"Why Minnesota? Yes, of course, the horrific murder of George Floyd. Yes, of course, the horrific murder of Renee Good and the fact that both of those vile incidents were caught on camera and it was absolutely visceral. But it's also, from my point of view, that Minnesota represents the ultimate repudiation of the white nationalist narrative."

“'I’m embarrassed,' one former ICE agent with more than 25 years of experience told TIME. "The majority of my colleagues feel the same way. It’s an insult to us, because we did it the right way to see what they’re doing now.'”

"Behind the scenes, current and former ICE agents have expressed concerns about [Jonathan Ross'] conduct, about the agency’s operations in Minneapolis, and about a broader push by the Trump administration to aggressively recruit more agents."

“'You’re going to lose your eye,' federal agents reportedly mocked [Kaden Rummler in Santa Ana, California] as he lay bleeding on the ground. ...
This all took place, I must remind you, less than a week after Jonathan Ross riddled Renee Nicole Good’s face with three bullets."

"A federal officer has shot a man in the leg during an enforcement operation in north Minneapolis, sparking protests in a city still on edge after the killing of Renee Nicole Good by a federal agent last week. ...
Multiple sources in networks of legal aid and mutual aid groups said they believed a pregnant woman needing medical attention was not able to get access to a physician."

"In multiple confrontations in the Minneapolis area, agents repeatedly referred to civilians learning their lesson — in an apparent nod to the use of deadly force in Ross’s killing. In a video posted to Reddit, a masked ICE agent can be heard repeatedly admonishing a driver to 'go home to your kids.' ...
'You did not learn from what just happened?' the ICE agent asks. 'Go home to your kids.'”

"Amid heated protests in Minneapolis following the killing of Renee Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross, federal agents have repeatedly invoked Good’s death to threaten the lives of observers and demonstrators in Minnesota."

"It's a state in which people of color are not the numerical majority, but they have profound and important positions of leadership in city, state, federal government, in the business community. They're thriving. And that's true, both people of color who are immigrants and Native Americans, very, very strong and powerful force. And you the white nationalist narrative can't have that.:

"Now they have turned the eye of Sauron even on white women, because these white women are like, I'm going to use my privilege to speak back to the police like Renee Nicole Good did. And they're like, OK, we'll shoot you in the face in order to shut white America down. That's what it feels like to me. They want white America to know if you side with these brown and black immigrants, we're coming for you, too."

"When ICE is on the rampage, crowds of brave Americans, summoned by texts and whistles, quickly gather to stand against the masked men with guns. As the outrage grows, people of common decency — like the federal prosecutors in Minnesota who chose to resign rather than pervert justice by going after Renee Nicole Good’s wife — are taking a stand.
So what’s happening now is both horrifying and inspiring."

"The assault on freedom and civil liberties is open, lurid, and impossible to deny. While our institutions and our elites have failed us, ordinary Americans are rising to the occasion. If Minneapolis is a laboratory of democratic destruction, it has also become a laboratory of civil resistance — organized civil resistance, of a kind we haven’t seen since the civil rights movement."

Let’s also hear them admit this isn’t just a Trump problem."
