MN - One dead after Minneapolis shooting involving immigration agents, US media report, January 24, 2026

I'm more focused on the "stated retribution on the citizens of our state" part. Where was this stated?? Has it been said explicitly by someone in the administration or is it implied?

On the other hand, even if it's implied, HE seems to be interpreting it that way, and that is a big thing in my mind, though I have no idea who he is, the allegation being supported and said clearly by someone who was running on a Republican ticket is massive.

Honestly, he reminds me of a once-GOP-runner for the governor of my state. A very smart man, a centrist version of the GOP. He lost with a tiny margin to my previous governor. Did Madel have the chance in Minnesota? Not after Saturday.

You see, he had to take sides. Now he is against the actions of ICE in Minnesota and he lost the party funding. He can't run his own campaign. Perhaps he'd be a better independent, IMHO.

They never stopped using the chemicals in the first place, so it basically changes nothing for the people on the streets.

MOO

They stopped from Saturday to Monday (((

They stopped from Saturday to Monday (((

Do you mean this past Saturday to Monday? After Alex was shot.

Because this is Sunday, They were using tear gas.

Federal agents use teargas on protesters outside ICE agents’ alleged Minneapolis hotel

Protesters reportedly had gathered at the hotel after the killing of Alex Pretti, with some vandalizing the building

"Peaceful Protest", Yes. Bringing a gun to a "Peaceful Protest'. No.

Alex Pretti carried his gun legally, holstered and did not show any intent to use it. He was shot ten times in the back when he was already disarmed.

It's my opinion that had he not been carrying that day, and had he not inserted himself when the woman was pushed down, he'd likely be alive today.

He was shot ten times in the back after he was incapacitated and disarmed. He never took his gun out. In actual fact the agents found out he had a gun when they searched him. Also, protesting and helping other people is not illegal.

It's my opinion that saying he would be alive if he did not carry and did not help that woman is pure, unadulterated victim blaming.

MOO

Where did the term "trained agitators" come from?

It sounds like a translation. "Agitator" has been used for so long in the context of washing machines, that i can't imagine it entering an English-based language in the new meaning.

"Professional agitators" is a term that existed in Russia during the revolution.

Perhaps some other languages have it? Where did it come from?

That term was merrily used in whole Soviet bloc to describe anyone who protested against any of the regimes. Trained, or professional agitators, rioters. Ask anyone who lived beyond the Iron Curtain.

MOO

Thank you. I had no idea.

Those are some very loaded words he chose.

In all caps no less. A president of the United States said this and there was barely a reaction to it. That's where we are as a country.

When I look at the footage I see a man go to help a woman who's been shoved. I then see him pepper sprayed, beaten up and shot to death.

But some people are seeing people getting in the way of LE trying to apprehend violent criminals. That is what the job of ICE is supposed to be, isn't it?

Yes. Shooting unarmed civilians, though, is not their job.

Could we all try and step back and realise that neither of these two perspectives is 100% incorrect, and that people seeing it from the other side are not bad people?

Maybe not bad, but willing to ignore evil.

MOO

Maybe not bad, but willing to ignore evil.

It's pretty bad to ignore evil though. I think the whole situation is at the stage where it's beyond trying to see it from other sides. The videos are there for all to see. This was execution. The people who committed this act and the ones who excuse it need to be called out. JMO.

Many Snopes readers reached out via social media and email to seek clarification on whether the slogan was authentic and actually originated with the Nazis.

Snopes was wrong multiple times in the past.
