If #TomHolman said #ICE agents were "deployed in theatre", is removing 700 a retreat? Or maybe a "strategic withdrawal"? #Minnesota #Minniapolis

"White House press secretary attacks Northern Irish journalist

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, angrily attacked a Northern Irish journalist. She accused him of being a 'left-wing activist' earlier this week — after calling out the actions of ICE agents.

Leavitt went for Niall Stanage, who is an associate editor of The Hill.

She lashed out after he questioned the motives of ICE agent Jonathan David Ross. He shot and killed Renee Good on January 7 in Minneapolis.

Since the murder, instead of investigating the killer agent, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is targeting Good’s widow and trying to find links between her and groups that have previously protested ICE. As a result, at least six DOJ prosecutors have resigned.

JD Vance and other government officials have smeared Good as a 'domestic terrorist'. This is despite footage from the incident clearly showing her driving away from the ICE agents, not towards them.

‘Left-wing activists’

During the White House press briefing, Stanage mentioned previous comments by Kristi Noem, Homeland Security secretary. She said that ICE had 'done everything correctly'.

He asked:

'32 people died in ICE custody last year. 170 US citizens were detained by ICE, and Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly?'

Leavitt responded with:

'Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?'

Stanage said in response:

'Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably."

Leavitt then went on to rant at the journalist, calling him a left-wing activist, not a reporter. She added:

'You shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat but you’re pretending you’re a journalist, but you’re a left-wing activist.'

I’m guessing she’d call for all the biased right-wing reporters to be removed, too, then?

What Leavitt and the whole of MAGA don’t want us to know is that Renee Good had a long history of youth outreach, community work, and artistic pursuits. She was a poet and a guitarist, a mum and had three children under the age of 16 — not a domestic terrorist. She was simply attempting to get away from a violent, murderous ICE agent thug.

But of course, Trump, Vance, Leavitt and Noem want to paint her as the bad guy — and any journalist willing to point that out now has a target on their backs."

ICE, Trump's fascist militia is mutating into a paramilitary juggernaut

ICE is no longer just immigration enforcement. Under Trump, it’s arming up, training like special forces, and preparing for war at home

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal agents carrying out immigration arrests in Minnesota’s Twin Cities region already shaken by the fatal shooting of a woman rammed the door of one home Sunday and pushed their way inside, part of what the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest enforcement operation ever.

Minneapolis mayor wants broader investigation into Renee Good's shooting

Two of Minnesota’s leading Democrats say the investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by a federal immigration officer shouldn’t be handled solely by the federal government. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and U.S. Sen. Tina Smith said in separate interviews Sunday that state investigators need to be included in the investigation. Both say a broader investigation is needed because the Trump administration already has made it clear that they believe the officer who shot Renee Good in her car was protecting himself and fellow agents. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is dismissing the complaints about local agencies being denied any participation in the investigation.
