate for native-born Americans was 3.0 per 100,000 people.
Undocumented immigrants were 26% less likely to be convicted of homicide than native-born Americans.

Unsubstantiated Claims: Claims found on social media that suggest thousands of Americans are killed annually by undocumented immigrants are not supported by any evidence and have been widely debunked by fact-checkers and experts.

While anecdotes of violent crime often dominate political discourse, there is significant anecdotal and data-driven evidence of positive contributions by undocumented immigrants. These contributions generally fall into economic, professional, and community service categories.

Economic and Workforce Contributions
Undocumented immigrants are often cited as the backbone of several critical U.S. industries, filling roles that have chronic labor shortages.

*Essential Labor: An estimated 74% of undocumented workers hold "essential" roles as defined by the federal government, including 50% of all hired field and crop workers and 1-in-7 construction workers.

*Tax Contributions: Despite being ineligible for most benefits, undocumented households paid approximately $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. Many pay into Social Security and Medicare—estimated at $25.7 billion and $6.4 billion respectively in 2022—without the ability to ever collect those funds.

*Entrepreneurship: There are over 1.1 million undocumented entrepreneurs in the U.S. who start small businesses, such as grocery stores and dry cleaners, that employ both immigrants and U.S. citizens.

Professional Achievement and Innovation

Individual stories highlight undocumented immigrants who have reached the highest levels of American professional life:

"Dr. Alfredo Quińones-Hinojosa: Entered the U.S. as an undocumented farm laborer and eventually became the Chair of Neurologic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic and a world-renowned brain cancer researcher.

*Jose Antonio Vargas: A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who revealed his undocumented status in a 2011 New York Times essay to advocate for immigrant rights.

*Dan-el Padilla Peralta: Formerly an undocumented boy in the NYC shelter system, he became a salutatorian at Princeton and is now a leading scholar in classics.

Community Impact

Many undocumented immigrants serve their local communities in ways that are often overlooked due to their "shadow" status:

*Mentorship: Anecdotes include individuals like "Hugo," an undocumented server who spent his spare time mentoring at-risk youth, and others who serve as peer mentors for students at universities like UC Irvine.

*Non-Profit Work: Some undocumented individuals work for organizations such as The Mission Continues, helping U.S. veterans reintegrate into society.

Context on Crime Rates

While anecdotal crimes are frequently cited, multiple studies from 2025 and 2026—including data from the Cato Institute—indicate that undocumented immigrants generally have lower incarceration and homicide conviction rates than native-born U.S. citizens. Researchers suggest this is partly because undocumented individuals actively avoid drawing police attention to prevent deportation.

AI Overview

Hundreds of children are killed by accidental shootings in the U.S. annually, with sources citing around 100-110 deaths per year for ages 0-14/17, though exact figures vary by reporting period and agency, with recent data showing a rise, and highlighting that most incidents involve a child finding a gun (often in their own home) and either unintentionally firing it or showing it to others.

Key Figures & Data Points

*CDC Data (2003-2021): Identified 1,262 unintentional firearm deaths for ages 0-17, averaging about 66 per year during that timeframe, with peaks in ages 11-15 and 0-5.

*Annual Averages: Around 106 children (0-17) die from unintentional shootings yearly, according to CDC/HCUP data, though others note over 100 annual deaths for ages 0-14.

*Recent Trends: 2023 saw over 400 unintentional shooting incidents involving children (shooter or victim), a record high since tracking began in 2015, indicating an increase.

Common Scenarios

*Location: Most incidents (85%) occur in a home or apartment, often the victim's own.

*Shooter Profile: In about half of cases, another person (often a brother or friend) fires the gun; in many, it's self-inflicted or by another child.

*Context: Shooters are often playing with or showing the firearm when it discharges.

Data Variation

*Figures can differ (e.g., ~100 vs. ~330 per year) depending on the age range (0-14 vs. 0-17), data source (CDC, GVA, etc.), and specific time frame, with recent years showing upward trends.

We have been over this again and again.  If you want to say some of the screaming was less intense than usual due to volume, I will agree.

AI Overview

The claim that the Biden administration allowed "unvetted" immigrants into the country is misleading, as all individuals processed by immigration authorities undergo a vetting process, which includes security and background checks.

However, the administration has used humanitarian parole programs to admit hundreds of thousands of migrants without standard visas, a practice that critics argue has created a different pathway for entry with less rigorous screening than traditional immigration channels.

Key Points on Vetting and Entry

*All entrants are vetted: Immigrants, asylum seekers, and parolees are processed by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) and undergo various levels of screening and background checks, including biometric collection (fingerprints and photos) and inter-agency criminal and security checks with agencies like the FBI.

*Humanitarian Parole Programs: The Biden administration significantly expanded the use of humanitarian parole for nationals of specific countries (like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela), allowing them to enter the U.S. legally if they applied online with a financial sponsor and arrived at a specified airport.

-These individuals were vetted for criminal history, potential fraud, and national security threats before entry.

-Critics of these programs argue that this process is less stringent than traditional visa processing, and the volume of people admitted strained the system.

*Asylum Seekers: Asylum seekers who are apprehended at the border are also processed by DHS, often released into the country with a Notice to Appear (NTA) in court, and given the opportunity to apply for asylum, which involves further vetting and interviews.

*"Gotaways": A separate issue is the large number of "known gotaways"—migrants who evade apprehension by Border Patrol. These individuals are by definition not processed by U.S. authorities and therefore do not undergo any vetting. This phenomenon is a point of significant national security concern for some critics.

In summary, the administration did not entirely eliminated vetting procedures for those encountered by authorities, but policy changes and high volumes of arrivals have led to debates about the thoroughness and effectiveness of the screening processes.

so the Democrats can get the census numbers they need

AI Overview

Including all residents, regardless of legal status, in the U.S. Census for the purposes of congressional apportionment has complex and debated political effects. While some studies suggest a potential, but minimal, net benefit for Democrats, recent analysis indicates that the partisan impact for the next census (2030) is uncertain and could favor Republican-leaning states.

Key Points

*Apportionment Basis: The U.S. Constitution and federal law require the census to count the "whole number of persons" residing in each state for apportioning House seats and, by extension, Electoral College votes. This has historically included both citizens and non-citizens (legal and illegal immigrants).

Minimal Historic Partisan Impact: Studies analyzing past censuses, including 2020, have found that the inclusion of undocumented immigrants has had a minimal net impact on the overall balance of power in the House of Representatives.

-For the 2020 census, most researchers estimated an effect of only two to five seats switching between states due to counting undocumented immigrants.

-States that tend to have high immigrant populations, such as California and Texas, gain seats, but these states have varied political leanings, which largely offsets a clear national partisan advantage.

*Future Projections (Next Census): The situation for the 2030 census is currently difficult to forecast, and projections vary.

-Some recent data for 2019-2023 indicates that a large majority (95%) of noncitizen population growth occurred in Republican-leaning "red" states. If this trend continues, Republicans could stand to benefit from the current counting method in the next apportionment.

-Other projections for 2030, assuming current overall growth trends continue, estimate a potential net gain for Democratic-leaning states of a few seats, though the primary impact comes from legal immigration, which is a much larger population than illegal immigration.

-Political vs. Empirical Views: The debate is often highly political. Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to require only U.S. citizens to be counted for apportionment, arguing that the current system dilutes the votes of American citizens. Democrats generally oppose such changes, citing constitutional requirements and legal precedent.

-No Direct Voting Impact: It is important to note that undocumented immigrants cannot vote, so their impact on elections is strictly through the mechanism of population-based seat apportionment and subsequent redistricting, not direct ballot box influence.

Including all residents, regardless of legal status, in the U.S. Census for the purposes of congressional apportionment has complex and debated political effects. While some studies suggest a potential, but minimal, net benefit for Democrats, recent analysis indicates that the partisan impact for the next census (2030) is uncertain and could favor Republican-leaning states.

Key Points

*Apportionment Basis: The U.S. Constitution and federal law require the census to count the "whole number of persons" residing in each state for apportioning House seats and, by extension, Electoral College votes. This has historically included both citizens and non-citizens (legal and illegal immigrants).

Minimal Historic Partisan Impact: Studies analyzing past censuses, including 2020, have found that the inclusion of undocumented immigrants has had a minimal net impact on the overall balance of power in the House of Representatives.

-For the 2020 census, most researchers estimated an effect of only two to five seats switching between states due to counting undocumented immigrants.

-States that tend to have high immigrant populations, such as California and Texas, gain seats, but these states have varied political leanings, which largely offsets a clear national partisan advantage.

*Future Projections (Next Census): The situation for the 2030 census is currently difficult to forecast, and projections vary.

-Some recent data for 2019-2023 indicates that a large majority (95%) of noncitizen population growth occurred in Republican-leaning "red" states. If this trend continues, Republicans could stand to benefit from the current counting method in the next apportionment.

-Other projections for 2030, assuming current overall growth trends continue, estimate a potential net gain for Democratic-leaning states of a few seats, though the primary impact comes from legal immigration, which is a much larger population than illegal immigration.

-Political vs. Empirical Views: The debate is often highly political. Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to require only U.S. citizens to be counted for apportionment, arguing that the current system dilutes the votes of American citizens. Democrats generally oppose such changes, citing constitutional requirements and legal precedent.

-No Direct Voting Impact: It is important to note that undocumented immigrants cannot vote, so their impact on elections is strictly through the mechanism of population-based seat apportionment and subsequent redistricting, not direct ballot box influence.

I don't need AI to tell me that one administration bringing in more immigrants than vetting can handle, and more than they choose to handle, wasn't deliberate. It was a census issue.

This was after their 'everyone is coming here for asylum' argument fell apart when migrants said they were coming for work.

This is idiotic. There have always been multiple issues. Asylum was and is one. Labor shortages in agriculture, services, and construction was and is another. This is not new.

Republicans have claimed it's about elections or the census; which is bs.

These fat ass Trumpers are all hard asses then we get an ICE agent who *maybe* gets grazed by a car because he's too stupid to do his job right and he goes to the hospital for "internal bleeding". Some dude is waving a snow shovel at an armed ICE agent and shoots the guy because he was "fearing for his life"

The real problem with ICE recruitment isn't that they aren't experienced, trained or vetted - it's that they are all just a bunch of pussies.

And really, these threads about all the people killed by immigrants, and by the drugs they ship here. If so and you aren't calling for the execution of Richard Sackler, then maybe you need some perspective.

I'm sort of shocked Trump hasn't given that dude a pardon. He pardons all the rest of the drug dealers. He'll probably pardon Maduro once he's served his purpose.

The Democrats wanted to know who would pick the crops. Without their crop pickers, the crops would rot in the fields.


AI Overview

Trump's immigration policies in 2025 led to significant farm labor shortages, causing crops to rot unharvested, increasing food production costs, and raising consumer food prices, as increased enforcement and fear deterred immigrant workers, despite some late-year efforts to ease H-2A visa rules for temporary workers. The reduction in the immigrant workforce, coupled with fear, disrupted harvests, particularly in regions like California and the Pacific Northwest, impacting both large farms and smaller operations unable to access visa programs.

Key Impacts on the 2025 Harvest:

*Labor Shortages & Unharvested Crops: Increased ICE enforcement and fear of deportation led many immigrant farmworkers, who often lack legal status, to leave the fields or avoid work, resulting in crops left unpicked.

*Increased Costs & Prices: Fewer workers meant higher labor costs for farmers, which translated to higher consumer prices for fresh produce and meat.

*Fear & Uncertainty: Crackdowns, even if targeting individuals outside farms, created a climate of fear, making workers hesitant to come to work, notes this Washington State Standard article.

*Policy Shifts & Inconsistency: While initial crackdowns caused shortages, the administration later adjusted the H-2A visa program (for temporary foreign workers) and reduced farm raids, acknowledging the need for labor, but the disruptions had already occurred.

*Strain on Small Farms: Farms lacking access to guest worker programs faced severe hardship, with some small producers considering selling off livestock or quitting, reports this Sentient Media article.

Context of the Policies:

*The policies included stricter enforcement, targeting undocumented immigrants broadly, and rolling back protections, which reduced the available workforce significantly by mid-2025, according to the American Immigration Council and Council on Foreign Relations.

In essence, the aggressive immigration enforcement created a significant crisis for the agricultural sector, threatening food supply and affordability, even as some policy adjustments were made later in the year, note the American Immigration Council and Federal Register.

If the presence of ICE pretty much causes a riot anywhere they go - they aren't making anything any better. The riots are worse than some random Venezuelan, even if he's a bad hombre. Saying that the people of Minneapolis should just be less upset about it - have they said thank you? - is just bad leadership.

I never saw that image, and it still doesn’t matter because the agent had no obligation to get down and check what direction the wheels were pointed before he acted. You can watch the videos and see that the wheels were more or less straight at the time the impact and shots occurred. That also doesn’t really matter.

There seem to be two sets of videos, depending on which side one is on.

Perhaps the agent was under no obligation to observe his surroundings. If he had, he would have noticed the driver was turning her steering wheel to the right, her wheels were turned to the right, and the vehicle was moving slowly to the right. All of which would have told him he had ample time to move out of the way. That is why it matters.

It also matters because it helps refute the position of the administration, that Renee Good was a domestic terrorist who weaponized her vehicle and intentionally tried to run agents over..

I won't even mention that the agent shouldn't even have been standing in front of a running vehicle occupied by a driver.

When your wheels are turned far left there is no way to go straight without turning the steering wheel to the right. That's it.
For the tires to be pointed at the agent she had to turn the steering wheel to the right. There's no other way to do it.

He may not have been standing in front of the vehicle. Her reversing the vehicle with the wheels fully turned may have placed him in front of the vehicle. Her significant other, they weren't married, then yelled "drive".
She put the vehicle in drive, her tires were pointed at the agent, who was now oriented in front of the vehicle, she hit the gas and her left front tire spun on ice.

The agent has zero idea what the woman who had been blocking the street for several minutes while laying on her horn is going to do. Zero.

If there was no ice, the agent gets hit harder.

Trump is a failed businessman! A few minor entities filed for bankruptcy and some had to restructure. It was be more surprising in all these decades if a business that diverse always trying new things DIDNT have these.

Trump is grifting! Where is he fleecing the American taxpayer like these shitheads in Minnesota? Every American president seems to magically enrich themselves during their terms, and sure Trump has all these other businesses in the background going on that recent past presidents haven’t, and it presents lots of opportunities for conflicts of interest or pay to play stuff. But haven’t seen anything of dire consequence. If we are all of a sudden going to start holding our politicians to a standard that they can’t profit in any way from their positions, we won’t have any politicians left. What probably would be ok with me really. But let’s apply the rules equally for now.

minor entities:

Trump’s companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection six times between 1991 and 2009, primarily involving casinos and hotels in Atlantic City and New York. These include the Trump Taj Mahal (1991), Trump Plaza (1992), Trump Castle (1992), and Trump Entertainment Resorts (2004, 2009, 2014).

Trump's businesses lost over $1 billion between 1985 and 1994.

So anytime an officer feels slightly threatened you can just shoot them in the face multiple times, even after they are no longer a threat. Don’t sign up for the job if you aren’t willing to assume risk.

That was kind of a long article. I didn't see anything that helps your cause or relates to the question.

"Following cars, making noise and filming law enforcement operations is legal, according to Tracy Roy of the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. Physically blocking ICE agents from making an arrest is not. (And getting arrested, Neubauer said, takes resources away from the movement, in addition to the high personal cost.)"

Also, the driver was turning her steering wheel to the right indicating she was attempting to leave, not weaponizing her vehicle, not trying to run him over. This is visible in his own video

In addition, the vehicle's wheels were turned to the right, further indicating she was attempting to leave, not weaponizing her vehicle, not trying to run him over.

Since the agent had chosen to place himself in potential danger by taking a position in front of a running vehicle occupied by a driver, he was very much obligated to take note of these crucial details before making a decision to use deadly force.

AI Review

According to video footage captured on his own cellphone during the January 7, 2026, fatal shooting in Minneapolis, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, identified as Jonathan Ross, can be heard uttering the phrase "fucking bitch" immediately after shooting 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.

*Context of the Video: The video, which was reportedly leaked to a media outlet, shows the interaction from Ross's perspective. After firing three shots into the SUV, a male voice is heard saying "fucking bitch".

*Reactions: The phrase was allegedly spoken just after Good told the agents, "I'm not mad at you," right before she was shot while attempting to drive away.

*Controversy: The video has prompted widespread outrage and is being scrutinized for evidence of intent in a potential murder trial. The Trump administration has claimed the agent acted in self-defense, while the video evidence is being cited by critics to argue that the shooting was unjustified.

Some reports initially noted that while the audio is clear, the video was sometimes described as capturing "a male voice" right after the shooting, with some outlets, such as the Daily Beast, clarifying it was "unclear" if the voice was specifically Ross's, though multiple sources attribute it to him. However, the overwhelming consensus and reporting by mainstream news and social media accounts of the incident (such as from attorney Lee Merritt) identify the voice as belonging to ICE agent Jonathan Ross.

I have a good relationship with local police. Why the fuck would I do that?

The article you linked indicated that blocking them is illegal. It did not say it's a capital offense though.

I don't know the whole story about the activities of Renee and Becca Good. It is clear she had dropped her 6 year old off at school. She was shot at 9:15 AM

The video indicates Renee had backed up and allowed some vehicles to pass. Another one declined to pass. Agents got out and approached her ...

You quite often have a truly twisted way of looking at things. I can’t think of a single “Democrat” who would go after an Uber driver after saying “the billionaires should be taxed more.” Even Pelosi wouldn’t do that.

Most likely Ross leaned into the vehicle, which with where his feet are when the first shot is fired seems to be a likely conclusion. Again, the chances of him holding a phone, a pistol, delivering 3 accurate shots and not falling down after being “hit” seems extremely unlikely.

That was kind of a long article. I didn't see anything that helps your cause or relates to the question.

"Following cars, making noise and filming law enforcement operations is legal, according to Tracy Roy of the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. Physically blocking ICE agents from making an arrest is not. (And getting arrested, Neubauer said, takes resources away from the movement, in addition to the high personal cost.)"
Following law enforcement is legal under allowable circumstances.
Making noise is legal.
Filming is legal.


What about "The goal is to “distract them, to occupy their time,” O’Keefe said. “The more time they’re trying to get away from us, the less time they’re spending searching for people to abduct.” ?

Is coordinating and conducting activities to impede federal law enforcement legal ?

How about you read the Supreme Court decision Tennessee vs. Garner and get back to us"

You've read Tennessee v Garner ?

"It is not, however, unconstitutional on its face. Where the
officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses
a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or
to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable to prevent
escape by using deadly force. Thus, if the suspect threatens
the officer with a weapon or there is probable cause to believe
that he has committed a crime involving the infliction or
threatened infliction of serious physical harm, deadly force
may be used if necessary to prevent escape, and if, where
feasible, some warning has been given. As applied in such
circumstances, the Tennessee statute would pass constitu-
tional muster."

The courts have ruled that a 3500 pound vehicle can be a lethal weapon.

Investigative notes from Jack Reacher: Ross stands in front of running vehicle (defying training and protocol), switches phone to non-shooting hand, pulls pistol. "Gets hit," slides on ice but doesn't fall down after being "hit" and not only doesn't fall, but doesn't lose grip on phone, and accurately delivers 3 shots, 2 directly from the side.of the vehicle. Reacher theory: Jonathon Ross was bitten by a radioactive spider sometime before the shooting.

What exactly do you mean by that?

The Trump Administration has taken the position that the ICE agent fired in self defense; that Renee Good drive the vehicle directly at him. In that case, Gerner is moot.

Others believe the evidence indicates Good was attempting to leave the scene. In that case, if the shooting was intended to prevent her from escaping, Martin would apply.

What if the vehicle had brushed the agent's torso on the way by; which pissed him off, and he shot her as an act of retaliation?

I'm not quite sure how you've come to the conclusion you're gonna be immune from this disaster.
ICE goes in. Walz calls in the guard. Trump deploys troops from Alaska - you know because they are cool with the cold.
Add in the Minneapolis PD, and citizens getting more pissed off their city has turned into 1989 Beijing.

A firefight breaks out and we're all fucked. Your cushy little job can't withstand it.

Could be something as simple as a bunch of kids with drones deciding to fuck with ICE by buzzing them.
If all hell breaks loose and you're fucked - you'll be out there saying "Yes, the country got destroyed, but it was all due to those meddling kids!"

In your world, we just leave Minneapolis alone to their own devices, which is a lot scarier to me than the consequences of making a stand against these corrupt sanctuary cities running ponzi schemes against the American taxpayer while harboring criminals.

Yes, Minnesota State Representative Leigh Finke (often referred to as Leah or Leigh Finke) did call for more such actions.  Following an incident where anti-ICE protesters disrupted a church service at Cities Church in St. Paul (where a local ICE office leader also serves as pastor), Finke posted on Facebook praising the disruption as "nonviolent resistance" that is "essential." She explicitly stated that these actions "must continue" until ICE is removed from the state, the current administration is out of the White House, and broader goals of dignity for immigrants are met.  Multiple conservative-leaning outlets (e.g., Alpha News, The Gateway Pundit) reported on this in January 2026, framing it as her encouraging more church-targeted anti-ICE protests. The reports quote her directly from the Facebook post, and the phrasing has been widely shared as a call for escalation of similar disruptions. No mainstream counter-reports appear to dispute the quote or context.

AI Overview

The federal definition of domestic terrorism involves violent, criminal acts within the U.S. that are intended to intimidate a civilian population or influence government policy through coercion, mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping, stemming from domestic ideological influences like political, religious, or racial motives, and lacking foreign direction. Key U.S. law (18 U.S.C. § 2331) outlines this, with the FBI defining it as ideologically-driven violence by U.S. persons within the U.S. for domestic goals, distinct from international terrorism.
Key Components of the Federal Definition
Violent Criminal Acts: Must involve actions that violate U.S. or state criminal laws, dangerous to human life.

*Ideological Goals: Motivated by domestic influences, such as political, religious, social, racial, or environmental beliefs.

*Intent to Intimidate/Coerce: Aims to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence government policy.

*Within U.S. Jurisdiction: Occurs primarily within the territorial U.S..

*No Foreign Direction: Crucially, it involves individuals or groups acting without direction from foreign terrorist organizations or nations.

Where to Find It

*U.S. Code: Primarily in 18 U.S.C. § 2331(5).
FBI & DHS: The FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) use these definitions for tracking aYnd investigation.
In Practice

*Acts like racially-motivated violence, anti-government extremism, or attacks driven by radical ideologies (e.g., concerning immigration or gender) can fall under this umbrella if they meet the criteria, notes an Arnold & Porter article.

*While no single federal law creates a standalone crime of "domestic terrorism," various statutes, including hate crime laws, are used to prosecute these acts, according to a Harvard Law Review article.

To set the record straight, the primary causes of the War of 1812 were British interference with American trade (Orders-in-Council), the impressment (forced conscription) of U.S. sailors into the Royal Navy, and American desires for territorial expansion, particularly into Canada, fueled by "War Hawks" who also pointed to British support for Native American resistance on the frontier. These issues, rooted in the larger Napoleonic Wars, challenged U.S. sovereignty and economic interests, leading to a declaration of war against Great Britain. It was not the British desire to retake its former colonies.

The cause is the context. One cause is a great cause the other cause is people protecting sick criminals and a pyramid scheme to defraud taxpayers. They got all $69 tempo paid in taxes last year. That has to sting.

Nobody is intentionally protecting sick criminals, not even Trump apologists.

The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are honest and hard working.

I am not sure how you are redefining my views.

Renee Good is dropped her son off at school at 9:00 AM and was shot dead at 9:30 AM while attempting to make a right turn.

It appears she and others might have been briefly protesting ICE activities.

She also may or may not  have been guilty refusing to exit her vehicle and attempting to flee. I don't think these 'crimes' rise to the level of domestic terrorism.

I don't know if the agents had probable cause to stop and detain her. I am pretty sure they didn't have a judicial warrant.

Here is more of the story

Federal officers detain 5-year-old boy who school official says was used as ‘bait’ https://share.google/8NAfp8c6C74IjfcDn

A 5-year-old boy arriving home from preschool in Minnesota was taken by federal agents along with his father to a detention facility in Texas, school officials and the family’s lawyer said, making him the fourth student from his Minneapolis suburb to be detained by immigration officers in recent weeks.

Federal agents took Liam Conejo Ramos from a running car while it was in the family’s driveway on Tuesday afternoon, Columbia Heights Public Schools Superintendent Zena Stenvik said during a news conference Wednesday. The officers then told him to knock on the door to his home to see if other people were inside, “essentially using a 5-year-old as bait,” she said.

Stenvik said the family has an active asylum case and has not been ordered to leave the country.

Stenvik said another adult who lives at the home was outside when the father and son were taken, but agents wouldn’t leave Liam with that person. DHS didn’t immediately respond to an email Thursday asking if Conejo Arias had asked to keep his son with him.

Liam and his father were being held in a family holding cell in Texas, Marc Prokosch, the family’s lawyer, said during the news conference.

“Every step of their immigration process has been doing what they’ve been asked to do,” Prokosch said of the family’s asylum claim. “So this is just cruelty.”

Based on recent reports, court rulings, and congressional inquiries, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its agencies, particularly Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), have been accused of spreading misinformation and making false claims, particularly regarding immigration operations and interactions with protestors.
Here are specific examples of alleged lies and misinformation from DHS:

Here are specific examples of alleged lies and misinformation from DHS:

*Fabricated Evidence in "Operation Midway Blitz": In late 2025, a federal judge in Chicago issued a 233-page ruling finding that DHS and Border Patrol officials "repeatedly misled the public" and provided "false or evasive testimony" regarding their actions, including using video with incorrect dates and locations to misrepresent peaceful protests as violent.

*False Claims About Assaults on Agents: DHS falsely claimed a "1,000% rise in assaults against ICE agents," a claim later debunked by data. In another instance, DHS officials claimed protesters threw fireworks at agents, but surveillance, aerial, and body camera footage indicated the explosions were actually flashbang grenades thrown by federal agents.

*Misinformation Regarding Detained U.S. Citizens: DHS has faced accusations of detaining U.S. citizens and lying about the circumstances. For example, a DHS spokesperson claimed a detained individual had "no legal right to be in the United States," which was false, as the individual was a lawful employee. In another case, agents falsely claimed a 13-year-old boy in custody was in possession of a gun and knife.

*Falsehoods Surrounding High-Profile Incidents: DHS falsely accused a mother who had a stillbirth while in ICE custody of homicide. They also falsely claimed a detained journalist was arrested for obstructing traffic, when he was in fact being targeted for his work.

*Misleading Information on Enforcement Actions: During "Operation Midway Blitz," DHS falsely claimed they were not targeting U.S. citizens, despite evidence of lawful residents and citizens being detained. They also claimed that allegations of racial profiling by agents were "disgusting" and "false," while reports indicated agents were using unlawful, broad, and sometimes violent tactics.

*Fabricated Narratives on Social Media: DHS has been criticized for using social media, such as X (formerly Twitter), to push misleading narratives, including using doctored videos or incorrect, out-of-context footage to justify enforcement actions.

Note: The Department of Homeland Security frequently disputes these allegations, often posting their own "fact checks" on their website and social media channels to argue that reports from the media and activists are false.

Based on reports from 2025 and early 2026, Tricia McLaughlin, while serving as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has faced multiple allegations of spreading false information regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.
Key allegations regarding false statements include:

-Body-Slamming" Claim: McLaughlin was accused of falsely claiming in May 2025 that Democratic members of Congress "body-slammed" ICE agents, a statement contradicted by video evidence.

-Misrepresenting Arrest Footage: She was accused of identifying video of a 2025 arrest of a teenage girl by new DHS ERO officers as old Chicago Police Department footage.

-Smearing Detainees: Reports allege she falsely identified a woman who suffered a miscarriage in detention as a "wanted killer".
False Claims on Arrested Individuals: She has been accused of misrepresenting the criminal history of individuals detained by ICE.

-Defending Questionable Use of Force: In early 2026, she was accused of "victim-blaming" and spreading inaccuracies regarding an ICE agent shooting in Minneapolis.

Conversely, DHS statements during this period have framed these accusations as "disgusting smears" by the media and politicians, asserting that McLaughlin and the Department are "setting the record straight" against false narratives.

I’d argue that it’s a direct response to years of anti-male rhetoric from the other side of the aisle. Gen Z is the most conservative male generation in a long time. What we are seeing is backlash.

No one has it harder than a
White Christian male.

Seeing reports that the FBI agent who was in charge of the investigation abruptly resigned. Shocker.
It would be conceivable that Ross, and the other officers present, were interviewed by the FBI.
The FBI presented the interviews and the videos to the Civil Rights Division.
The FBI likely had access to the driver's phone and her partner's phones at this point.

The Civil Rights Division determines, based on the interviews, the videos and the phones, that the officer acted in self-defense,  and made the decision that there was no predicate for continuing the investigation into Ross.

An FBI agent then wishing to pursue the investigation, with no authorization from leadership, then would be in a situation where the agent abides by the determination. Or the agent resigns.

And if any new information arises, the investigation may be re-opened.

We have an issue now that people have lost the plot on the principle of physics and reality.

This guy can talk this smack, and say "haha, it's on your permanent record".

The US has had a huge number of situations where wack jobs have shot up schools or workplaces. Plenty of wack jobs out there. It would not be rational for some wack job to just go wipe out 20-30 ICE agents, but it would not surprise me one bit. And that wack job would probably die, but 20-30 of this smack talking ICE agent's buddies would be dead too, along with thousands if not many more random Americans.

Somehow the Mn's of the world seem to think "OK, this is the world we live in. And we can just surgically remove some small sliver we don't like and have the same world without that sliver. No transgender people and no bad immigrants". But that process is impossible. All you end up doing is crashing the world we live in, which is pretty goddamn comfortable. And the old folks home that is the population of this board will not fare well should that happen. Nor frankly, will the billionaires - their dollars will be worthless, their companies will be worthless, and their bunkers will be worthless. Because they'll be dead within weeks.

This shooting this morning is completely fucking brutal. Dude was on his knees on the ground, and an agent who wasn't in the pile just pulled his gun, maneuvered to find a clean shot, and ripped off 5 rounds.

AI Overview

As of January 2026, approximately 2,000 to 3,000 federal immigration personnel, including ICE agents and Customs and Border Protection officers, have been deployed to the Minneapolis area for a major enforcement operation. This surge, part of a federal crackdown, reportedly dwarfs local police numbers and is considered one of the largest immigration operations.

Key details regarding the ICE presence in Minnesota:

-Total Personnel: Sources indicate a total of around 3,000 federal immigration agents and officers in Minnesota, which includes about 2,000 specifically from ICE.

-Context: This deployment, often linked to Operation Metro Surge" and investigations into fraud, has led to increased, highly controversial enforcement activity in the Twin Cities.

-Impact: Local leaders have described the, often armed, federal presence as "disproportionate," with numbers comparable to five times the staffing of the Minneapolis Police Department.

-Surge Components: The force includes ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

The only thing he did that was even remotely confrontational was step between the ice agent and the woman he needlessly shoved to the ground. And that’s giving ICE every the benefit of the doubt. Pretti was not threatening to anyone. The ICE agent was annoyed Pretti was there, that’s it.

Veterans speak out:

If the ICE guys that shot Pretti are not investigated - let alone charged and convicted of what the public can all judge for themselves with copious video evidence, then the credibility of any form of justice in this country is gone.

At that point, nobody is safe. Good luck to us all. Well played Donald. We aren't Afghanistan, because we have more citizens who will revolt. I just don't know what the post mortem could possibly be.

Find better things to do today too.

In the mean time if somebody tells you not to do anything stupid, don't strap on a 9mm pistol with its optics and a loaded 20 round magazine. And don't be bringing a 2nd magazine with you either when you walk out the door.

And don't go to a federal law enforcement operation, find a couple of women to cooperate, and go play traffic cop while they engage with federal agents. The target of the operation might just get away and still be out on the streets.
You, and the women, might get shoved out of the way by federal law enforcement agents.

And don't resist. Keep telling yourself 'don't do something stupid. Don't do something, stupid.'

Meanwhile, have a good day today.

Yep we got a bunch of snow, went sledding yesterday and made a huge chicken pot pie, watched football and played some Mario Kart. I smoked a brisket overnight, will go sledding again today since the kids are out of school at least until Wednesday.

It’s amusing watching people attempt to drive in the snow around here, Ms Custard got her Highlander AWD stuck in the cul de sac, turns out “snow mode” sucks in deep snow and required 4HI with the traction control off. Got it out to the main road that was plowed and walked all the way back to the house. 😬 We took the solo stove with us to the sledding area at the nearby golf course, it’s usually busy when it snows and it was yesterday. Got a big fire going and passed out some hot buttered rum for the adults and hot chocolate for the kids.

Ms Custard was cold so I sent her in my Jeep to get more firewood, had it in 4WD and she couldn’t figure out how to drive it in the snow either 😂 These people are used to driving on some slick stuff every now and again which snow mode and a light foot is helpful for but when it’s deep you need some throttle!

Think some brisket chili sounds pretty good for dinner…

Yeah right
*************
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara made this statement during an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation" on January 25, 2026.

The quote was given in response to questions regarding the recent fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti by a federal Border Patrol agent during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. This incident was the third shooting involving federal agents in the city in less than three weeks, following the earlier death of Renee Good on January 7, 2026.

According to the official transcript, Chief O'Hara's full statement was:

"So I think, very obviously, there are serious questions that are being raised. And I think the greater issue is, even if there is an investigation that ultimately proves that, at the time of the shooting, it was legally justified, I don't think that even matters at this point, because there just – there is so much outrage and concern around what is happening in the city".

Key Context from the Interview:

*Sustainability of Operations: Chief O'Hara emphasized that his department of roughly 600 officers is "stretched incredibly thin" and that managing the "chaos" resulting from federal operations is "not sustainable".

*Lack of De-escalation: He criticized federal agencies for a lack of de-escalation, noting that while his own department recovered 900 guns last year without shooting anyone, federal agents had been involved in three shootings in three weeks.

*Victim Background: Chief O'Hara stated that Pretti was believed to be a "lawful gun owner" with a permit to carry and no criminal record beyond traffic tickets.

*Call for Reform: He urged federal agencies to operate with the "same discipline, humanity, and integrity" required of local law enforcement.

The key words are "even if." That doesn't mean there was legal justification. Watch the video. The ICE agents unnecessarily escalated the situation. There was no effort to de-escalate. They could have backed off.

Same with Renee Good. ICE could simply have let her drive away. Agent Ross didn't have to get in front of her vehicle. ICE chose to escalate.

The sentence with "even if" is irrelevant. The sentence that follows is offering support for more protesting.

It's not about whose side one is on.

The local police can confiscate a large number of illegal guns without shooting anyone.

There were 300 agents assigned to Chicago for Operation Midway

3000 agents were dispatched to Minnesota, concentrated in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
There is zero, or less, cooperation between Minneapolis and Saint Paul police with ICE.
People alledgedly have been calling 911 to jam the system in efforts to get police deployed away from any ICE operations.
If ICE calls, there is no assistance.
I have seen no reports of any real issues in any location outside of the metropolitan area.
In some places, ICE is welcomed. They do their job and leave.

There are 3000 people in the operation because there is zero cooperation from state and local police. If it takes 20 agents to make an arrest or detainment, it takes 2-3 for the effort and the other 17-18 are for crowd control and protection.

The interfering with ICE operations and the protests are very well coordinated. State and local governments are encouraging the protesting while standing in front of a camera and downplaying any role in the violence.

The downside of zero cooperation is that nearly all of the enforcement is being done on the street. If 1 individual is targeted, and found with a few others who may never be targets, then all of the individuals get detained.

That's what Walz and Frey are causing thru their zero cooperation position. And they've known that and been told that.

What the media reports:
In his press release Governor Walz has disputed the government's position that Minnesota is not cooperating with removal operations. In fact, the Department of Corrections has cooperated with ICE in honoring ICE detainment with state prison inmates upon their release from the state prison system.

The fact check:
The Department of Corrections has nothing to do with the local and county jail systems.

Within a couple of weeks of Trump taking office AG Ellison issued an opinion that ICE detainment requests will not be honored for local and county jail detainees.
When those people are released they can go straight into the community, thereby causing ICE to look for them in the community.

The AG opinion is the root of the matter. The Governor, AG and Mayor endorsed sanctuary city no cooperation position, not ICE, is resulting in the problems in the community.

Michael Homstron is a state representative.

Note the threat of "significant civil liability" in enforcing immigration detainers.
In other words, you fucking better not try it.
This applies to the local and county jail systems.
And this is why Walz can say the Department of Corrections honors immigration detainers while not saying a thing about local and county jails.

This is from last night in Maple Grove, a NW suburb of Minneapolis.
The Maple Groce Police showed up, declared an unlawful assembly and arrested people.
Maple Grove is in Hennepin County, as is Minneapolis.
Maple Grove leadership apparently has no tolerance for what happens routinely in Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

AI
Recent events in Maple Grove, Minnesota, relate to protests against federal immigration enforcement operations under the Trump administration, rather than a direct ICE raid or enforcement action in the city itself.On the evening of January 26, 2026, protesters gathered outside the SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotel (in the 11600 block of Arbor Lakes Parkway). They believed it was lodging U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino (or other federal immigration agents/ICE personnel) amid heightened tensions over immigration crackdowns in the broader Minneapolis/Twin Cities area.The protest escalated:Demonstrators used noisemakers (like pots, pans, and utensils) to disrupt those inside.
Police reported unlawful behavior, including property damage and objects thrown at officers.
Maple Grove Police declared an unlawful assembly, issued dispersal orders, and arrested multiple people (reports vary from "several" to around 24 in some accounts) who refused to leave.

There is zero, or less, cooperation between Minneapolis and Saint Paul police with ICE.
People alledgedly have been calling 911 to jam the system in efforts to get police deployed away from any ICE operations.
If ICE calls, there is no assistance.
I have seen no reports of any real issues in any location outside of the metropolitan area.
In some places, ICE is welcomed. They do their job and leave.

There are 3000 people in the operation because there is zero cooperation from state and local police. If it takes 20 agents to make an arrest or detainment, it takes 2-3 for the effort and the other 17-18 are for crowd control and protection.

The interfering with ICE operations and the protests are very well coordinated. State and local governments are encouraging the protesting while standing in front of a camera and downplaying any role in the violence.

The downside of zero cooperation is that nearly all of the enforcement is being done on the street. If 1 individual is targeted, and found with a few others who may never be targets, then all of the individuals get detained.

That's what Walz and Frey are causing thru their zero cooperation position. And they've known that and been told that.

-The Trump Administration claims Minnesota jails and prisons are releasing the "worst of the worst" instead of allowing ICE to immediately detain them for deportation.
-But many of the detainees highlighted by ICE haven’t been behind bars in Minnesota for several years or haven’t served any time at all in the state, according to court records reviewed by the FOX 9 Investigators.
-The records undercut DHS claims that ICE agents are having to pick up people recently cut loose by county jails.
-The Minnesota Department of Corrections said federal officials either fundamentally misunderstand how the system works, are "incompetent," or are deliberately engaging in propaganda.

...

The backstory:
Minnesota law requires DOC to notify ICE when a person committed to DOC custody is not a U.S. citizen. DOC also honors all ICE detainers and coordinates transfers when ICE requests pickup.

Some county jails in Minnesota, most notably Hennepin County, do not honor ICE detainers.

That means the jail will not hold an inmate for ICE to pick up unless agents have a warrant signed by a judge.

...

The records undercut DHS claims that ICE agents are having to pick up people recently cut loose by county jails.

For example, DHS claims Hoyvanh Khounmixay was recently detained because he has a criminal record that includes sexually abusing a child and failing to register as a sex offender.

That’s true.

However, the sexual abuse charge was from 2006. The last time he spent time behind bars in Minnesota was in 2015. He served 20 days in the Mower County jail for failing to register as a sex offender.

Court records show he has not been in the system since then

**********

ICE agents recently detained an elderly man in his underwear even though he was not the target.

They were actually looking for Lue Moua, a felon from Laos who was convicted of sexually assaulting a minor, rape, kidnapping, and domestic violence.

After grabbing the wrong guy, DHS issued a wanted poster for Moua stating he is the "definition of the WORST OF THE WORST." Anyone who saw him was asked to help federal agents remove him from Minnesota streets.

ICE agents apparently failed to check state court records or the DOC website.

Moua is already in prison.

ICE can pick him up in 2028 when he finishes serving a four-year sentence for kidnapping.

So Judy, don’t think you ever answered my question. What does your pastor/church have to say about ICE?

Our church released a full statement the other day about the current situation. Didn’t say anything about impeding ICE, parking outside their hotels and making noise all night long, rioting, interfering in the arrests of criminals, etc.

While the Bible says to love the immigrant living amongst us, it also says that laws and borders should be enforced.

There doesn’t seem to be an exact Biblical corollary for Biden letting millions in and Trump shipping them back out.  Pretty sure the Biblical middle ground is, “legal immigration and immigrants good, illegal immigration and illegal immigrants, not so good” which is where most sane people fall today. Only very recently has there been this growing sentiment that we need to open the doors and let em all stay. Aka suicidal empathy.

Assertion: More than 10 million undocumented immigrants have flooded across our border during the Biden administration, while the Trump administration saw the lowest number of crossings in United States history.

Response: This is a misleading statement, as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) characterizes border crossings as “encounters,” when migrants are encountered by the Border Patrol and can be returned. According to DHS, over 4 million of migrants encountered have been returned and 20-25 percent encountered are repeat offenders, severely lowering the total amount during the Biden administration.

In addition, the asylum-seekers who have been released into the country lawfully, having been vetted and processed by DHS and given a notice to appear for court proceedings. The number of migrants who have crossed undetected into the United States is much lower.

Annual apprehensions at the border increased nearly 15 percent under President Trump until the border was closed under Title 42 in 2020. Moreover, the Trump administration released a higher percentage of migrants into the country than the Biden administration, by 52.2 percent to 48.6 percent over a two-year period.

A fuck-ton going on there. A lot of it I don't necessarily disagree with. I find him pretty believable but something things I’d like to fact check him on. I also think he overlooks a few things. I view healthcare as a human right, and most of these people are subject to taxes they will never really see any benefit of. What constitutes “free healthcare?” A trip to the ER they never pay for? Are they getting cancer treatment for free? Doubtful.

We also don’t get free healthcare because the masters don’t allow it, not because we can’t afford it. He makes a lot of points, hard to address them all off of memory. I’d love to sit across from him at a table, unlike Judy’s disingenuous hack he thinks so highly of.

Also, an important often overlooked fact, once on American soil, you’re allowed to seek asylum.

There is no evidence he was violent the day he was shot. Do you mean the earlier incident? Calling that violent is a stretch, but are saying the shooting was premeditated revenge? That's murder.

Nope. He made another wrong decision and failed to surrender. Everything went downhill after that.
He was non-cooperative and had done everything wrong to that point. Tho the Lt Gov may disagree because he did what she had suggested that people do. He put his body on the line.

Stop trying to portray this as 'he was shot because he had a gun' or he was shot because he failed to surrender' or 'he was shot because of retribution.'

He should have listened to his parents and law enforcement rather than the Gov, the Lt Gov and the Mayor.

Mn AG Ellison's efforts to end ICE operations in Minnesota were denied by a Biden appointed judge.

"Defendants have introduced evidence that the operation was also launched to increase arrests of noncitizens with criminal convictions in Minnesota and the Twin Cities, an effort they claim has been hindered by Plaintiffs’ refusal to assist with federal immigration enforcement efforts. (See Olson Decl. ¶¶ 14–18; Harvick Decl. ¶ 7; cf. Dkt. 1 ¶ 113.
17)
Based on the record before the Court, a factfinder could reasonably credit that Plaintiffs’
sanctuary policies require a greater presence of federal agents to achieve the federal
government’s immigration enforcement objectives than in a jurisdiction that actively
assists ICE."


Fyi, the judge did not highlight what has been known for quite a while.

In her Saturday ruling, U.S. District Judge Alexandra Menendez noted evidence that ICE and CBP agents have engaged in "racial profiling, excessive use of force, and other harmful actions" during a heightened immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota. While acknowledging these findings, she denied a request to block the operation, BBC and PBS reported.

Key details of the ruling and context:

*Context: The ruling was part of a lawsuit regarding "Operation Metro Surge" in Minnesota, which included the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis resident by an ICE agent.
Findings: Menendez stated there was evidence of "profound and even heartbreaking" effects on residents, including the aforementioned misconduct.

"Decision: Despite these concerns, she denied the injunction to stop the surge because she found the case did not meet the high threshold for immediate, sweeping relief at this stage of the lawsuit, WJHL noted.



*Related Litigation: The judge separately noted that another injunction she issued restricting agent tactics at protests was recently blocked by an appellate court, The New York Times stated.

Meanwhile

In late January 2026, an internal memo from a top U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official reportedly ordered agents in Minneapolis not to interact or communicate with protesters (referred to in the memo as "agitators").

And there are sound reasons for local enforcement not acting as immigration officers. If you watched Law & Order etc. you should know that.

They don't need 3400 poorly trained agents violating the 4th amendment and creating more problems than they solve.

Minneapolis and St. Paul have about 1200 officers combined.

AI review 21 sources

Sanctuary cities are jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, primarily by declining to honor "detainers" issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for individuals in local custody. These policies, which began in the 1980s, are designed to enhance public safety by encouraging immigrant communities to report crimes without fear of deportation.

The conflict often hinges on the distinction between administrative warrants (issued by ICE) and judicial warrants (issued by a court), with many sanctuaries only honoring the latter.

ICE Detainers (Form I-247)

*Definition: An ICE detainer, or "ICE hold," is a nonbinding request from ICE to a local law enforcement agency (LEA) to maintain custody of a person—who would otherwise be released—for up to 48 hours to allow ICE to take them into custody.

*Legal Status: Federal courts have frequently found that holding individuals solely on the basis of a detainer is illegal and may violate Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful detention.

*Sanctuary Policy: Most sanctuary policies instruct local agencies to refuse these requests, as they are not legally binding commands, and to refrain from notifying ICE about release dates.

Administrative Warrants (Forms I-200, I-205

"Definition: These are civil immigration warrants signed by an ICE supervisor or agent, not an independent judge or magistrate. They authorize the arrest of a noncitizen for immigration purposes.

*Limitations: Because they are not reviewed by a judicial branch officer, they do not authorize nonconsensual entry into a private residence.

*"Secret" Directive: As of early 2026, a legal challenge arose regarding a previously undisclosed ICE directive suggesting that a "Warrant of Removal/Deportation" (Form I-205) could be used to enter homes without consent, which civil liberties advocates argue conflicts with the Fourth Amendment.

Judicial Warrants

"Definition: A warrant issued by a federal or state judge/magistrate based on a finding of probable cause

*Authority: A judicial warrant authorizes law enforcement to make an arrest, search, or seizure, and must be complied with, including entry into private homes.

*Sanctuary Requirement: Many sanctuary jurisdictions will only cooperate with ICE if they provide a judicial warrant, citing the need for constitutional compliance.

History

*1980s Origins: Sanctuary policies originated in the 1980s when religious organizations provided sanctuary to Central American refugees fleeing civil war, which the Reagan administration classified as "economic migration".

*First Municipalities: San Francisco was the first to adopt a formal "City of Refuge" ordinance (No. 12-h) in 1989, prohibiting the use of city resources for federal immigration enforcement.

*2017–Present: The Trump administration attempted to revoke federal funding for sanctuary cities, resulting in legal battles over the scope of 8 U.S.C. § 1373, which concerns information sharing.

Rationale

*Public Safety & Trust: The primary argument is that when local police act as immigration agents, immigrants stop reporting crimes, making communities less safe.

"Resource Allocation: Local jurisdictions argue that detaining immigrants for civil infractions is a federal responsibility and a waste of local taxpayer money and police resources.

*Constitutional Protection: Supporters argue that complying with ICE requests without a judicial warrant violates the Fourth Amendment rights of residents.

Recent Developments (2025–2026)

*Stricter Detentions: An ICE memo issued around July 2025 instructed Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers that individuals who entered without inspection were generally no longer eligible for bail, aiming for expedited removal.

*Increased Detainers: Some cities, such as Boston, saw a sharp rise in detainer requests (57 in 2025 vs. 15 in 2024), despite local policies to reject them.

*Litigation: Legal challenges are currently addressing whether administrative warrants can be used to enter private homes, with lawsuits arguing they violate the Fourth Amendment.

President Donald Trump’s top aide, Stephen Miller, shockingly declared that local and state law enforcement have been ordered to “stand down and surrender” as anti-ICE protests continue to grip the state.

In a social media post late Sunday night, Miller said, “Only federal officers are upholding the law.”

He added: “Local and state police have been ordered to stand down and surrender.

Democrats… We should start banning semis, not the legals or illegals driving them!!!

Semis and cars sharing the same roads isn't really all that safe.

AI Overview

Sharing the road with semi-trucks presents significant safety challenges due to the extreme differences in size, weight, and maneuverability, contributing to thousands of fatal crashes annually. While many drivers complete journeys safely, accidents involving large trucks are often devastating for passenger vehicle occupants, who make up the majority of fatalities in such collisions.

Here is a breakdown of the dangers and safety considerations:

Why Sharing the Road is Dangerous

-Massive Blind Spots ("No-Zones"): Semi-trucks have large blind spots on both sides, directly behind, and in front of them. A general rule is: if you cannot see the driver's face in their side mirror, they cannot see you.

-Long Stopping Distances: Due to their immense weight, large trucks require 40% more time and distance to stop than passenger cars.

-Wide Turns: Trucks often need to swing wide to the left to turn right, creating a danger for cars in the adjacent lane.

-High Center of Gravity: Semis can tip over more easily in high winds or during sharp turns.

-Size Disparity: A passenger vehicle is 20-30 times smaller than a semi-truck, leading to catastrophic outcomes in collisions, such as "underride" crashes where a car slides under a trailer.

Common Misconceptions and Contributing Factors

*Fault Distribution: Contrary to popular belief, passenger vehicle drivers are often at fault in collisions with large trucks (ranging from 56% to 80% of cases, according to different studies).

*Risky Driver Behaviors: Common causes of accidents include cutting off trucks, lingering in blind spots, and merging without allowing enough space.

*Environmental Factors: In wet weather, trucks can create heavy spray, reducing visibility for smaller vehicles, or blowouts can send debris flying.

Tips for Safer Coexistence

-Increase Following Distance: Maintain a minimum 4-second gap behind a truck.

-Pass Quickly and Safely: Only pass on the left, and ensure you can see the entire front of the truck in your rearview mirror before merging back in.

-Avoid "The Sandbox": Never drive in the narrow space between two trucks or directly beside one for extended periods.
Give Extra Room for Turns: Do not attempt to pass on the right when a truck is turning.

-Turn Off High Beams: Avoid blinding truck drivers with bright lights at night.

We have a very strict licensing provision for Drivers licenses, testing, re-testing, and those found to be driving outside of provisions can have their license revoked and their vehicle impounded.

To address drunk driving via checkpoints where drivers found to be driving drunk are arrested.

Just because a right is not enumerated in the Constitution, does not mean it does not exist. Also, the meaning of the 2nd amendment is still debatable.

That said, the Courts presently

*View operating a motor vehicle as a privilege granted and regulated by the state

*View the right to keep and bear arms as an individual right subject to reasonable limits

AI Overview:

Key Limitations on the Second Amendment include:

-Prohibited Persons: Restrictions on possession by felons, individuals with certain mental illnesses, or those under domestic violence restraining orders.

-Sensitive Places: Bans on carrying weapons in schools, government buildings, polling sites, and airports.

-Weapon Types: Restrictions on certain types of weapons, such as fully automatic machine guns, or, in some jurisdictions, assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

-Commercial/Public Regulation: Laws regarding background checks, concealed carry permits, and licensing are generally upheld.

The Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) affirmed that the right is not a right to "keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose".

At least 20-26 states have specific laws restricting the possession or discharge of firearms while intoxicated, treating it as a serious criminal offense, often a misdemeanor or felony. These laws typically prohibit using or carrying guns while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, with penalties including fines, jail time, and revocation of concealed carry permits.

Key aspects of state laws regarding firearms and intoxication include:

Specific State Examples:

*Ohio: It is illegal to carry or use any firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, classified as a first-degree misdemeanor Ohio Revised Code.

*llinois: The Firearm Concealed Carry Act prohibits carrying a concealed weapon under the influence of alcohol or drugs, with penalties ranging from Class A misdemeanors to Class 4 felonies.

*Florida: Using a firearm (discharging or holding) while intoxicated can result in up to 60 days in jail.

*Virginia: Carrying a concealed handgun while under the influence is a Class 1 misdemeanor, leading to a five-year permit revocation and up to 12 months in jail.

*Oklahoma: It is unlawful to carry or use rifles, shotguns, or pistols while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, per 21 O.S. § 21-1289.9.

-Definition of Intoxication: While some states use the legal driving limit of 0.08% blood alcohol content (BAC), others define it as being "under the influence" to a degree that impairs judgment, which can apply even below the 0.08% threshold.

-Possession vs. Discharge: Laws often cover more than just firing; simply possessing or carrying a firearm while intoxicated is illegal in many jurisdictions.

-Consequences: Penalties frequently include significant fines, jail sentences, suspension or permanent revocation of concealed carry licenses, and potential felony charges for repeat offenders.

United States courts have ruled on the constitutionality of various police checkpoints, establishing clear boundaries between acceptable administrative stops and unconstitutional,,,GENERAL crime-control measures. While courts have approved checkpoints for sobriety, license verification, and immigration, they have not approved checkpoints designed specifically to find unlicensed weapons, as such tactics are generally considered unconstitutional general crime control.

Here is a breakdown of the legal landscape:

1. The Supreme Court Ruling on General Crime Checkpoints

-The definitive case is City of Indianapolis v. Edmond (2001), where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that checkpoints whose primary purpose is to detect evidence of ordinary criminal wrongdoing (such as illegal drugs or unlicensed weapons) are unconstitutional.

-The Rationale: The Court determined that while stops for public safety (e.g., drunk driving or border security) are permissible, using checkpoints to catch "general crime" violates the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure.

-The Line: If a,checkpoint is designed to,say, "see if you have a gun," it is likely illegal. If it is designed to check for a driver's license and the officer happens to see an illegal gun in plain view, that may be admissible.

2. Legal vs. Illegal Checkpoints

-Legal (Administrative/Regulatory): Sobriety checkpoints, border patrols, and license/registration checks are generally legal because they have a specific, non-investigatory purpose.

-Illegal (General Crime Control): Checkpoints aimed at searching for illegal drugs, unlicensed weapons, or "crime" in high-crime areas are prohibited.

That's actually not true. If the officer sees drugs or a gun in the car during a lawful traffic stop, the officer can act on it.

That's actually not true. If the officer sees drugs or a gun in the car during a lawful traffic stop, the officer can act on it.

the plain view doctrine

At a legal checkpoint, the plain view doctrine allows law enforcement to seize evidence or establish probable cause for a full search without a warrant, provided specific criteria are met.

At a legal checkpoint, the plain view doctrine allows law enforcement to seize evidence or establish probable cause for a full search without a warrant, provided specific criteria are met.

Core Requirements for Plain View

1. Lawful Presence: The officer must be legally allowed to be where they are when they see the item (e.g., at a constitutionally valid DUI checkpoint or border stop.

2. Lawful Access: The officer must have a legal right to access the physical object itself.

3. Immediately Apparent Incrimination: The officer must have probable cause to believe the item is contraband or evidence of a crime immediately upon seeing it, without further investigation or moving the object.

Application at Checkpoints

*Initial Stop: Most checkpoints (DUI, immigration) are "suspicionless," meaning they don't require probable cause to stop you.

*Observation: While checking licenses or performing administrative tasks, officers can look into your vehicle. If they see something like an open alcohol container or illegal drugs, that "plain sight" observation creates probable cause.

*Scope of Search: Once probable cause is established via plain view, the Automobile Exception allows the officer to search the rest of the vehicle for further evidence.

*Limits: Officers cannot move jackets, open bags, or lean deeply into the car just to get a better look unless they already have probable cause. For example, in Arizona v. Hicks, moving a stereo to see its serial number was ruled an unconstitutional search.

Key Legal Precedents

--Horton v. California (1990): Clarified that the discovery of evidence does not need to be "inadvertent" to be valid under plain view.

--Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz (1990): Upheld the constitutionality of sobriety checkpoints as a public safety measure.

--City of Indianapolis v. Edmond (2000): Ruled that checkpoints primarily for "general crime control" (like drug sweeps) are unconstitutional.

“I don’t hate immigrants. I just want them to do it the right way.”

I keep seeing this, and from people I consider reasonable and educated.

What you don’t understand is that your argument collapses the moment you look at reality.

Because the people being targeted DID do it the right way.

Trump has canceled temporary protection status for more than 1.5 million people.
His administration has revoked more than 100,000 visas.

Some of them for simple traffic violations.

Some for exercising their free speech, like making negative remarks about Charlie Kirk.

These are people who have passed extensive background checks, literally every 6-18 months.

They showed up to court.

They renewed their status.

They paid the fees.

They worked legally.

They studied legally.

They lived here for decades.

Some were literally standing at naturalization ceremonies.

And they still lost their status.

At this point, “the right way” isn’t a path.
It’s a moving target.

You complain about undocumented immigrants while supporting an administration that is taking legal immigrants and MAKING THEM UNDOCUMENTED??

They are also actively looking at avenues to denaturalize immigrants who have become citizens “the right way” by digging up old errors in paperwork.

You can’t scream compliance and then punish those who are compliant.

And if compliance doesn’t protect you, then this was never about legality.

It’s about who people think belongs. It’s about the color of your skin. It’s about prejudice, and it’s about race.

Requires considering Biden opening the border to be legal, or “the right way.” 

Does not consider that when Biden was thrown out on his ass, it was made not legal again. As it should be. 

Ray is an open borders globalist. This is not popular policy in these here United States.

Straw man or fundamental misunderstanding?

Yes, I am a globalist and prefer borders to be gates rather than fences.

Biden didn't open the border. We have been over that in detail.

That said, the United States Constitution prohibits Bills of Attainder and Ex Post Facto laws. The Due Process Clause prevents the judicial and executive branches from retroactively criminalizing conduct that was egal when it was committed.

Fundamental fairness tells us the rules simply can't be changed while the game is underway.

Reply to custard

"Overall approval of ICE has declined significantly, from a higher standing to roughly 33%-36% in early 2026, according to Navigator Research and Marist Poll.'

"While a majority of Americans support legal immigration and pathways to citizenship, public support for "open borders" (removing all restrictions) is low, with only 33% favoring it."

What Biden did was not even close to unrestricted open borders.

That said, actual open borders are about as popular as ICE.

I can actually answer that if you have a few days. The ACA has done pretty well despite Republican sabotage.

One problem is there are people who have too much to qualify to qualify for Medicaid and too little to qualify for the ACA subsidies. The pandemic subsidies filled some of that gap..

Republicans are still pushing failed free market solutions.

I decided to retire despite being a ways away from Medicare but this will be dodgy eventually. I’m gonna do the entirety of 18 months of Cobra for sure.

Another co worker ended up starting his own small business solely for the ability to start a group plan - nothing in the ACA exchanges would let him use Stanford. I don’t know the full details - but basically we need all of Washington to just man up and produce a comprehensive national health plan and collect the taxes to fund it
