#Facialrecognition #ICE #surveillance –

„This may be another reason so many immigration officers are masked while on duty: They know better than we do what it means to show one’s face. In Minneapolis and elsewhere, agents now carry tools of surveillance into the field, just as they do their guns.“ David Wallace-Wells

The #Trump admin has once again immersed the #US in a crisis. The officers who are supposed to be protecting America’s borders have again been unleashed on an American city—this time, #Minneapolis. The authorities in #Minnesota want the #CBP & #ICE forces to leave; the US govt’s response has been to continue to allow them to operate without any limits.

Multiple videos show federal officer disarmed 37-year-old ICU nurse #AlexPretti before fatally shooting him.

#ICU #nurse fatally shot by “federal agents” in #Minneapolis cared for #veterans
#AlexPretti, 37, was kind & didn’t often discuss politics, friends & colleagues said.

His family disputes [as do we all with functioning eyes] the #Trump admin’s version of the #shooting.

The US wants to focus on strategic control of the Western Hemisphere and reduce its ties with Europe, the new defense strategy, launched Friday, says. That makes last week’s decision by the EU Parliament to send economic integration of Europe and South America to the courts instead of implementing it now and improving it later, even more hazardous. Trump is certainly happy about it. #giftarticle https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/pentagons-new-defense-strategy-strikes-conciliatory-tone-on-china-03b0940f?st=THU4A6&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink #Trump #mercosur #greens #agriculture

Canada’s Prime Minister Carney gave an “era-defining” (NYT) speech at #Davos about the current political “rupture” and the need to reject coercion by superpowers forcefully. He also described double standards in Western policy in an unusually honest way for a Western leader. Here’s the manuscript as a #giftarticle https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/01/20/world/carney-transcript-davos.html?unlocked_article_code=1.GFA.R9bJ.tjUbTb-Nypdp&smid=url-share
