In Portland, two people have been non-fatally wounded by ICE/Border Patrol in a shooting. A husband and wife, by the sounds of it.
Looking forward to hearing about how they’re the worst of the worst, and domestic terrorists.
People have identified the ICE goon who murdered Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis yesterday.
Not a good day to be a TV presenter from the UK, I have to say.
I don’t generally want to quote or use articles by other publications except as PDFs to confirm events did, in fact, actually happen. However, there are certain exceptions to that.
404 Media’s excellent encapsulation of the lies being told by the Trump administration, Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, ICE, etc… You should have a read. I will place some choice quotes below the link.
DHS Is Lying to You About ICE Shooting A Woman
“In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote, “the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital.” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said at a press conference, “it was an act of domestic terrorism” and “a woman attacked them and those surrounding them and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him.”
DHS lied. Trump lied. Noem lied. The Honda was already turning to the right away from the officers when the one who allegedly feared for his life fired the shots. There were no other officers up the road where the car did fully level out, meaning no other fellow officers were at risk.
This is a pattern. Some event happens as part of the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign, DHS rushes out a misleading, wrong, or incendiary statement that does not reflect reality, and it becomes another piece of ammo for the X.com grifters, right wing media ecosystem, or people who just love the idea of others being hurt. DHS’s serial lying has become such a problem that even a judge called it out. In November, U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis wrote a more than 200 page opinion that in large part catalogued DHS officials’ bullshit. Parts of the opinion were scathing: “The Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible.”
DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. Its words carry no weight or meaning for those who care about what really happened. Only those who want to believe what it says.
Today in Minneapolis, an ICE agent shot and killed a woman in her car. Apparently he opened up through her driver’s side window and shot her four or five times in the face and chest. She drove 100 feet and collided with a utility pole, already dead when people reached her car.
Kristi Noem has already spewed her bullshit, as normal. Per the article above, Noem insisted that the shooting was justified and that the victim was a “domestic terrorist” who endangered officers’ lives. This is contradicted by video of the incident, and by eyewitness accounts. And lest you forget: there is zero reason to believe anything Noem or ICE/DHS says, ever. They have consistently lied about every single event that may make them look bad. Every. One.
The shooter was vaguely in front of the car, but not in danger of being struck; it is very obvious the driver was trying to turn around and avoid interacting with the ICE agents. I will not be posting the video here, but suffice to say this will also be difficult to memory hole due to multiple videos from multiple angles and reportage from major news stations.
If this were a police officer who had done this under any other circumstance (except possible a protracted police chase) the chances of this being an unwarranted shooting are close to 100%. Even the LAPD and LASD wouldn’t be able to get away with executing someone in cold blood under the claim she may have hit them with a car, given this video.
The Trump militia proceeds apace.
It took longer than I expected. But we’ve attacked Venezuela, kidnapped President Maduro and his wife, and apparently intend to take them to New York to stand trial under United States law. I’m not linking any direct news articles because they’re almost all video and quite frankly, this is gonna be impossible to memory hole or lie over because it’s been some Made For TV shit, just like every other foreign intervention we’ve had since Gulf War 1.
Here are sometimeline highlights, however.
We had some remarks from President Trump at around 8 AM pacific time today. In true Trumpian fashion, he proceeded to self-aggrandize (biggest operation since World War 2!) and bloviate about how great he is. But also in keeping with that, he kept up his knack of saying out loud the shit that others in his admin probably wish he wouldn’t have. To whit:
Now, perhaps most chillingly, at the end of his press conference, he did offer a hint as to what’s next, with one single offhand statement:
“Something’s going to have to be done with Mexico.”
So let that sink in, on this day of January 3rd, 2026.
