It's been a busy day. I've been working, baking, and running to the pharmacy, finally sitting down now.
I have barely had a chance to digest the HORRIFIC news of yet another ICE shooting. I'll port some of the salient posts here. So you can (and should) MUTE the following thread if you need to.
#Via Daniel Suitor / danielsuitor.com
10:55 AM · Jan 7, 2026"ICE reportedly shot someone at Portland and 33/34. Mspt saying bullets, could be less lethal 20+ agents on site, MPD and ambulances responding. Helicopters overhead.
Dozens of feds, large MPD response, an observer saying he's a physician and had a gun pointed at him for checking the victim's pulse.
Not posting a picture but there's a civilian covered in blood talking to authorities."

Currently there are multiple posts trending on this platform showing images and/or video of the shooting and of the shooter himself.
There were immediate efforts from the Trumposphere to spread disinformation that the driver tried to run over the agent, and that the agent is injured and in the hospital.
The importance of the video is the public can plainly see what DID happen: the van was stopped, the ICE guy came up trying to stop it leaving, and as it began moving he shot into the window.

There was clearly ZERO injury to the agent. Not even a question. And he rapidly left, walked away hastily, past multiple bystanders still taking videos of him, as he's hurrying, trying to pull his mask up further, and looking away.
The lies are astoundingly brazen.

Daniel Suitor then posted his email explicitly refusing permission to the New York Times to use his video of the incident, saying, "You all should've been nicer to my trans homies."

'We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,'the distraught woman sobs."

12:47 PM · Jan 7, 2026"I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed occupants, arrested them, shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK.
People out at site right now blowing whistles and yelling at ICE are doing so KNOWING THEY WILL BE PHYSICALLY HARMED because what’s at stake is THAT IMPORTANT."

7:19 PM · Jan 7, 2026"The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @ prisonculture social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her."

Kristi Noem was one of the initial BSers to post disinformation about this event, claiming something like, there were ICE agents trying to get someone's stuck car out of the snow, and this driver just tried to run them over. It's brazen lies from start to end. Then at her press conference:

She wreaked havoc in Chicago area & brought reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot & killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
She breaks rule of law and terrorizes communities. Impeaching her for violating public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing:"
