Inside Trump’s Plans To Protect Killer ICE Agents ‘No Matter What’ Minnesota officials want to investigate ICE’s killing of a mother in Minneapolis. Team Trump has been planning for a moment like this.

Since last year, Trump admin planned what to do if ICE agents were accused of crimes (even murder):
Protect them “no matter what."

Trump laid out ways to retaliate:
—Refuse to hand over an agent
—Charge local officials with “obstructing"
—Threaten to cut off more funding

In six years of shootings, no ICE officer has ever been indicted, regardless of evidence. Absurd.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

@texasaft.org filed the lawsuit to stop an overreach that threatens educators and students. This case seeks to block a harmful policy, end the related investigations, and require clear guidance so school leaders know they are not mandated to carry it out.

Black folks have documented and called out state violence for years to the disregard of dominant society. When we as a society normalize the police killings of Black people, refuse to dismantle qualified immunity, and expand the police state, we all become even more vulnerable.

Los Angeles school worker shares frustration over parents having to leave their children’s graduation ceremony because ICE raided an elementary school’s graduation today

Kilmar Abrego Garcia should never have been unlawfully deported in the first place.

While I’m glad he’s back in the US, he should be reunited with his family and the Trump Administration must stop targeting him.

We got AFT and NEA in the house this morning making sure our students have everything they need to thrive! Thanks to everyone out in the streets this morning fighting to #ProtectOurKids. #EdMatters

Canceling TSA workers' union contract is an attack on the brave workers who keep our skies safe. The Trump administration is cheating TSA officers—many of them veterans—out of the wages, leave and protections they fought for & won.
