I lived my whole life in the twin cities and have a lot of friends, US citizens, who are too scared to go out to eat right now because of the ICE raids. If that wasn’t the point it is certainly the effect. I applaud Walz and Frey, and I will be ranking Frey first next time he’s up for reelection. Something tells me though he will be on to bigger things than mayor of Minneapolis.

- llbeansandrice 8mo agoThey’ve shot and killed American Citizens
- tejohnso 8mo agoPolice shoot and kill American citizens all the time. Obama authorized the bombing of American citizens. Those who are authorized to commit violence tend to do so. That in itself is not really saying much.
- ilinx 8mo agoI don’t understand why you’re bringing up Obama. Nobody is defending him, and I think you might be inferring some sort of tribalistic defensiveness without any evidence. I see that sort of thing a lot, and I’ve never understood it. Please correct me if I misunderstood the point you were trying to make.
- tejohnso 8mo agoThe point I'm trying to make is that highly respected and even lauded individuals kill American citizens and people aren't generally afraid of them, so the fact that "they've shot and killed american citizens" on its own doesn't explain any fear. But I had misread the original question so my point was not quite relevant because the question was stated with justified fear already implied.
- mingus88 8mo agoHow does that boot taste?
- thatswrong0 8mo agoI feel like it’s gotta pretty deep into their mouth. Idk how they’re not gagging
- Tostino 8mo agoCurrently going on? You mean the ones which were prosecuted a few years ago? Or are you talking about that "journalist"'s YouTube video that was hyped by the government to cause misinformed rage?
- teoriket 8mo agoYes I am talking about that "journalist"'s YouTube video, like I said the evidence out there is accessible on the Web. If there is a nanometer evidence that implies your tax money goes to Somalians bank account, you need to investigate that.
- nullocator 8mo agoI'm way more concerned about my tax money going to Donald Trump and his family and cronies. Followed by it going to billionaires and corporations. You know things that are actually happening today. I'm not very concerned at all by fluffed up recycled true crime by d tier content creators that the administration has turned into propaganda and people like you are pushing at every opportunity.
- tastyface 8mo agoSeriously. What percentage of my taxes are going to a "Somalians bank account" as opposed to the greedy, blatantly corrupt pigs in power? I’m guessing there’s an order of magnitude difference, if not several. They are draining the coffers and laughing in our faces about it.
- unsnap_biceps 8mo agoI'm pretty traditional conservative and I don't feel that our tax money should be funding child care directly like it does these days. I want to reduce the debt and taxes. Looking at the "journalist", I really don't understand what people say he uncovered. He showed up with a bunch of people and expected to enter a non-public facility with children to investigate and when he was denied entry, made huge claims about how over half of the state's funding is going to illegal Immigrants. I saw zero proof of anything in their "reporting" nor did I see anything credible in their approach. I fully support investigative reporting, but there's a bar that needs to be meet to be considered a journalist and rage content creators do not meet that bar. If you want to link to specific videos that you feel do meet this bar, I'm happy to watch them, but as of now, I do not believe their reporting one bit.

- valine 8mo agoThe allegations of fraud made by the people invading my home and terrorizing my friends? I’ll take those with a grain of salt. And for the record, I’m not afraid of ICE, never said I was. ICE is racially profiling people, arresting them without cause, and deporting them without due process. I happen to be white, so that doesn’t apply in my case. It’s also coincidentally the same reason I feel safe posting a comment like this online. Free speech is being chilled in communities that ice targets, and I feel responsibility to relay what I’m hearing. ICE also just gunned down a US citizen in the street, and that should scare everyone.

- defrost 8mo ago> ICE shot someone who wasn't complying with several orders to stop her vehicle, to open her door, The first one ordered her to leave, the next one told her to get out of her vehicle and reached into her vehicle without a warrent or justification. Neither had any legal grounds for doing so, at least according to a civil rights lawyer who defended MAGA people deplatformed during the Biden administration. Traffic enforcement is not within ICE's remit, particularly in this case when wide angle footage with long time frames show traffic passing both cars that are across a single lane. > Now hitting the gas pedal and hitting an agent with your big fat SUV: Perhaps avoid the false hyperbole. > It's basically the same story: the left using anything it can to create martyrs The "martyrs" are being created by the incompentance and over reach of ICE.
- bulbar 8mo agoI have a hard time to understand that. The woman just accelerated from 0mph to what, 4mph? The officer was aware of the car. The car was taking a turn away from the officer. That was no life threatening situation. If the officer had not shot, what would have happened? The woman would have left the scene while the officers already had the license plate information. So I am not sure what your take is here.
- antonvs 8mo agoYour question is essentially equivalent to "Why are you scared of the Gestapo if you aren't a Jew?" It's not a coincidence that a winner of the Nobel Prize gifted his medal to the then Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels[1], exactly as María Corina Machado gifted her Nobel medal to Trump. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. If you close your eyes to all these similarities, you're going to be in for a big surprise.

- nullocator 8mo ago> The woman who got shot thought she was on a movie set, tried to act cool and then attempted to run over an officer. Citation needed. Absolutely wild to claim to know the thoughts of a dead woman. Do you speak for the dead also? Shills keep bring up Obama deportations. Obama's administration primarily followed the law, observed due process and habeas corpus, didn't send people to concentration camps in other countries, and didn't shoot mother's in the head and then call them terrorists. It should be clear why the response is so different, there's no need to act naive

- NekkoDroid 8mo ago1. US Police is very well known to act on emotions instead of actual law or protocol 2. Killing her didn't make the officer safer, now he was being approached by an effectively driverless vehicle. 3. If you put yourself infront of the car for fuck all reason that is your fault, especially as a "LEO" you should know better, but I guess that is what you get when you employ power hungry people with 0 training.
- lateforwork 8mo agoSee here, ICE chasing an American citizen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6UWUXkzQVA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6UWUXkzQVA
- chomp 8mo agoThey flashbanged a family of American citizens and put a baby in the hospital
- beej71 8mo agoBecause if an ICE agent violates your constitutional rights, you have zero recourse. There is no freedom. If you're not afraid of that, you got your head in the sand.
