Following the invasion of 3000 ICE officers,
everyday Minnesotans are pouring into #rapid #response networks and scouring their neighborhoods
—even in 20-degree weather before the sun has come up.

“I’m being tailed by a car I think is ICE,
I can make out two masked individuals through the tinted windshield,” someone says.

The call goes quiet for a few seconds.
“I’m being pulled over.”

Dispatch chimes in:
“Stay unmuted,
turn down your volume so they don’t hear the call,
everyone else please stay on mute.”

We hear banging,
then something shatters.

“ICE just smashed their window,”
our driver explains calmly,
decelerating ahead of a red light.

We are shocked,
but this is a regular occurrence.

Everyone on the call keeps their cool.

We have heard stories from rapid responders about ICE tailing them,
boxing them in,
smashing their car windows,
pepper-spraying them,
holding them at gun point,
shooting out their tires,
detaining them.

Some responders have been taken to the regional ICE headquarters,
the #Whipple building.

Others have been driven to the other side of the city
and thrown out of the vehicle, ❄️alone in the cold.

Their cars have been left running in the road.

The responders tell us all these stories in passing,
quickly returning focus to the work that is to be done.

Of course, ICE has done worse than this, too.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed #Renee #Good as she was trying to drive away.

A week later, as ICE agents were pursuing someone,
they shot live ammunition at a house with a family in it, hitting #Julio #Sosa- #Celis in the leg.

But when you ask patrollers what they want people to know about what’s happening in their city, they barely mention the broken windows and bruises.

They describe the feeling of connection and solidarity filling the streets.

They make ❤️hearts with their hands from car to car, they blow kisses.

They make dinners for one another,
they drop off groceries for undocumented families that have been locked inside their homes for weeks.

They tell us about how, when a skirmish broke out on a busy road,
an entire café full of people stood up as one,
dropping what they were doing to run towards the sound.

We hear again and again about their deep love for the community in the Twin Cities and for their neighbors.

Every day, people who never imagined themselves fighting ICE are participating in bold combative actions

Legendary rocker
#Bruce #Springsteen delivered an impassioned condemnation of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement
during a surprise 75-minute performance Saturday night
at the "Light of Day" benefit concert in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Springsteen dedicated his 1978 anthem "The Promised Land" to #Renee #Nicole #Good, a mother of three and American citizen who was fatally shot by ICE officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on January 7.

The singer slammed the administration's
" #gestapo #tactics" and echoed Democratic Minneapolis Mayor #Jacob #Frey's call for ICE agents to leave the city, telling the sold-out crowd of approximately 1,500 at the Count Basie Center for the Arts that
💯 "ICE should get the f*** out of Minneapolis," according to video viewed from the concert.

#Bellingcat looked at five videos filmed during the #Renee #Good murder,
including one apparently from the phone of #Jonathan #Ross,
the ICE agent who shot and killed Good.

While each video alone provides valuable information, the five together provide a fuller picture of the situation as it unfolded.
Synced Overview
One of the ways to visualise the full incident was by tracking the movements of the key players on an overview map,
which Bellingcat did shortly after the incident on Jan. 7. 
Using eyewitness video shared by Daniel Suitor on Bluesky we tracked the movements of federal agents at the scene
– including Ross as he moved around the street.
The video also captured the position and movements of Good’s vehicle before, during and after the shots were fired.

Another video, filmed by a bystander and later shared by the Minnesota Reformer,
shows a closer view of Ross’ movements in the moments immediately before the shooting.

In the video, Ross can be seen with his phone in his left hand filming Good
before he pulls his gun out of its holster with his right hand.

Roughly one second elapses before he fires the first round through Good’s front window.

Two more shots follow.

A still from that same video captures Ross as he walks past in the seconds after the shooting.

A video app can be seen open in the federal agent’s phone.
Agent’s Phone

On Jan. 9, a video filmed by Ross was published on X by a conservative news outlet called Alpha News.

By syncing this video up with the other four available videos,
it was possible to observe more of what occurred,
including from Ross’ rough perspective.

However, it is important to note that Ross was holding the phone slightly away from his body,
so what appears in the video would be marginally different to what would have been his line of sight.

In the footage,
Good can be seen backing up before veering to the right
as Ross and the camera move to her left.

It is not clear from this footage exactly how close the car came to Ross,
as the cellphone points up and away as the vehicle moves forward.

Someone can be heard saying “whoa” before gunshots are heard.

An angle captured from down the street
– which some have suggested shows Ross being hit by the vehicle
– does appear to show the vehicle pass close to the agent as he fires.

However, the close-up video shared by the Minnesota Reformer shows Ross moving out of the way and to the side of the vehicle as he fires.

Another video published by CNN shows a head-on view of the incident from surveillance footage.

State and local leaders say
💥they do not believe that the #FBI #investigation of the shooting death of #Renee #Nicole #Good will be fair and impartial,

-- and are sounding alarms about the impact of federal officials
🆘 holding onto evidence in a potential prosecution of the ICE agent who killed her.

Minnesota’s lead investigative agency,
the "Bureau of Criminal Apprehension" ( #BCA ),
initially began investigating the shooting in conjunction with the FBI.

But the BCA issued a statement Thursday morning saying that
“the US attorney’s office had reversed course:
the investigation would now be led solely by the FBI,
and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials,
scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation”.

Hennepin county attorney
#Mary #Moriarty,
an elected Democrat and the county’s prosecutor, clarified at a press conference Friday that
the BCA
– which was established in 1927
– has a very high investigative standard
💥and that this standard can’t be met when the organization doesn’t have access to all the evidence.
It does not preclude an investigation, she said.
But a lack of access to evidence hampers the investigation.

“When the BCA came to the scene,
the evidence had been taken by the FBI,” she said.
“They collected the car and took it wherever the BCA does not have access to the car.
And the problem isn’t that the FBI took the car,
it’s that the BCA doesn’t have access to the car, or right now,
even access to the for

Minnesota state investigators say the FBI is ❌blocking them from investigating the ICEs hooting of #Renee #Good,
a mother of three and award-winning poet
who was killed in her car on January 7.

The federal government’s claims of immunity for the ICE officer
— identified as Iraq War veteran #Jonathan #Ross
— go against precedent,

as does its refusal to cooperate with state authorities,
says Minnesota Attorney General #Keith #Ellison, who is demanding
✅ a local and state-led investigation into Good’s homicide
and an end to the Trump administration’s “ #smear #tactics” against Good.

🔥“This is Third Reich stuff,” adds Ellison, decrying the escalation in aggressive tactics employed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis and throughout the country.

👉“This is an unprecedented attack on American institutions.”
