Trump and Vance have already lost. They thought they could remake and change the character of America. They thought we would embrace their plan of sending masked federal agents to terrorize communities. The American people said Hell No.

We are in a dark time, but it is not hopeless. Trump and Vance have already lost. The American people are standing up and refusing to go along with their attempt to remake America.

Dear DHS: You need to implement an immediate operational stand down of ICE and Border Patrol interior operations so your agents can learn basic stuff, like the fact that the First Lady of the United States is an American citizen even though she has an accent.

CNN airs unearthed footage of a Border Patrol agent harassing a ride share driver: "If you were from this country, you would know I'm an immigration officer... I can hear you don't have the same accent as me."

Today, 15 Democratic veterans are calling for a stand down of ICE and CBP interior operations following the second killing by federal agents of an American citizen in Minnesota.

15 DEMOCRATIC VETERANS DEMAND ICE AND CBP INTERIOR OPERATIONS STAND DOWN

Representatives Ted Lieu, Salud Carbajal, Gil Cisneros, Herb Conaway, Jason Crow, Chris DeLuzio, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlahan, Seth Moulton, Jimmy Panetta, Pat Ryan, Bobby Scott, Mike Thompson, Derek Tran, and Eugene Vindman issued the following statement:

$As veterans, we are outraged and horrified by the killing of a second civilian in Minneapolis by federal agents in less than three weeks. Border Patrol agents shot and killed 37-year-old American citizen Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. Video footage and eyewitness accounts of this incident are deeply disturbing and raise serious questions about the use of force. This tragic killing comes on the heels of the fatal shooting of Renée Good earlier this month, and multiple other documented incidents of civil-rights abuses and excessive enforcement by ICE and CBP in Minnesota – demonstrating a pattern of misconduct that has fractured trust and terrified communities. In the military, when preventable deaths occur, leaders stand down operations to review/change policies, reassess missions, retrain personnel, and implement stronger safety protocols. The Department of Homeland Security must do no less. Our communities are less safe, and tensions have reached a boiling point. For these reasons, we call for an immediate stand down of ICE and CBP interior enforcement operations and demand the resignation of the Secretary of Homeland Security. Current leadership has failed to protect civil liberties, ensure accountability, or maintain the public trust. We also demand full, transparent, independent investigations into these deaths and abuses, and decisive steps to prevent further civilian killings at the hands of federal agents.$

Believe your eyes. Multiple videos contradict Trump Administration’s lies about the killing of civilian Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Calling for an immediate nationwide stand down of ICE and CBP interior operations.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

Another ICE shooting has occurred. In the military, when preventable deaths occurred, we’d have stand downs. Department of Homeland Security must immediately withdraw ICE from Minnesota to calm tensions, and IMPOSE A NATIONWIDE STAND DOWN OF ICE to review/change policies, procedures and training.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialJan 24(source)

Trump and Vance have already lost. They thought Americans would embrace their policy of sending masked ICE agents to terrorize communities across the US. Exactly the opposite happened. Americans are standing up and saying NO. ICE is now at 63% disapproval and only 36% approval.

Today, Jack Smith explained he had enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump tried to overturn the election illegally, tried to get fake electors, and in a separate case, stole classified documents and tried to hide them.

Lieu uses his questioning time to contrast how Biden let Jack Smith operate independently with how Trump orders his underlings to open politicized investigations into his political foes

Lieu: "How scared are Republicans of talking about the Epstein files? They are so scared that they literally are calling Jack Smith ... Republicans would rather talk about the criminality of Donald Trump than about his associations with Epstein and his pedophelia ring."

Under Trump, food prices increased in America. December had largest increase in grocery prices since 2022. Under Trump, food prices are soaring in Venezuela. Trump sucks at running America. No surprise he sucks at running Venezuela as Acting President of Venezuela. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/w...

The Trump Administration has lost the public’s sentiment on ICE, Border Patrol, and immigration. The people of Minnesota are not alone. You are on the right side of history.

The statute of limitations for violations of federal law is 5 years. Your photographs, videos, and livestreams can be used as evidence in future cases. So while this Administration may not hold anyone accountable, a future Administration will.

The First Amendment gives Americans the right to peacefully observe & film ICE operations. Visiting Minnesota today because the Trump Administration sent a poorly trained paramilitary force to harass & intimidate people. Minnesotans exercising their rights said HELL NO.

I asked Grok how much 100,000 shares of xAI is worth. Here is the answer:

NN: There's a report your husband bought stock in Musk's xAI days before news surfaced the Pentagon is expanding xAI's role in military systems. Can you assure us this wasn't based on inside info? McCLAIN: If it was, we wouldn't have bought 100,000 shares. We would've bought a heck of a lot more

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialJan 14(source)

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to: 1. Film ICE in public 2. Photograph ICE in public 3. Observe what ICE does in public ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.
