GIVE HIM HIS HAT AND BACKPACK BACK YOU GHOULS

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse.

With no warning, feds just gassed people.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

Trump & Vance’s agents saw tens of thousands of people — of all ages & races — come out *in below zero temperatures* to protest their tax-funded violence, their murder of their neighbor.

And the very next day, they executed another one.

What can Americans conclude from this?

Do not watch the video.

They beat then shot the person to death in south Minneapolis Today.

It wasn’t just a murder.

It was an execution.

Watching it won’t help anyone.

Warrants must be issued immediately.

Unite against Trump’s militarized occupation in Minnesota! Trump’s violent occupation in the Twin Cities is an escalation of what Trump has been executing in Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Portland. And it’s only getting worse.  Trump has been threateni...
