However multiple videos and sworn witness statements prove that Trump, Bovino, Noem, and Patel are lying.
see: Philadelphia Inquirer, Guardian, NYT, Washington Post, and even (!) Wall Street Journal (see: "Videos contradict US Account of Minneapolis Shooting by Federal Agents" https://www.wsj.com/us-news/videos-contradict-u-s-account-of-minneapolis-shooting-by-federal-agents-fbe1e488 )
Trump's military occupation of an American city continues to be illegal and unconstitutional. Trump continues to look for an excuse to invoke the ancient 1882 Insurrection Act in order to seize absolute power by force.
Trump's murders of American citizens are, of course, only the tip of the iceberg -- the most visible part -- of crimes committed by a vast lawless secret police and prison system that Trump networks continue to expand in order to stay in power regardless of the wishes of American voters. (see Guardian: "2025 was ICE’s deadliest year in two decades. Here are the 32 people who died in custody" )
The DHS murders of Rene Good and Alex Pettri have also highlighted the question: If this is what Trump thugs do to white American citizens in view of us all, what are they doing to others in the secrecy of their prisons to which they illegally refuse access to elected officials?
The bravery and decency of Minnesotans is exposing Trump's fascism and providing a stark contrast to the cowardly behavior of so many wealthy and powerful in America. (such as Tim Cook of Apple who was scheduled to sit with Trump to see the Bezos-financed Melania film the day of the murder, see: The Hollywood Reporter "White House Holding VIP ‘Melania’ Screening Ahead of Doc Premiere With Mike Tyson, Tim Cook..."
As grief and outrage at the murders and the Trump administration's obvious lies was spreading, Pam Bondi wrote to Minnesota officials demanding that Minnesota hand over its VOTING ROLLS with social security numbers and party affiliation as a condition to remove the masked and violent DHS thugs from the state. (see CBS News: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bondi-minnesota-voter-rolls-welfare-data-walz-immigration-shootings/ and Democracy Docket for explanations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK8A8gTmD1I
There are plenty of places to get reliable information about what is happening. Anyone who believes the Trump administration's lies is simply choosing to do so in the face of overwhelming evidence.
