@realDailyTrite @EdKrassen @MaileOnX He literally brought a vehicle at 3000 pound weapon… Noticed the flag on the back of the car? This is not the first time liberal protesters have had a Trump flag bearing car drive into them a couple of times even through barricades meant to keep cars out

BREAKING: During an ICE protest at Fremont High School in Fremont, Nebraska, a student was severely injured when a vehicle driven by a Trump supporter hit into her and drove off.
Does anyone know who this Trump supporter who partook in this violent hit and run is?
Let’s get his name! Please share!

@PeteSikora1 @BrittanyinTexas @X Maybe dial back a bit? Poster didn’t claim it was real (which it clearly wasnt) poster shared because it made her laugh. Have a good day friend!

@USA_Polling 25% of total arrests by ICE have been in Texas. Texas actually cooperates with ICE

@Karl15118887371 @beyoncegarden Unfortunately it is about them as a person if you don’t leave at least an 8.5% tip then they are paying to serve you because that is what they get taxed at
English

How is this "tipping culture" a thing.. I saw so many videos of "people" crashing out because they did not get a dollar or two.. Leaving notes with delivery or spitting on food and so.. wtf is that shit.. DO YOUR JOB BTISCH.. IF I DECIDE DELIVERY WAS WORTH IT.. I'LL TIP. ITS NOT ABOUT YOU AS A PERSON!

Personal opinion on the Minneapolis shooting based on additional footage:
From what has been released so far, it appears federal agents shot Alex Pretti who had already been disarmed.
The situation seems to have escalated after a federal agent shoved a woman far more aggressively than necessary, immediately creating a hostile environment.
Alex Pretti appeared calm initially, but once he was confronted by agents, a physical scuffle began.
During that scuffle, agents realized Pretti had a firearm.
One agent appears to grab the gun and walk off with it, and someone can be heard yelling “gun.”
Almost immediately after that, an agent fired.
In the chaos that followed, the other agents also began shooting, seemingly believing the initial gunshot came from Pretti.
This interpretation is reinforced by footage afterward in which one of the agents is heard asking, “Where is the gun?”
That suggests confusion in the moment about who actually fired.
I do have sympathy for the agents in the sense that this all unfolded extremely fast, but overall this situation appears preventable.
In no way do I think this was a public execution as some have claimed, but a chaotic situation that turned deadly once again in Minneapolis.
I’ve seen some people say he had a loaded gun, so it’s his fault, but that is not true.
We now know Pretti was legally carrying a concealed firearm, and he had the right to do that.
If the weapon had been illegal, that would obviously change the analysis, but that is not what the facts indicate.
I do not see Pretti reach for his gun in the footage available.
After the first shot, some may argue that his movements look suspicious once people backed off, but it seems far more likely he was reacting to being shot rather than attempting to draw a weapon.
Federal agencies involved in deportation operations need to leave Minneapolis for the time being.
While I am broadly open to many aspects of deportation enforcement, what has occurred in Minneapolis has been a failure.
The way this is being handled is putting people’s lives in constant danger, and it needs to stop.
The Renee Good situation had a lot of nuance based on the video footage.
This one doesn’t seem to have as much.
I personally believe an American citizen died who did not need to.
The only evidence that could change my view would be body camera footage or a clear alternate angle showing that Mr. Pretti was attempting to grab his gun or that the first shot came from him.
At this point, that footage does not appear to exist, but will wait and see if anything else comes out.
As always, I’m open to disagreements.
Let me know your thoughts below👇

@EndTribalism Thank you for the tremendously clean opinion I’ve been struggling with how to post the same

@AmeriFirstMC @melsner73 @Vynestra @SawyerHackett @DarnelSugarfoo Straw man. Attacking the person instead of the argument is very saddening. You have no intention of discourse and only want to troll. :(. Buh-bye
English

@AmeriFirstMC @melsner73 @Vynestra @SawyerHackett @DarnelSugarfoo Go read federalist papers 29 and 43. Then reread the first through fourth amendments
No I am 100% not paranoid I am exactly in line with what the founders of our country envisioned.
English

@peterjwacks @melsner73 @Vynestra @SawyerHackett @DarnelSugarfoo Paranoid much?
I have no concerns. They are coming for illegal invaders.
If those you support were in power, there would be concern. They've already proven that.

"First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Communist. / Then they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist. / Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a trade unionist. / Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew. / Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me".

A large percentage (around 73% in late 2025) of individuals booked into ICE detention have no criminal convictions, with many having pending immigration cases or no charges at all. If you get caught in a sweep at the courthouse meaning you’re showing up for your case legally in the process of immigration the fact that they arrest you causes what’s called an immigration violation and automatically switches your status..
This stuff is easily available on the ice website and government website websites

@ChrisMurphyCT They don’t arrest legal immigrants. They arrest illegal immigrants.

U.S. District Judge William G. Young, a Reagan appointee, ruled in September 2025 that officials, including Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, violated the First Amendment rights of noncitizen students and professors by targeting them for deportation based on their pro-Palestinian speech and activism. The judge found evidence that officials intentionally acted together to suppress freedom of speech and assembly, labeling it an "unconstitutional conspiracy". The ruling followed the arrests and detention of activists by masked agents, which the judge criticized. In January 2026, Judge Young referred to the Secretary of State's involvement in a First Amendment violation of this nature as unprecedented.

@JDVance @JimWise111 It’s simple math:
A year ago an infraction that would have gotten three points on a license… Just got three bullets in the head
Go Red or be made dead. We are very sorry for having had different opinions than you faithful leader we understand your math now.

This is an extremely important point: you're only seeing chaotic ICE raids in blue sanctuary cities where local officials are fighting against federal law enforcement.
The chaos is created by "leaders" who would rather promote rioting in their streets than follow the law.
Inez Stepman ⚪️🔴⚪️@InezFeltscher
A point that isn’t hammered hard enough by ICE and admin spox imo is that these dangerous raids - in more ways than one - happen BECAUSE of sanctuary city/state policies. In red states following our immigration laws, most of these people are getting picked up at the courthouse or jail.

A 2025 report from Senator Jon Ossoff identified 510 credible reports of human rights abuse since early 2025, including 41 reports of physical and sexual abuse.
Mind you.. that’s a small number compared to the actual number that hasn’t gotten reported yet bc getting access to MOST of these detention centers is refused even for those who are SUPPOSED to be oversight for this very thing.
The numbers from his reports are from CERTAIN not ALL facilities in FL, Tx, and GA.
This is not even where the heaviest ICE presence has been.
English

NEW: After a tense standoff with armed agents, Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison were blocked from entering the ICE HQ in Minnesota.
This is explicitly against a court ruling that officials must let lawmakers conduct such oversight visits.

@NeverTr74704466 @KarenFullerton2 @nicoleMfoy You have to think about correlating #s -great article you linked but ICE went from 38k arrests on warrants (1/100 public) non-border deportations to 1.5M with random stops on the interior. 130x auto incidents but 390x exposure. Data logic actually does not support the article
English

Been thinking quite a lot this week about one of the very first cases I tracked of ICE detaining a U.S. citizen
A year ago, ICE agents detained a 20 YO they said swerved his car at them
But local Utah police checked security footage. And it wasn’t true ksltv.com/local-news/uni…
