BREAKING: ICE murders another person in Minneapolis
It was a point-blank execution
A gang of federal agents executed a man they had apprehended on the street in Minneapolis on Saturday morning.
A video taken from across the street captured the grisly murder, which followed a group beating by no fewer than nine masked Border Patrol agents. According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, multiple agents fired at the man. Protestors and the Minnesota State Patrol have descended upon 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, in South Minneapolis, as tensions continue to grow.
Below is a video of the shooting; it is disturbing, though not graphic, and I’m including it because it is impotant for the actual event to be seen before the Trump administration and right-wing media can lie about what happened.
This is the second person that federal immigration agents have murdered this month in Minneapolis. ICE agents shot and killed Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother who was attempting drive away from a verbal conflict, earlier this month, setting off weeks of intense protests in both the Twin Cities and nationwide.
The Star-Tribune reported that ICE agents attempted to order local Minneapolis police from the scene of the crime, but the city’s chief instructed his officers to stay and preserve evidence.
This is the third person shot by federal agents in Minneapolis this month; an unarmed Venezuelan man was shot in the leg by ICE during an altercation. On Friday, more than 50,000 people marched in the city’s streets, while hundreds of businesses shut down, to voice opposition to the ongoing occupation.
Note: The far-right’s fascist takeover of this country is being aided by the media’s total capitulation to Trump’s extortion. It’s never been more critical to have a bold independent media willing to speak up against the powerful. That’s what I’m trying to do here at Progress Report.

ICE will be demonized for generations for their cowardice and brutality.
It does not take 9 men to subdue one. From the start, it looked more like and "attitude adjustment", with one man hitting him repeatedly while others were holding him.
But ICE gestapo are also pussies. I would verify *everything* that is stated by these murderers, in particular the gun that he never "brandished", since that is also the type of gun that those thugs carry. Could it be a dropped gun to justify the murder?
If not, our friends who support the 2nd Amendment and tend to vote to the right can now reach the conclusion that nope, being a supporter of the Second amendment and possessing a legal gun can also make you a target. You no longer have to be a gay woman or a dark skinned immigrant.
These thugs disregard the 1st, 2nd, (maybe the third if they forced hotels to house the thugs), the 4th amendment daily, every time they touch a protester or throw chemicals or rubber bullets, the 5th Amendment on due process, The 6th Amendment in having the right to a lawyer, the 8th on cruel and unusual punishment, the 10th amendment on States Rights (The 10th Amendment simply says that any powers not given to the federal government, nor forbidden to the states, BELONG TO THE STATES OR THE PEOPLE)
Indeed, those Right leaning folks believe in States Rights. Well,, where are they today? These thugs believed in States rights only when it allowed them to maintain slavery.
