Woman shot and killed by ICE in Minnesota- potential legal action and outcome of investigation.

I have been reading of the deaths at Ft Bliss ( a misnomer) and have been wondering what is going on. It was obvious really but one lives in hope.

A Facebook reel, but this video shows how the Minnesota National Guard is allowing people safely engage in their 1st Amendment rights.

They have been told to wear these safety vests and not over their faces so they can be identified as NOT being part of ICE so that people know they are there to help them, not kill them.

What a difference.

Suggestion that Trump is de-escalating . .

This is only happening because of the criticism Trump is getting,

The leopard does not change its spots.

I hope anyone deescalates so no more innocent people die. I don't trust Steven Miller though. He is the one who gave ICE agents a quota of people to be detained. The man is a Psychopath IMO. I am not professional though.

The good news here is that more Republicans are finding their line in the sand and speaking out.

This

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.

Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

I think that the government said he had committed suicide.
Lies.

This interview transcript gives a very thorough look at the 4th Amendment that ICE is violating if anyone is interested.

I watched Leavitt gaslighting the American people saying that Trump wants nobody hurt in Minneapolis.

Who sent these thugs out in the first place Leavitt?

Did they say on TRIP that Trump can legally get away with lying but people like Leavitt could face prosecution in the future?

Oh I haven’t listened to everything I don’t think - but I also might have missed that.

The theory is that the Supreme Court gave him immunity. That shields him, allegedly, for anything he does while President. That does not shield any of his cabinet or staff.

Just remember, he who is in charge makes the rules. So if when Democrats are in charge again, they will reverse that ruling.

Just remember, all 3 branches of the Government are in this together. The Heritage Foundation has spent 40 years placing judges on benches all over the country, including the SC.

They are all corrupt and no matter how we get out of this, everything will change. Many people no longer trust the Government (both sides), Law Enforcement, nor the SC, so we cant go back to SOP.

I am sharing this article as a gift, hope the link works. I am leaving the long link so I don't break anything.

Bovino has been demoted and will go back to California to retire.

Noem and her Second in command are probably next as they have been summoned to Congress by Rand Paul. He can't fire her, but they can ask her to resign or start impeachment proceedings. I hope it starts a domino effect of cabinet members.

Trump et al seem to be backing down some, for now. Hopefully.

This is an interesting read about the numbers of people ICE have picked up. They may be inflated.

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone”

My friend in Minneapolis has sent me a long email detailing all the atrocities ICE have carried out, including arresting 100 clergymen who were peacefully protesting and tear gassing children. When detainees are released they are not given their possessions back including their phones and warm clothing. Volunteers are outside detention centres caring for those who are released and taking them home. She says Trump instigated all this because he has a grudge against Governor Walz who apparently called Trump ‘weird’ during the last election campaign.

Yes they did.

Thanks Mamie. I need to concentrate more on what I listen to but there’s so much going on at the moment it’s a bit overwhelming!

Thanks for your updates and links, imaround.

It looks like such a sharp U turn it leaves me wondering ‘Now what are they playing at’?

This might be Mr Trump's Waterloo - not just the deaths, but the clear attempt to smear the dead. Unfortunately for him, there are witnesses, and evidence from cameras and phones which are hard to spin.
I am interested in the idea of how potential immunity for the POTUS in time to come may not be extended to his group of sycophants.
Ms Noem, Ms Leavitt et al ( The Cover Up Lying Gang) are as culpable as their leader.
Did you see the clip in which Mr Trump talked about how prices were falling?
An acolyte produced a board with pictures and statistics to illustrate this, as Mr Trump said " Milk is down 44%". The acolyte glanced at the photograph of a carton of milk with the caption - 5%, and without missing a beat, agreed, yes, down 44%..

I am feeling more optimistic after events since the beginning of the year.

Trump started his missions with gusto and there was alarm from his citizens and the world.

But look what has happened.

People are beginning to stand up to this toddler’s bullying and it is showing that he backs down pdq when he understands they are serious.

I think perhaps his days of chaos are numbered.

He has years yet as President Whitewavemark2 my own view is that he’s only just getting started.
He will do what he wants to do until any pushback gets too great but that leaves a lot he can do in the meantime.
I only worry about what he does as foreign policy as that’s what’s most concerning for the world.

I have been interested in reading about Miller’s influence on Trump, and how it has strengthened over the past few weeks.

The trouble is neither him nor a Trump are reading the room when it comes to the Americans attitude and dislike of ICE. And all that they stand for, including many red states.

It is thought that Miller and Trump (whom miller has in his pocket right now), will double down and continue with the Gestapo like tactics and it is thought that they will come up against real resistance in some states, particularly New York, and quite possibly other red states, where Republican senators will be looking at the mid-terms and possible loss of their seats.

It is difficult for us in the U.K. to understand the support for guns outlined in Art. 2, but many Americans including Petti - if he was still alive- will say that the ability to carry guns is essential for defence against rogue governments, and perhaps if Trump continues with his Gestapo tactics this will be the very reason to use them.

I'm wondering if ICE will be less aggressive in the future and the initiative will fizzle out like DOGE did.

MaizieD- I really hope so🤞.

Not if Miller has his way.

Definitely if Miller’s influence is reduced drastically.

Economist YouGov national poll conducted January 16 to 19, 2026. Approximately 1,700 U.S. adults surveyed, weighted to be nationally representative. Question measured agreement with the statement that the country feels out of control. Crosstabs show majority agreement across multiple demographic and partisan groups.
94% of Democrats thought that the country feels out of control.
71% of Independents thought so.
Even half of Republicans thought so.
