This is who ICE killed today. Let that sink in for a minute.
This was not how I intended to break my five months of absence from this page but there’s nothing more important happening this evening. Not in Minneapolis at least.
Watch the videos and decide for yourself but what I saw today was an unjustified murder. It’s clear the killer will never face federal charges - at least not under this regime - but I hope he is prosecuted at the state level to the maximum extent possible.

As someone who wrote professionally, first as a reporter, then in corporate communications, I have to confess words fail me today - for the first time in my 71 years. I no longer know this nation, and I fear for its people, especially my own children.

A paragraph from near the close: Before last year, if you were a mom, with a glovebox full of stuffed animals, driving your SUV through a peaceful suburb, eager to see your six-year-old child at the end of the day — a wife with no criminal record who had committed no federal crimes, not being sought by any authorities anywhere — a poet who cared about your neighbors — there was, effectively, a zero percent chance you had to worry about being shot in the face by masked, ill-trained, aggressive federal officers who would then pull their guns on a doctor who tried to help you and let you die in the street.
Now that chance is at least non-zero.
