The posts have referred to neo-#Nazi literature, ethnic cleansing and QAnon conspiracies, mused about deporting nearly a third of the #US population, and promoted lyrics from an anthem bellowed by the far-right militants of the Proud Boys.

Their authors are not on society’s fringe. They are in the offices of the White House and the departments of Homeland Security and Labor, using official government accounts.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said it had joined #Minnesota state officials in filing a federal lawsuit on Saturday night “seeking to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.”

John Mitnick, who once was the head attorney at the #DHS in the first #Trump administration, criticized his former agency on Saturday night. “I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty,” he wrote on social media.

No work, no shopping, no dining out. Hundreds of businesses across #Minnesota are expected to close and many people are vowing to pause everyday activities on Friday as part of a #GeneralStrike against the #Trump administration’s #immigration crackdown.

As tensions mount and a sense of fear of detention by immigration agents permeates the state, vendors, #LaborUnions and residents are set to participate in an economic blackout and gather at prayers and #protests on what organizers called a “Day of Truth and Freedom.”

US federal forces blind two protesters shot in face with ‘less-lethal’ munitions
Kaden Rummler and Britain Rodriguez tell KTLA and LA Times of being shot at close range during California protest

Two protesters have been blinded by so-called “less-lethal” munitions deployed by federal officers during an anti- #ICE #protest last week in Santa Ana, California, according to reports.

Widely seen video recorded at the Santa Ana protest showed a homeland security agent shoot Kaden Rummler, 21, in the face with a less-lethal munition at a distance of only a few feet. Doctors found glass shards and plastic fragments in his skull and a fragment of metal lodged just shy of his carotid artery.

Like many Americans, I had watched the video of the killing of #ReneeGood by an #ICE officer on a residential street in #Minneapolis with horror and sorrow. From afar, this tragic and possibly criminal act of violence could plausibly be seen as incidental to President Trump’s mission to deport #undocumented people from the country. But when I landed in Minneapolis on Monday and saw the size, scope and lawlessness of the federal onslaught unfolding here, I understood that Good’s killing was emblematic of its true mission: to stage a spectacle of cruelty upon a city that stands in stark defiance against #Trump’s dark vision of America.
