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.

“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.

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

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. angry

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 26-Jan-26 18:15:55

Suggestion that Trump is de-escalating . .

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

The leopard does not change its spots.

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.

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.

imaround Mon 26-Jan-26 15:42:19

A judge ruled that ICE agents just have Judicial Warrants to enter peoples homes, in keeping with the 4th Amendment.

Remember ICE has administrative warrants that have not been signed by a judge. DHS doesn't get to change policy based on an Unconstitutional interpretation of the Constitution.

From the ACLU. It described the torture that the migrants are allegedly suffering at Ft Bliss. 3 migrants have died there in recent months.

Trigger warning. This is depraved.

House of Representatives passed the funding bill with 7(9?) Democrats joining Republicans in voting to increase ICE funding. (They will be unemployed come November, Mark my words).

Now it goes to the Senate, who has vowed to shut it down. It will partially shut down the Government again.

FYI. If the Senate passed it. Then Trump would sign it or veto it. If he vetos it, Congress can override the veto with 2/3 of its members voting yea. A good bipartisan bill can have support called a veto proof majority.

It is really, really hard to get 2/3 of Congress to agree on anything these days.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 26-Jan-26 10:04:36

I think that when these killings get taken to court and if found unlawful, then the blame must lie entirely with Trump. Just as other state leaders have been found guilty of heinous crimes against the citizens then so should he.

The ICE agents are simply his arms reaching into the state.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 26-Jan-26 09:31:50

The killers and those committing violence against US citizens are masked, are being protected because they are apparently anonymous.

This should never be allowed or become normalised.

Maremia Mon 26-Jan-26 09:25:03

They did, and this is the next vote, maybe in a different chamber.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 26-Jan-26 09:15:16

Some democrats voted with republicans over funding ICE.

Elegran Mon 26-Jan-26 09:00:40

What are the odds that more funds for ICE will be found, probably by cutting something more essential for the general population?

Maremia Mon 26-Jan-26 07:27:13

Democrats plan to block the next stage of funding, because of this latest atrocity.
Facebook reports, not yet authenticated, claim that ICE is running out of funds.

Johnny Hubbard, on FB:-

"Minnesota believes in law and order. We believe in peace.

"Let’s get some truth out there about the man shot & killed by ICE. Not law enforcement. ICE & DHS are not law enforcement. Let’s get that straight. Lets repeat- DHS/ICE are not law enforcement- they are border patrollers - untrained in community law enforcement.

He was a local nurse. He was out helping in an intersection getting traffic moving. Minnesota is an open carry state. He had a gun in his back waste [waist?] holder (on video). It was NOT in his hand (verified by video). He was tackled by 6 ICE agents. Beaten (all on video). You can see his hands out in front of his head, still being punched in the face by several agents- 5 other agents on top. A shot or 2 rings out. The man is stretched out on his back, out. Another agent unloads his gun on the man, 10 shots while man is lying on his back stretched out & probably already unconscious.

^Dan Bovino just had a press conference. Claiming the man was running at agents, with intent to massacre them.. WTF?!?!
All clear lies. Total video proven lies. So that is now officially, before any investigation or anything, DHS’s story.. just minutes ago DHS announced THEY will become the ones investigating. Not FBI, not local or state police. DHS, who has already given their side not an hour after the murder.. Bovino disparaging & slandering the man before even knowing who he was or what he was even doing. A local nurse with only a few parking tickets on his record.

This is deeply shameful.. deep
And now, of course, Trump is truth socially wild lies & conspiracy.. about the man, the local police, local & state officials."

And they talk about ‘broken Britain’ —parts of America are in bits just now. Makes you sick to the stomach.
