Thursday, January 8, 2025. The gestapo force of the Donald Chump regime
shoots a woman in the face and refuses to allow a doctor on the scene to
examine her, the murder carried out by ICE is just the latest in a long
line of crimes the out of control and unaccountable body has been
carrying out, US House Rep Robin Kelly calls for Kristi Noem's
impeachment, the Epstein scandal continues to follow Chump, and much
more.
Donald Chump's gestapo has gotten away with a
lot during their ICE operations but yesterday they murdered an unarmed
American citizen.
A former neighbor in Kansas told CNN affiliates KCTV and KMBC Good and her family “were lovely.”
She is “a neighbor who, you know, is not a terrorist. Not an
extremist,” Joan Rose told KMBC. “That was just a mom who loved her
kids, loved her spouse.”

She is “a neighbor who, you know, is not a terrorist. Not an extremist,”
Joan Rose told KMBC. “That was just a mom who loved her kids, loved her

A Minnesota
woman sitting in the snow with her dog told a person filming her that
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had just shot and killed her
wife — now identified as Renee Nicole Good, 37 — according to newly
circulating video that has intensified scrutiny of a fatal federal
shooting during a sweeping immigration enforcement operation in south
Minneapolis on Wednesday. “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do,” the woman says through sobs in the footage,
with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to
videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the woman cries.
“We
have a 6-year-old at school,” she says, almost unable to breathe, as a
chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor
who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. “We’re new
here,” the distraught woman says in despair.
They
killed her, they murdered her. In cold blood. That's the ICE agent
who shot her, that's the other agents present and that is Kristi Noem
and Donald Chump who are behind one illegal action after another.
One
moment, she was a woman with kids and a wife gearing up to celebrate
her sister's January 7th birthday and the next she was gone. Murdered.
"First they lie," Lawrence O'Donnell noted on MS NOW last night. "I say this from long, weary experience with the subject."
Convicted Felon Donald Chump is a liar with dementia. I
don't care which is impacting him more, he needs to stop lying. If the
dementia is now solely responsible, that's reason to remove from
office.
Mike Stunson (FORBES) reports:
President Donald Trump claimed a Minnesota woman “violently, willfully and viciously” ran over an ICE officer before she was shot and killed
by the agent Wednesday, defending the officer’s actions as Minnesota
Gov. Tim Walz and other critics expressed concern that the Trump
administration’s statement on the incident do not align with video
evidence.
Video from the scene,
shared on social media, shows the driver of the SUV crashed into a pole
after three shots were fired from a man who appears to be a federal
agent.
Trump said the agent was acting in self defense and blamed the incident on the “Radical Left.”
Walz, who saw the video
of the shooting and tweeted, “Don’t believe this propaganda machine,”
told reporters Wednesday the fatal shooting occurred because of the
federal government’s “dangerous, sensationalized operations,” adding,
“What we're seeing is the consequences of governance designed to
generate fear, headlines and conflict.”
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said in a statement
that comments made by the Department of Homeland Security defending the
shooting “do not appear to reflect video evidence and on-the-ground
accounts.” Stop lying. But they can't. All they do is lie over and over.
Zolan Kanno-Youngs (NEW YORK TIMES) notes
that a group of NYT journalists were interviewing Chump yesterday and
when they disputed his assertions, he demanded that they watch the video
together. And Chump then continued his lies making claims that the
video didn't support. You can
click here for a video analysis THE TIMES has done of the video -- it's a video report that also has a transcript option.
Lawrence notes Kristi Noem's multiple lies and Chump's lies.
Those are the signs of an out of control federal agency and those are
the actions of Chump's gestapo force. The actions are shocking, yes,
and illegal.
The actions are also not all that surprising considering who gets
hired by ICE and who provides purported oversight of ICE. Who gets
hired? The lowest of the low. Charles P. Pierce (ESQUIRE) pull quoted from an NBC NEWS report and this might be the most disturbing part of that report:
Nearly
half of new recruits who’ve arrived for training at the Federal Law
Enforcement Training Center over the past three months were later sent
home because they couldn’t pass the written exam, according to the data.
The academic requirement includes an exam in which officers are allowed
to consult their textbooks and notes at the end of a legal course on
the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Fourth Amendment, which
outlines when officers can and can’t conduct searches and seizures.
"Oh my goodness! They almost hired those people!"
No,
that's not it. It's that they hired the others -- those 'trained'
people who required an open book final exam. They weren't expected or
required to know the law. You see that reflected in their conduct
repeatedly.
Not just with regards to their attack on the
US citizen and Iraq War veteran George Retes, but on people all across
the country. They are a lawless body that terrorizes in the streets of
America.
They terrorize pregnant women. They terrorize the challenged and/or disabled. Who is safe on the streets of America when ICE is let loose? Children? They're tear gassing children. When they're not zip-tying them.
And there is no oversight.
They're a department of liars led by the lying Homeland Secuirty Secretary Kristi Noem.
ICE
rammed a car in Chicago -- ran into it -- and they lied in statements
and false charges insisting that Dayanne Figueroa, a US citizen, ran
into them:
Footage
obtained by Newsweek appears to show armed federal agents detaining
Figueroa, dragging her by the legs to remove her from her vehicle. Some
agents brandish guns, and bystanders can be heard shouting, “You hit
her,” as the situation unfolds.
Additional
video obtained by Figueroa’s family from another witness provides a
different angle of the encounter. The bystander who is filming tells
federal agents: “You hit her. We all saw it.”
“You
guys are f*****g scumbags, f*****g Nazis. They hit her car. You guys
hit her, and you f*****g know it,” the bystander is heard saying.
“As
agents were departing, the driver, a U.S. citizen, struck an unmarked
government vehicle,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told
Newsweek.
Tricia, like Kristi, is a repeat offender when it comes to lying to the American people. Nicole Charky-Chami (RAW STORY) notes:
A
senior ICE official is under fire after publicly sharing a 13-year-old
child's information — and an expert warns it "could lead to serious
consequences."
DHS spokesperson Tricia
McLaughlin, 31, who is the most senior public affairs official under
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, revealed the identity, alleged
criminal history and a photo of the child detained by ICE, The Daily
Beast reported Monday.
McLaughlin is accused of sharing children's information not just once, but multiple times.
Her
social media post and the DHS actions “could lead to serious
consequences inside the government, such as an Inspector General
investigation, disciplinary action, or even congressional scrutiny," Los
Angeles-based criminal defense attorney Arash Hashemi told The Beast.
Public
anger was rising after a Brazilian-born seventh-grader in Massachusetts
was reportedly taken by federal agents to a juvenile detention center
more than 500 miles away from his family.
In an attempt to stop the public criticism, McLaughlin and DHS tried to use social media.
"They
claimed that the boy had an 'extensive rap sheet,' while listing some
of his apparent past offenses. They also stated—falsely, it
transpired—that he had been in possession of a firearm," The Beast
reports.
It's illegal for DHS or law enforcement to share a child's information.
And
here's where the media keeps failing us. Homeland Security officials
have been caught in one lie after another. It's so bad that judges
can't really take their claims seriously at this point. But the media
too often repeats claims regarding ICE without noting the long pattern
of lies from them this year.
We were all taught about
the little boy who cried wolf. You don't lie because you'll be known as
a liar and the time will come when you need to be believed but you're
known as a liar.
A lesson we're taught as children is
too much for ICE and the officials over ICE to grasp. That might be
shocking if we hadn't already addressed the relaxed 'standards' when it
comes to hiring ICE agents.
Those
present, including Minnesota law enforcement, have called out ICE's
lies, Chump's lies and Kristi's lies. A US citizen was murdered in cold
blood, shot in the face, denied medical treatment (a doctor was among
the witnesses of the murder and ICE refused to let the doctor approach
and examine Renee) and Donald and company think they can act like
nothing happened.
Some coverage.
Let's wind down with this from US House Rep Robin Kelly's office:
WASHINGTON
– Today, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) announced plans to impeach
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.
“Secretary
Kristi Noem is an incompetent leader, a disgrace to our democracy, and I
am impeaching her for obstruction of justice, violation of public
trust, and self-dealing. Secretary Noem wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland
area, and now, her rogue ICE agents have unleashed that same
destruction in Minneapolis, fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good,” said Rep. Kelly.
“From Chicago to Charlotte to Los Angeles to Minneapolis, Secretary
Noem is violating the Constitution while ruining—and ending—lives, and
separating families. It’s one thing to be incompetent and dangerous, but
it’s impeachable to break the rule of law. I told my constituents and
Chicagoans that I would fight against Secretary Noem’s agenda. This is
me fighting back.”
Rep. Kelly will file three articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem:
- Obstruction of Congress:
Secretary Noem willfully obstructed Congressional oversight and
withheld Congressionally appropriated funds in violation of her
constitutional oath and federal law.
- Violation of Public
Trust: Secretary Noem compromised public safety, violated due process of
American citizens, and directed unconstitutional actions.
- Self-Dealing: Secretary Noem abused her office for personal benefit and steered federal dollars to associates.
