"Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America."
Minneapolis residents aren’t just pushing back against Trump’s crackdown—they’re undercutting MAGA’s core philosophy, Adam Serwer argues.
How Minnesotans Faced Down MAGA
The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

Agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter in a massive show of force.
Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building.
But after the cameras were gone, federal prosecutors did not charge anyone.

He very last act is to turn the wheels away from the ICE officer.
That was my takeaway too. She's clearly turning the wheel to her right.

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Hard video to watch, but about as close as you can get to conclusively disproving the Trump admin's claims that she deliberately attempted to run down the officer. She even talks nicely with him moments before!
Note also that the officer is focused more on filming her than on anything else.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

With news of yet another DHS shooting breaking, a reminder that DHS’s initial statements should not be trusted without further verification, given previous post-shooting statements which crumbled under further investigation. In addition, be wary of short context-free video clips shared virally.
"My public safety team is working to gather information on an ICE related shooting this morning" near Portland Avenue and 34th Street in Minneapolis, says Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
"We will share information as we learn more. In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm."
