Minneapolis has shown me that even in the middle of grief and fear, people still show up for each other. For that, I want to say thank you. Thank you to this incredible community for showing up again and again - organizing food and rides, making sure our kids get to school, checking in on neighbors, and standing together in the cold. I am so proud to call Minneapolis my home.
Honestly, I don't see any way we can safely present this show in the current climate, I'm not sure any amount of security or preplanning would mitigate the liability I'd face if something happened.
Newsmax host Greg Kelly on Monday held his phone as if it were a gun to make the argument that the ICE agents who shot and killed Alex Pretti were simply mistaken. Pretti, 37, was killed Saturday in Minneapolis during an altercation with several agents. Throughout the ordeal, Pretti held his phone in his right hand to record them. He was then taken to the ground before one of the officers suddenly opened fire.
We in the rest of the world have had to hear a lot such a lot about what this US government and its hardcore fanbase thinks about us. So you know they'll be super-relaxed and free-speechy about hearing some thoughts about how they look from the outside. Let's use last Saturday as a single snapshot. In Minneapolis, they had the shooting by ICE agents of a protesting nurse who posed no threat an event promptly, provably and blatantly lied about at the highest level.
I've gotta tell you, I've watched that videotape for at least about let's say, a hundred times because I knew I was going to be coming on with you, Williams told Fox News anchor Jon Scott. And I wanted to speak as accurate as I canAnd I do believe that there needs to be a complete investigation. I was taken aback by the White House who initially put out what I defined as misrepresentation of what took place there when you look at the video.
A total of 10 gunshots rang out from the ICE officers, leaving Pretti lying supine and motionless in the middle of the street. He was declared dead at the scene. Video of the incident appeared to contradict the Department of Homeland Security narrative that Pretti approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, and that the officers were forced to shoot in self-defense.
After the shooting, bystanders gathered and screamed profanities at federal officers, calling them "cowards" and telling them to go home. One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: "Boo hoo." Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car. On Friday, thousands of demonstrators protesting against the crackdown on immigrants crowded the city's streets in sub-zero temperatures, calling for federal law enforcement to leave.
A federal magistrate judge rejected that warrant, noting that Good was already dead and could not be considered a suspect for a warrant. It was widely reported that the Justice Department chose not to investigate the ICE officer who shot and killed Good, but the details about how top Justice officials directed the altering of the investigation and search warrant and how it was rejected as weak by a federal judge have not been previously reported.
The four bullets Renee Good took from the gun fired by Minnesota ICE officer Jonathan Ross hit her once each in the arm, breast and head, while a fourth grazed her body, her family said in releasing partial results of an independent autopsy on the slain mother of three. A highly respected and credentialed medical pathologist performed the procedure, said
Some CBS News employees expressed concern after the network cited two anonymous US officials on Wednesday to report that the ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis suffered internal bleeding to the torso after the incident. CBS initially published the account about officer Jonathan Ross on X, formerly Twitter. About 30 minutes later, the network followed up with another post, containing a link to an article by two correspondents that similarly cited two US officials briefed on his medical condition.
My instinctual reaction to the media convicting someone before an investigation has begun let alone a trial and a determination by a court and/or jury is to be very open to the possibility that the accused is innocent, Ackman continued. When the tragic Ross/Good case blew up on X, I did not do any due diligence on the case other than quickly reviewing the handful of videos that were circulating online, he continued.
Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) began investigating whether Becca Good, the widow of a queer woman killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent last week, had any criminal associations or ties to anti-government groups. The current presidential administration has repeatedly tried to portray Renee Good, the woman killed by an ICE agent, as a "domestic terrorist" who was part of a "sinister left-wing movement" that criminally sought to interfere with ICE's actions.
The death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother and U.S. citizen who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, has the potential to shake the political landscape in ways reminiscent of George Floyd's killing in 2020. The Trump administration initially claimed Good weaponized her vehicle in an act of domestic terrorism, an account that appears to be contradicted by video evidence.
When the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis happened on Wednesday morning, MS NOW correspondent Alex Tabet was already on the ground documenting local protests against a fresh push of federal immigration raids in Minnesota. The shooting, which left the 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three dead, became an immediate and national political firestorm for control of the narrative.
We look at the protesters in Iran, and they are patriots; they are people who are trying to overthrow a repressive regime, Trent said. Here, if you have protesters, they should be shot in the face, and anybody that does should have absolute immunity. Trent added, So, what's funny to me is, when is violence, when is protest, when is this all acceptable?
But Stephen A. Smith goes off and talks about sh*t that he has no idea about. Lemon said Smith routinely comments on events and people he has no facts about. He just gets on these like White boy, right-wing podcasts or his own show and just goes off about Black people and things that for which he has no clue, Lemon continued.
The cause of this wholesale destruction is, of course, Trump himself, who has ruined America with his "staff of wannabees, people with no experience or talent, closet alcoholic wife beaters [sic], inexperienced leaders who only know how to lie to keep favor with the Trump falseness...," Young contends. The legend musician goes on to ponder as to how exactly we elected "these creeps who have no spine, no values, no conscience, no way to save the USA."
Freedom is not arresting people without warrants. We have a system here, it's called a Constitution. And we have a party, the Republicans. Who don't seem to want to abide by the Constitution. January 6 is a prime example of that. And now they're all free, and they're in charge. You know what? Maybe it's time for Jesse I only did one term I'm owed a second, Ventura told reporters in Minnesota this week. Ventura called the Republican Party a domestic enemy of the Constitution and referred to President Donald Trump as a draft-dodging coward.
