Rennee Good's family lawyers have now released the results of an independent autopsy, showing three gunshot wounds. She was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said at the time the agent opened fire after Good tried to ram officers with her vehicle.

The DHS has not yet published the outcome of its investigation. We await details of what legal action Good's family lawyers may take against DHS. This thread has been started as the previous thread comes towards its 1000 post end to discuss the aftermath, impact and repercussions.

They have started arresting journalists today.

He is trying to send them to Italy, why wouldn't "monitor" elections at home? They just seized 2020 voting records from Georgia yesterday. He won't give that up so I guess he is going to find those 11,000 votes from 6 year ago of it is the last thing he does. /s

The threat to illegal immigrants in the area isn’t going away as cracking down and deportation was high on the agenda for Trump and his administration and is popular generally with most Americans as well.It’s the way that it’s been implemented by ICE that’s the problem and the new boss will be looking to change that, possibly by getting police to keep protesters back while immigration gets on with any arresting of immigrants.

Woman interviewed in Minneapolis, saying that although Trump is supposedly making changes etc, the threat is not going away, because if they withdraw Trump will see it as loosing and he hates losers. (Something to do with his childhood and fathers mockery).

Ms Noem is preparing her Nuremberg defence " I was merely following orders". I think she senses a change coming, and has fears for how her behaviours might be viewed in the near future.
I do hope so.

NotSpaghetti Fri 30-Jan-26 09:30:25

Yes he will WWM
Anything he can do...

He apparently already has people posted at hospitals. I read about ICE at A&E..

He'll stop at nothing in my opinion.

Whitewavemark2 Fri 30-Jan-26 09:26:52

I guess, except Trump reckons postal votes are fraudulent.

Maremia Fri 30-Jan-26 09:20:49

That could happen WhiteWave. Should worried folk plan to use their postal vote instead?

Whitewavemark2 Fri 30-Jan-26 09:18:45

Question

Come November, will Trump deploy the goons to stand outside voting places to deter the black vote?

"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has conceded she may have gotten some information wrong in her initial response to Border Patrol’s killing of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis ICU nurse she labeled a domestic terrorist."

She is so brave. They all are.

Trying to gauge a new thread for tomorrow. Cuba or election interference seek to be his next targets. angry

imaround thank you for posting the interview with the lady in the pink coat.
I thought it was a powerful testimony.

And we think we’ve got problems … just gets worse.

I never in a million years expected to watch the NRA turn on Trump.

Democrats just blocked the spending bill. We are headed for another shut down over ICE funding. This nice "we will do better act" press conference doesn't change my mind at all. Especially since Homan just called Minneapolis a theater, as if we are a war zone.

I am proud of my fellow Americans right now for standing up for what is right. Hopefully this turns the tide

The NRA and the other gun associations are being very vocal about combating the Trump admin’s rhetoric on legal, peaceful protesters exercising their lawful rights to carry arms. The gun lobby in the US is very powerful. They’ve managed to successfully challenge gun laws in the bluest of blue states, and have been staunchly Republican for as far as I can remember. This is an interesting clash for sure. The man they’ve donated millions to is openly opposing the very foundation of their existence.

My son is saying he is seeing an increase of people of all backgrounds at the shooting range in his town lately. Trump forgets that the 2nd Amendment exists for false kings and their anti-people governments. The gun lobby and other Republicans will indeed rein him in on this issue. Guaranteed.

Seems as though Noem is throwing Miller under the bus and Miller is throwing the agents, now on leave from their jobs, under the bus.

www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/politics/stephen-miller-alex-pretti-trump

I read earlier that Miller (?) said something about the gun accidentally misfiring and that is why the agents shot him. Except there is no evidence of the gun firing at all in the video, which means if it were fired, it would have been after the murder happened.

Here is the interview with the woman in the pink coat from the day of the murder.

The agents involved in the shooting have been placed on leave, it is being reported. That is SOP for investigations of officer involved shootings.

imaround Wed 28-Jan-26 17:59:07

So this happened. They had a special election and both Dems one. One of them by 95% I heard. If that is true, I don't think I have ever seen That happen before.

Republicans should be worried.

imaround Wed 28-Jan-26 16:20:24

Here is an article about it. This is the only one I could find that wasn't paywalled.

Looks like they are saying ICE agents told them he had a gun and that is why he was shot.

They are looking for a fall guy IMO.

ICE sightings are up in our Capital the last few days, so it appears they are spreading like a bad virus now.

Maremia Wed 28-Jan-26 16:16:50

Is she saying it is all Stephen Millers's fault? Sack him, not me.

imaround Wed 28-Jan-26 16:03:59

I have no idea what this is about yet. Going to be an interesting day.
