ICE: "This is your only warning, we will break your window and pull you out."

This should be passed as law in all states.

Well, we are in need of serious legal reform, of which there are all kinds of suggestions up to abolishment.

The Senator from Massachusetts is of the opinion "hell no, not another penny, until it is brought under control", meaning by legal reforms to the department.

My view is such that I don't usually think of all states, I would say it is up to Minnesota what goes on in Minnesota, to which, I am an outsider, in the position of deciding whether or not I want to unify with their decisions. We have a lateral bond consisting of agriculture and human beings, at a minimum. We complain of the same vertical bond from DC, which itself produces nothing and has nothing to do with my interest in the integrity of Minnesota.


Among the numerous reactions frothing up, it has been said that ICE "were trained to act like Israelis". But that is an understatement. These are people who already want to do this. They seek a career in the application of force. This is not some kind of special request to them. It's an opportunity.


They have granted themselves free rein to mess with anyone on the street, in their car, or in their house.

When it comes to these shootings, it must be obvious they were exterminations. My Sheriff would tell me that this last guy who had a gun should have used it to protect himself.

He can say that because the Deputies know how to act professionally by stopping and identifying themselves and not giving you any reason to jump in defensive mode. The federal group is far to the opposite.

In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

BREAKING: Pam Bondi issues horrifying ultimatum to Minnesota: hand over your voter rolls or ICE’s rampage will continue!

In a shocking admission that ICE is being used a political extortion tool rather than any actual “law enforcement” operation, Pam Bondi wrote a letter to Minnesota demanding they be given access to voter rolls, or the killing continues.

“Allow the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice to access voter rolls to confirm that Minnesota’s voter registration practices comply with federal law as authorized by the Civil Rights Act of 1960. Fulfilling this common sense request will better guarantee free and fair elections and boost confidence in the rule of law,” writes Bondi.

“I am confident that these simple steps will help bring back law and order to Minnesota and improve the lives of Americans.”

This is a horrifying glimpse into how the Trump administration is going to try to steal future elections.
They are deliberately deploying their lawless paramilitary goon squads to kill and terrorize the American people in order to extort control of key election infrastructure from blue states, which they will surely use to try to steal future elections and usher in a fascist dictatorship.

Sen. Chris Murphy sounded the alarm in a video he posted shortly after getting this stunning news.
“This is likely about trying to rig and steal the election. Donald Trump is wildly unpopular. He's not committed to democracy. And he knows the only way that his movement is to retain power, the only way that his corporate allies retain power, his billionaire allies retain power this November is for Trump to steal the election,” said Murphy.

“And so he's saying to Minneapolis, if you don't give me control of the voter rolls, then ICE isn't leaving. And you can see that if he gets away with it in Minnesota, He's likely going to try it in places like Philadelphia and Phoenix, other key cities in swing states.

So understand why it's so important for us to draw a line. “

There’s still time for Democrats to act. The appropriations bill for DHS has not yet passed the Senate. Democrats need to hold firm, not give these psychos another CENT, and begin taking action to geld ICE’s power as soon as we retake the majority in November.

Our democracy is under direct attack by Trump’s fascist mafia.

🚨JUST IN: Minnesota Sec. of State Steve Simon just told Pam Bondi: No.

DOJ demanded PRIVATE voter data on millions of Americans, including Social Security + driver’s license info, with no claim that Minnesota did anything wrong.

Minnesota offered only what’s already public. DOJ refused.

Simon says this request is already in active litigation, and 31 states have said no to it.

This is a shakedown for your data so Palantir can build a more centralized technology to spy on American Citizens.

Apologies for the late follow-up, I was busy doing some last-minute preparations for an ice storm (the weather, not the law enforcement!).

The video I have is a download. I'm not sure how to upload downloaded videos here? If it isn't possible, I'll try to dig up the original source.

In any case, I'm sure by now more angles of this have appeared all over the internet. Regardless, I'd like to upload the one I was discussing.

Tam, a video can only be embedded or linked to in a post if it's already on a server. But if you email it to me at bill@projectavalon.net (by WeTransfer.com if it's larger than an email attachment) we can easily add it to the Avalon library and let you know the link.

Bill/Tam: thanks for the heads-up on the Alex Pretti anti-ICE protest shooting, and to Tam for providing it, now uploaded to the library, here: https://avalonlibrary.net/2026-01-24...inneapolis.mp4

Judge Napolitano opened his weekly video update with Alastair Crooke with this question:

Is there any noticeable international reaction that you are able to glean to these police murders in Minneapolis in the name of removing undocumented immigrants from the country?

Alastair Crooke, a former diplomat, is very well-connected internationally. His reply was fascinating and important. (The bold emphases below are my own additions.)

Oh, certainly. It's being followed very carefully around the world, and they're trying to understand and read into it what it is going to mean. The reaction to it is that the American state is fragmenting and coming apart, and in its fragmentation it is becoming increasingly violent to its own people.

This is a polarization which suggests in this coming period that there will be no real consensus in the United States about the next steps, economic, political, social, that it's going to become much more a disputatious, fractionalized, polarized society.

And people are worried about that concern for America, concern for what it means for themselves and their countries: unpredictability and increasing anxiety about what that is going to mean and also fear that some decision will be taken out of this chaos that might have huge geopolitical consequences and turn everything upside down.

The most recent tragic death of Alex Pretti, I read the Zerohedge releases & actually I find these people to be very astute, they offer a very different analysis to most of the left/right press -you may disagree- but this Alex character was not simply an innocent bystander, a veteran ICU nurse, he belonged to a highly organized well funded anti-ICE group (Soros is of course implicated), this is not a grass roots organic reaction - I actually think ICE are trying to fulfill their task. Scott Ritter & Judge Nap have recent fully turned on Trump, claim he is working beyond the constitutional republic's laws, that he considers himself beyond the law because he says he uses his own moral compass: Unfair!
We do not have multiple extra judicial executions do we, these recent killings are from people getting in the way of federal law officers, fully armed & picked for the job, they often have to work with some very ugly human beings, they are not there to process complex political sensibilities, they are assigned to apprehend psychopathic, ruthless people - who claims there is no true law work being done...Alistair Hoity toity Crooke? Well who **** is he, just another ex-diplomat trading on his mystique & educated accent for appearance fees on YouTube?
I personally do not see this as being a major breakdown, it is a sustained democrat project, they are without shame, they hate that they lost to Trump so completely, yes there are concerns with the excesses of Trump's geo-political actions, in fact the world is in a critical state, but I am not yet ready to call America as being in the state Scott & the judge claim.
Colonel Macgregor agrees with me, just saying.

🚨🚨🚨 MINNEAPOLIS: ICE SHOOTS FEMALE PROTESTER, RIPS OFF PART OF HER HAND WITH SUPPOSED "NON-LETHAL" MUNITIONS

Trump Admin seem determined to engineer civil unrest in Minneapolis. It’s now clear that orders have been given by White House to increase ICE aggression. Now we have a woman seriously injured ICE Gestapo paramilitary squad, after she’s shot, you can hear screams “MEDIC, MEDIC” while running, notice her bloody hand, partially shredded by violent ICE thugs. This is Fascism, pure and simple. Disgusting…

🚨 Private jet crashed in Maine belonged to top anti-ICE / anti-Trump lawyers who defended illegal aliens; all passengers presumed dead.

Here's what we know:

- A 2020 Bombardier CL-600 Challenger belonging to KTKJ Challenger LLC crashed on takeoff last night at Bangor International Airport @ 7:45 amid heavy snow.

- Booms could be heard throughout the area and a reported eight travelers are presumed dead.

- The LLC is registered to Jason Itkin and Kurt Arnold, two trial attorneys who've made waves fighting conservatives in Texas and defending illegal aliens. It is not known whether Itkin and Arnold were on board or why they were in Maine.

- The Texas Voice has reported: "Along with George Soros and other personal injury trial lawyers, both the Arnold & Itkin and Abraham Watkins law firms were major donors to the left-wing First Tuesday PAC during the 2024 election cycle... First Tuesday was responsible for a multi-million dollar ad campaign that encouraged voters to “Stop MAGA Republicans” and “Vote For Every Democrat.” The Arnold & Itkin and Abraham Watkins law firms each donated $300,000 to First Tuesday in support of their efforts to elect Democrats in 2024."

Thank you Mike....for applying some calm, common sense analysis...as the engineered hysteria is boiling over -

The Gatekeeper Types and Double Agent types are all being called upon (IMO) to break cover and go for broke - Trump and the American (Western) revival has to be stopped - the Globalist Agenda depends on it - Napolitano, Sachs and their ilk....and Scott Ritter.... well he's skating on very thin (ahem) ice - and he knows it - George Galloway throwing rocks from the side lines to maintain his relevance (and income) - they're all losing their minds over the drama and going 'all in' - - - what's to stop some Soros employees infiltrating ICE and shooting up a few people ? But even if that isn't the case...... the Biden Years were used to allow an invasion of the US - the present administration is trying to rectify the situation - not an easy task -

Minnesota, ICE and the makings of a US civil war | The Take

US federal immigration raids continue in Minnesota, and the operation has set the stage for a standoff between state officials and the federal government. Governor Tim Walz has readied Minnesota's national guard, while the Pentagon has ordered troops to be on standby. A 2024 University of Pennsylvania simulation warned that similar state-federal standoffs could escalate into broader armed conflict.

You're missing something.

Like, everything.

Why is it that words like "Soros" can be tossed around to simply discredit human beings or put them in a status slated for extinction?

I keep seeing this "labeling" thing, from the president on out to all his little minions, mind of a child.

"Getting in the way"? Those people were completely hosed. Not stopped or restrained, immediately hosed by multiple shots that were utterly unnecessary.

I personally do not see this as being a major breakdown, it is a sustained democrat project, they are without shame, they hate that they lost to Trump so completely, yes there are concerns with the excesses of Trump's geo-political actions, in fact the world is in a critical state, but I am not yet ready to call America as being in the state Scott & the judge claim.

You're not in America.

Why are there so many foreign opinions attempting to justify the feds?

This is a sustained anti-Republican project. The party is the enemy of everyone who is not them. The attempt is to rig the country so it will always vote Republican.

It's a very significant breakdown. I can say this because everyone here wants to eradicate the party. We do, and we will, even if an impeachment of the president is unlikely to succeed right away. We will use all means at our disposal.

Just saying. This country is ripped like a wishbone, and any attempt to speak on behalf of the administration is not going to win back anyone's favor; it's useless.

'Soros' is just shorthand for the Globalist Elites financial 'input' into the whole affair - (and the public money that gets funnelled in) the Soros family are just a front....

"Getting in the way"? Those people were completely hosed. Not stopped or restrained, immediately hosed by multiple shots that were utterly unnecessary.

'Those people' - (IMO) - are vulnerable and being used - that is - the ones who aren't agent provocateurs and they are being shamelessly manipulated - used like human shields and put in harms way -

A message from Alex Pretti's final nursing student on Facebook. I'm guessing that there is going to many more tributes like this. He was a hero until the very last moment of this life. His world, our world, is much poorer because DHS doesn't care about our rights.
