DOJ Prosecutors Somehow Manage To Secure Terrorism Convictions Against Anti-ICE Protesters
Riley S. FaelanOne of the weirdest things about Russia's relations with European far right is, while "great replacement" is, in general terms, nonsense, USSR's history genuinely include some episodes that resemble the GR narratives. They were usually euphemised as "ethnicity / nationality policy", and they involved #massdeportations, especially deporting people from the Soviet-occupied countries in Europe to the east of Urals, and counterwise, mass transfers of people who may have had other, more specific, ethnicities before but who got described, and sometimes self-identified, as Russophone after the fact, in the reverse directions. American fans of "great replacement" don't seem to be very aware of them, but European near-Nazis bring these things up as "examples of the great replacement being real" with annoying regularity.
This pattern is a significant part of the reason why several areas of Ukraine were dominated by Russophone and sometimes Russian-identifying citizens of Ukraine: these areas contain large mineral deposits, so extraction and industrial facilities were built there, and Stalin & co transferred large numbers of people from other places controlled by USSR to work in these facilities.
A somewhat similar large-scale transfer was arranged by Putin for shipping large numbers of supposedly loyal Russians to Crimea after Russia occupied it.
These transfers are not the whole reason, though. Another part of the puzzle is, in times of (relative) relational calmness between the countries, there's oftentimes functionally been a linguistic and, to some degree, cultural, slope between East Ukrainian people and West Russian people. Numerous people have even had two names, one in Ukrainian, one in Russian. For just one example, the Ukrainian spacenautics expert behind the original Sputnik moment, Serhiy Korolyov (Сергій Корольов) often figured as "Sergey Korolev" (Сергей Королёв or Королев) in Russian, and because of the Russian supremacism of USSR, Soviet, documents.
OTOH, when things get ... let's say, not quite so calm, people's need to get off the slope and define themselves as one or the other tends to suddenly go sharply up, and one of the curious outcome of the last of these waves (there have been several between Ukraine and Russia over the centuries) is, there's now a large number of families who live, or used to live, near the border, where some people self-ID as Ukrainian, and some, as Russian. In other words, in the border areas, many Ukrainian people now have Russian relatives, and vice versa. Such families are rarer in West Ukraine, which, in turn, contributed to the relatively lower prevalence of people who consider themselves Russian in the West Ukraine than in the East even before the latest active phase of Russia's 2014 war on Ukraine.

House report accuses Trump administration of cover-up in Good, Pretti killings
Both Minneapolis residents’ shooting deaths were the “direct result of the rapid and intentional escalation of violence” by DHS officers in service of Trump’s mass deportation plans, the report says.

House Oversight Committee Democrats released a report on Tuesday blaming the Trump administration’s “extreme” law enforcement for the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and accusing the federal government of a “cover-up” by obstructing impartial investigations into their deaths.
The report, released by Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., the highest-ranking Democrat on the panel, said that the administration’s “extreme policies, violent tactics, and culture of impunity” led to the fatal shooting of the two Minneapolis residents by Department of Homeland Security officers last month.

The report specifically points to efforts to obscure the identities of Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and agents, including wearing masks, which administration officials have said is necessary to protect their safety.
“Let’s be clear: the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti could have been prevented, and they should both still be alive,” Garcia said in a press release announcing the findings of the report. “President Trump, Kristi Noem, and DHS have lied over and over again and are now trying to cover up the truth. The Trump Administration needs to be held accountable.”
Trump’s ICE enforcement ‘backfiring,’ spurring protests and organizing nationwide, February 3, 2026.
The report also calls out Vice President JD Vance and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who “have incorrectly assured agents that they have ‘absolute immunity’ from criminal prosecution.” Vance has since walked back his claim, saying officers would be disciplined for violating policies.
The administration, the report said, is trying to cover up misconduct by “impeding thorough and impartial investigations into the shootings.”
The Justice Department last week announced it is pursuing a civil rights probe into Pretti’s killing on Jan. 24 by Border Patrol officers, after initially leaving it up to DHS to conduct its own investigations, as MS NOW reported.
The DOJ has maintained that it will not do the same for Good’s death. Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot and killed by an ICE officer on Jan. 7.
The reversal is one of several changes that the Trump administration has made in its hardline approach to immigration enforcement after the fatal shootings of Pretti and Good, which sparked nationwide protests.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also said Monday that all officers will be outfitted with body cameras in Minneapolis, and as funding allows, nationwide.

Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday dismissed the rollout of body cameras as “damage control” and urged Minnesotans to continue documenting federal officers’ conduct.
“Keep filming. Keep keeping track of this,” he said at a news conference. “Keep accountability.”
Bystander footage of both shootings has been crucial to showing how Good’s and Pretti’s encounters with federal officers ended with their death. Videos of both incidents have also contradicted the Trump administration’s account of events.
Good and Pretti’s families have strongly denounced the federal immigration operation in Minneapolis. Good’s brother, Luke Ganger, told reporters on Tuesday that his family initially “took some consolation thinking that perhaps Renee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”
‘The completely surreal scenes taking place on the streets of Minneapolis are beyond explanation,” he said. “This is not just a bad day or a rough week or isolated incidents. These encounters with federal agents are changing the community and changing many lives — including ours — forever.”
