#Trump admin officials claimed that the officer who shot #ReneeGood had been under attack & was acting in self-defense, & #state investigators have been blocked from accessing #evidence related to the case.

After a 2nd resident was killed — #AlexPretti, a #VeteransAffairs #nurse who was also 37 — #federal officials initially appeared to use the same playbook.

The handling of potentially #criminal actions by #FederalAgents has become a major issue in #Minneapolis after 2 protesters, both US citizens, were killed there this month by #DHS “officers”.

The #FBI said it would NOT investigate the first killing, of #ReneeGood, a 37-yr-old mother of 3. She was killed in her SUV on Jan 7 as she appeared to be steering away from federal agents during a tense confrontation.

The organization, which is called the Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach, will also include Mary Moriarty, the elected prosecutor in #Minneapolis. Its acronym, #FAFO, references a slang term for negative consequences, & its formation was spurred by “growing concerns about warrantless entries, unlawful detentions, & coercive enforcement tactics by federal agents,” acc/to a news release.

#DHS posted on Instagram, "We'll have our home again."

That's the name of a song by #WhiteNationalists allied with the #ProudBoys.

DHS said it was a coincidence.

The NYT informed DHS the song was in the background of the post.

DHS deleted the post.

“This is the hallmark of a regime that does not investigate its violence, but celebrates it. By reflexively defending these shooters before the blood is dry, the administration is signaling a new American reality: that its agents may now kill with impunity, and that the state will have their back.”

In Trump's 'Dual State,' Dissenters Face Extrajudicial Executions, Loyalists Enjoy Protections

America's system of justice has fundamentally broken because the regime believes it can justify attacks on citizens via lies rather than in a court of law

"Joan Brugge has worked for nearly 50 years as a cancer scientist, studying the earliest signs that someone might become sick. Then the Trump administration canceled her lab’s funding. The administration’s attacks on medicine, culture, and education—which include funding cuts and verbal threats—are about more than just budgeting and bravado. Our host, Anne Applebaum, speaks with Ruth Ben-Ghiat"
