Rep. Kelly announces plans to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) announced plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.Congresswoman Robin Kelly
After watching the videos, there is no way to describe this other than #murder.
The woman was driving away.
The “agent” shot directly at her, & she was shot in the head.
Murder.

A large throng of protesters gathered at the scene after the #shooting, where they vented their anger at the officers who were there, including #GregBovino, a senior #CBP ofcl who has been the face of crackdowns in #LosAngeles, #Chicago & elsewhere.
“Shame! Shame! Shame!” & “ICE out of #Minnesota!” they loudly chanted from behind police tape.

Attorney General Keith Ellison of #Minnesota, a Democrat, said in a statement that “if anyone broke the #law in today’s act of #violence, I will do all I can to ensure they are held accountable.” Ellison criticized the deployment of #immigration “officers” to his state, saying it was “spreading terror throughout our communities.”

Local officials in #Minneapolis called on #federal forces to leave the city after a woman was fatally shot during a confrontation with #immigration “agents”. But they urged residents to remain calm….
“We’re demanding #ICE to leave the city immediately,” Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, said on social media, saying that the #shooting involved an agent with ICE. He added that “the presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city.”
#Trump #law #DueProcess #UseOfForce
Chief O’Hara said the #FBI & the #Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had taken control of the #crime scene. He said an investigation would take place, but it was unclear which agency would investigate—or whether both would. [pray it’s not the FBI]

Chief Brian O’Hara of the #Minneapolis #police said his officers went to the scene after being told that federal agents had fired shots. The woman who was shot had a head wound, he said, & was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The mayor said there “were dozens if not hundreds” of #ICE agents at the #shooting scene, and that #Minneapolis officials tried to speed their departure. “Having them there was only causing more chaos,” he said. Frey, who is just days into his third term, said the #Trump admin wanted an excuse to #occupy the city. He called for residents to “show them something far more beautiful than the kind of division that they’re trying to stoke.”
#law #immigration #DueProcess #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality
#Minneapolis Mayor Frey described the #shooting as “an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed.” He took issue with the federal government’s description of the shooting, describing it as “bullshit,” saying that he had viewed video of the incident.

The federal government’s description of the encounter could not immediately be verified independently. Rep #IlhanOmar, a #Democrat whose congressional district includes the shooting scene, described the person as a “legal observer.”
Hundreds of people gathered at the scene, chanting for #ICE agents to leave. The #shooting took place in a middle-class residential neighborhood in #Minneapolis, about a mile from the place where #GeorgeFloyd was killed by #police in 2020.
#Trump #law #immigration
#DHS ofcls said the #shooting occurred as agents were conducting “targeted operations” & were confronted by protesters. Tricia McLaughlin, an agency propagandist, said in a statement that a woman had “weaponized her vehicle” & tried to kill federal officers. [this statement will likely to turn out to be false]

The #UN #Security Council will convene an emergency meeting on Monday morning to discuss #US strikes in #Venezuela. #Russia, #China & #Colombia asked for the meeting after Venezuela’s mission to the UN wrote a letter to the Council president requesting the meeting to condemn & stop US strikes on the country. Secy Gen António Guterres is expected to address the #UNSC Monday. He said in a statement earlier that all sides must uphold #InternationalLaw & the #UNcharter.
In an interview w/ NYT, secy of #state #MarcoRubio said he was reserving judgment on #DelcyRodríguez’s comments, in which she denied she planned to work with the #US.
“We’re going to make decisions based on their actions & their deeds in the days & weeks to come,” he said, referring to ofcls in the interim #Venezuela govt. “We think they’re going to have some unique & historic opportunities to do a great service for the country, & we hope that they’ll accept that opportunity.”
#DelcyRodríguez was sworn in as #Venezuela’s new president Saturday, but she repeatedly said that #Maduro was Venezuela’s “only president” & even the text on Venezuelan state TV labeled her as vice president. When she ended, the state broadcaster immediately said that Rodríguez was the VP who had just made clear that Maduro was Venezuela’s president.
#law #Congress #WarPowers #criminal #Trump #abduction #Venezuela #oil #LandGrab #sovereignty #WarCrimes #theft #piracy #InternationalLaw
#DelcyRodríguez added that #Venezuela was open to having a respectful relationship with the #Trump admin, but only within the framework of international & Venezuelan #law. “That is the only type of relationship I will accept, after they have attacked & militarily assaulted our beloved nation,” she said.
#Congress #WarPowers #criminal #abduction #oil #LandGrab #sovereignty #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #theft #piracy #InternationalLaw
#DelcyRodríguez, spoke flanked by powerful military officials & other key government leaders as she denounced the #UnitedStates’ actions. As she introduced each figure on live television, they nodded toward her in a show of deference as she demanded that #Maduro was the rightful president of #Venezuela. The display of force & unity undermined President Trump’s earlier comments that Washington would work with Rodríguez to run Venezuela.
#DelcyRodríguez was defiant as she spoke on live television. “If there is one thing that the Venezuelan people & this country are clear about,” she said, “it is that we will never again be slaves, that we will never again be a colony of any empire, whatever its nature.”
“There is only one president in this country, & his name is Nicolás #Maduro Moros,” Rodríguez said.

#Venezuela VP #DelcyRodríguez, speaking on state television in Spanish, reiterated calls for the release of #Maduro & his wife.
She called for calm & unity to defend the country amid Maduro's "kidnapping" & said Venezuela will never be the #colony of any nation.
Rodríguez spoke from #Caracas with her brother, national assembly head Jorge Rodríguez, interior minister Diosdado Cabello & the foreign & defense ministers.

#Rodríguez addresses the nation [apparently in #Venezuela]
In a televised address to the nation that lasted less than 15 minutes, #DelcyRodríguez demanded the #US free #Maduro & calls him the country’s rightful leader, but left open the door for dialogue with the US.

Conflicting reports
Um… The VP of #Venezuela #DelcyRodriguez is currently in #Russia, 4 sources familiar with her movements said Saturday, after #Trump said #Maduro had been seized by US forces after an attack on the country & US Secy of #State #MarcoRubio was in contact with her & that she had been sworn in to the presidency.

Secy of #State #MarcoRubio said the “capture” of President #Maduro & his wife from #Venezuela was a “law enforcement” operation as a rationale for not going to #Congress, yet #Trump said the #US will now run the country & said “We’re not afraid of boots on the ground,” neither of which would be the result of a #LawEnforcement action.
Also AG #PamBondi was not included in the news conference announcing what would absolutely be the most significant #prosecution of her career.
#Trump spoke more about #oil than anything else. I don’t think I even heard him mention #democracy a single time. He vowed to fix #Venezuela’s oil infrastructure & said the #US plans to sell it to other countries [again, how is this legal?].
“We’re in the oil business. We’re going to sell it to them,” Trump said. he said oil companies will pay for the rebuilding of Venezuela’s oil infrastructure, & the wealth will pour in.
#law #abduction #LandGrab #sovereignty #WarCrimes #theft #piracy
Trump’s suggestion that Maduro’s VP, #DelcyRodríguez, would help the #US run the country literally came as #Venezuela state TV was playing a clip of her denouncing the US #military operation.
“Faced with this brutal situation & this brutal attack, we do not know the whereabouts of President Nicolás #Maduro & first lady Cilia Flores,” Rodríguez said. “We demand immediate proof of life for President Maduro & the first lady from the government of President Donald #Trump.”
#Trump also completely dismissed the idea of working with opposition leader & #NobelPeacePrize winner #MaríaCorinaMachado who actually won the last presidential #election in #Venezuela. Instead he said #MarcoRubio was in contact with Maduro’s VP #DelcyRodríguez. If this was even slightly about #Maduro being an illegitimate president, Rodríguez would also be illegitimate. This is so transparently about #oil it’s ridiculous.
#law #abduction #LandGrab #sovereignty #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw
The news conference is over. Despite multiple questions about how #Venezuela will be run, no details were provided.
#Trump repeatedly said “we’re gonna do” this & “we’re gonna do” that, but never gave info about HOW.
There were vague allusions to #MarcoRubio & Pete #Hegseth & a “group” but no specifics.
This is nuts.
