If you followed Status Coup news the last couple of nights they interviewed several people like that. People who'd never even considered protesting anything before who are just so upset about what is happening to their hometown and can't understand the point of all of the sturm und drang.

There was one I recall of an older lady in her 70s who had been hit in the face with a rubber bullet and was pretty upset about it. Can't say I blame her.

ICE is very much getting in the face of people who aren't protesting and aren't doing anything unlawful and are clearly US citizens. That doesn't seem to do anything about undocumented immigrants and just seems to piss people off Which in a supposed democracy is a bad idea if you want to keep your cushy job being a goon.

From the NYT opinion page:

This week, Fox News warned about “organized gangs of wine moms” using “antifa tactics” against ICE. According to a column in the right-wing PJ Media, the “greatest threat to our nation” is a “group of ‘unindicted domestic terrorists’ who are just AWFL: Affluent White Liberal Women.” (The acronym is wrong, but never mind.) The Canadian influencer Lauren Chen — who had to leave the United States in 2024 after the Department of Justice accused her of working for a Russian propaganda operation, but was allowed back in by the Trump administration — wrote that the ideology of women like Renee Good is “almost wholly responsible for the decline of Western civilization.”

It’s as if the right is speedrunning the Martin Niemöller poem that begins, “First they came for the Communists.” ICE’s invasion of Minneapolis started with the demonization of Somali immigrants. It took only weeks for conservative demagogues to direct their venom toward the middle-class women of the Resistance. We’re now seeing an outpouring of misogynist rage driven by both political expedience and psychosexual grievance.

One reason Renee Good’s death was such a shock is that we’re not used to seeing law enforcement violence against middle-class white mothers. The citizenry has broadly recoiled; her killing, in addition to being a human tragedy, has been a public relations disaster for the administration. According to an Economist/YouGov poll, most Americans have seen videos of the shooting, and only 30 percent believe it was justified. A plurality of Americans say ICE is making cities less safe, and more people support than oppose abolishing the agency.

By grabbing the 4 Native Americans they already have broken the treaty. By not acknowledging the request from the Tribe they have broken it a second time.

How soon will this admin. break the treaty?

I've been following this story since 4 Native Americans were kidnapped by ICE.

"“I am the President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and Chairman of the Great Plains Tribal Chairmen’s Association, which includes seventeen federally recognized Indian tribes.
Recently, I was made aware that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained four Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis, Minnesota. These individuals are homeless and were living under a bridge near the Little Earth Housing Complex in the East Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis.
When the Oglala Sioux Tribe requested more information concerning this matter, federal officials informed us that the Tribe could access that information only if we entered into an immigration agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The Tribe does not intend to enter into any immigration agreement with ICE or the Department of Homeland Security, whether pursuant to § 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 25 U.S.C. § 2804(e), or otherwise. We will not enter into any agreement that would authorize, or make it easier for, ICE or Homeland Security to enter our tribal homeland to arrest or detain our tribal members.
The Oglala Sioux Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe. We have a treaty-based, nation-to-nation relationship with the United States. We are entitled to information from federal agencies concerning our tribal citizens, and we should not be required to enter into an immigration agreement with ICE to obtain that information.
Members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe are United States citizens. We are the First Americans. We are not undocumented immigrants, and we are not subject to unlawful immigration enforcement actions by ICE or the Department of Homeland Security.
The Oglala Sioux Tribe hereby issues formal notice to the United States Government, including ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, and all subordinate agencies, that any detention of Oglala Sioux tribal members under immigration authority constitutes a grave violation of tribal treaties, statutory law, and the constitutional rights of a sovereign people.
Tribal members are not aliens. They are not subject to immigration enforcement or detention. They are citizens of this land by treaty, by statute, and by history.”
~ OST President Frank Star Comes Out

After the leak of the DHS ICE agents' names it has been paused by a massive cyber attack from Russia.

There's no doubt that ICE believes they are endowed with the power to attack US citizens, they're doing it by the hour and reasons are no longer even suggested, they'll do it because they can. Yesterday an autistic woman on her way to doctors appt then a clergyman then a 10 year old boy, US citizen kidnapped.

Now, a journalist's home is raided https://aaronparnas.substack.com/p/majo ... dium=email

So I’ll repeat myself. If you aren’t allowed to inconvenience and interfere with what private companies or the government are doing as a form of protest, then you don’t have the right to protest. Peaceful protest means you interfere without hurting anyone or anything, but it doesn’t mean you can’t delay, cause a loss of profits, make them look foolish, or inconvenience them, and they SURE AS f*** don’t get to shoot you because you “didn’t follow orders” or “disrespected them.” Of course, ICE is shooting people because they like shooting people. It makes them feel tough, and makes their supporters feel tough by proxy. “Haha! Take THAT brown person.” That’s their inner voice, and sometimes, increasingly often, their outer voice as well.

“It would be more fun if you weren’t white.” — Anon. ICE officer to a pastor in Minneapolis.

There you have it. It wasn’t about the officer’s life being in danger; it was about disrespecting the officer. That deserves, in this administration’s eyes, not only death, but perhaps a collective punishment. Odd that ICE is only committing violent acts in cities run by democratic mayors, but ignoring cities with much larger immigrant populations like (pick any city in Texas).

It was never about interfering with official duties; it was about forcing the submission of American citizens to the whims of some wacked-out racist shitbags. “Interfering with official duties" is a meaningless phrase that can be immediately expanded to absolutely anything and applied selectively. ICE is going out of its way to create conflict.

If someone is too slow to decide on a drink at Starbucks, can ICE shoot them for waiting in line?

If someone misses the light turning green, can ICE shoot them?

1. In December 2025, the federal government initiated “Operation Metro Surge,” an unprecedented deployment of federal immigration enforcement agents from numerous agencies of Defendant U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) to the State of Minnesota, including into the cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Operation Metro Surge has instilled fear among people living, working and visiting the MinneapolisSaint Paul metro area (the “Twin Cities”). Thousands of armed and masked DHS agents have stormed the Twin Cities to conduct militarized raids and carry out dangerous, illegal, and unconstitutional stops and arrests in sensitive public places, including schools and hospitals—all under the guise of lawful immigration enforcement.

2. Defendants claim this unprecedented surge of immigration agents is necessary to fight fraud. In reality, the massive deployment of armed agents to Minnesota bears no connection to that stated objective and instead reflects an alarming escalation of the Trump Administration’s retaliatory actions towards the state.

3. Defendants claim to have deployed over 2,000 DHS agents to the Twin Cities—a number that greatly exceeds the number of sworn police officers that Minneapolis and Saint Paul have, combined. Operation Metro Surge is, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin Cities.

4. This operation is driven by nothing more than the Trump Administration’s desire to punish political opponents and score partisan points—at the direct expense of Plaintiffs’ residents. Defendants’ actions appear designed to provoke community outrage, sow fear, and inflict emotional distress, and they are interfering with the ability of state and local officials to protect and care for their residents. After weeks of escalation, including a DHS agent shooting into an occupied vehicle on December 21, 2025, in Saint Paul, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) agent shot and killed a Minneapolis resident on January 7, 2026.

The State Department is warning Americans that armed gangs are killing Americans in Venezuela and they recommend that Americans leave the country.

Meanwhile, in the Untied States, armed gangs are killing Americans.

Because you haven't done your own research, nor listened to the discussion on the thread I posted it's clear why you think the Supremacy Clause gives your guy cover. It doesn't apply in the Good scenario any more than it does if the agent shot one of his fellow agents.

Supremacy clause! You go for it confederate, keep that slavery/plantation mantra.

The conflicting stories, like Ken trying to compare Babbitt with Good and then Trump saying he's locked and loaded to go in and protect the protesters in Iran on the same time his ICE agents are attacking American citizens in the streets of his own Country, on his own orders, just defies all reason. The people of Minneapolis are being literally shoved to the ground by the hour but they all keep getting up.
