Creators and communities everywhere take a stand against ICE
(The Verge) The tenor on social media and Reddit took an even sharper turn yesterday, following the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE. That quilters on Instagram or a Facebook account dedicated to New England gravestones have decided enough, is enough, is one thing. But, judging from the comments, it seems like the government has lost the support of r/military as well. The subreddit is filled with angry posters decrying that this is exactly what tyranny looks like and sharing memes mocking Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. When fitness influencers, duck-painting TikTokers, football subreddits, and even Second Amendment rights activists have finally broken their silence, it seems like the government has lost control of the narrative.
Alex Pretti did not brandish gun, witnesses say in sworn testimony
(The Guardian) Two witnesses to the killing of Alex Pretti have said in sworn testimony that the 37-year-old intensive care nurse was not brandishing a weapon when he approached federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, contradicting a claim made by Trump administration officials as they sought to cast the shooting of a prone man as an act of self-defense. Their accounts came in sworn affidavits that were filed in federal court in Minnesota late Saturday, just hours after Prettis killing, as part of a lawsuit brought by the ACLU on behalf of Minneapolis protesters against Kristi Noem and other homeland security officials directing the immigration crackdown in the city.
Democrats will not provide votes to advance DHS funding bill in wake of Minneapolis shooting, Schumer says
(CBS News) Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Saturday that Democrats will not put up the necessary votes to advance a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of immigration agents shooting and killing a man in Minneapolis on Saturday. The House on Thursday passed a funding package, along with a separate measure to fund DHS, sending the bills to the Senate for approval, along with two other funding measures that passed the House last week. To advance the legislation, Republicans will likely need eight Democrats to vote for the legislation, since Sen. Rand Paul has generally voted against appropriations bills. If the funding package does not pass the Senate, there will be another partial government shutdown.
Democrats in Texas Senate race call for ICE overhaul, hours after Minnesota shooting
(NBC News) Hours after federal immigration agents killed a man in Minneapolis, the top Democrats running for U.S. Senate in Texas appeared on a debate stage together and both called for overhauling Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Just minutes into the debate between Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico, which was hosted by the Texas AFL-CIO and moderated by Nexstars KXAN-TV and The Dallas Morning News, Crockett referenced the shooting by Department of Homeland Security agents. She pointed to the incident to lay out the stakes of the race ahead of the March 3 primary.
Conservatives Call Out DHS Second Amendment Hypocrisy
(Mediaite) Some conservatives were quick to push back on the Department of Homeland Securitys claims following a 37-year-old man being shot and killed. DHS said the suspect had two magazines and no ID. They posted a picture of the pistol the suspect allegedly had and claimed he wanted to cause maximum damage and massacre law enforcement. Some conservatives and Second Amendment activists, however, questioned whether a rush to judgement was being made about a lawful gun owner.
State Terror Has Arrived
(NY Times) After the past three weeks of brutality in Minneapolis, it should no longer be possible to say that the Trump administration seeks merely to govern this nation. It seeks to reduce us all to a state of constant fear a fear of violence from which some people may at a given moment be spared, but from which no one will ever be truly safe. That is our new national reality. State terror has arrived.
ICE investigates after Colorado group says agents left 'death cards' in arrested immigrants' abandoned cars
ICE is investigating - and issued a rare condemnation - after a Colorado nonprofit said agents left behind branded death cards in vehicles abandoned after their owners were arrested in the states high country. The cards were stamped with ICE Denver field office and the address and phone number for the immigration detention center in Aurora, said Alex Sánchez, the president and CEO of Voces Unidas, a Glenwood Springs-based immigrant-rights advocacy group. The cards were left in several cars abandoned after their occupants were arrested by ICE agents earlier this week in Eagle County, during what Sánchez described as fake traffic stops.

Peace talks on Russia-Ukraine war end as fighting rages
