"My answer to that question is easy: no, it's worse. Not since the pandemic has my daily life been ruptured in such a frightening and surreal fashion. Then, at least, there was a semblance of the country being united. Morons who rallied against masks and vaccines aside, most Americans could at least agree that the world would be a better place if Covid-19 didn't exist."
"Unfortunately, their obvious incompetence and buffoonery does not make them less dangerous. The killing of Renee Good was bad enough, but the blatant lies DHS Secretary Kristi Noem spun about the incident - and the FBI's refusal to share evidence that would allow the state of Minnesota to investigate the death of one of its own citizens - made it clear, to both sides, that ICE would face no consequences for anything they did, at least not while Trump is in the White House."
An ongoing occupation by over 3,000 ICE agents has entered its third week in Minneapolis, disrupting daily life and provoking widespread alarm. The occupation is described as a hostile, heavily armed, masked police presence that appears politically motivated and backed by federal authorities. The killing of Renee Good, misleading statements by DHS leadership, and the FBI's refusal to share investigative evidence have created a sense of impunity. Reports describe undertrained agents who conceal identities and operate with aggressive tactics. Community routines, public safety perceptions, and trust in federal institutions have been deeply damaged.
