Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt We speak with civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong in Minneapolis as protests continue in the city following the killing of activist Renee Good last week. The ICE agent who fatally shot Good in her car has been identified as Jonathan Ross, an Iraq War veteran described by family and friends as a hardcore conservative Christian and MAGA supporter. This comes as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem continues to claim Good was engaged in "domestic terrorism." "Folks at the highest levels of government are perpetuating falsehoods … and working overtime to justify the brutal murder of Renee Good," says Levy Armstrong, who urges local authorities to arrest Ross.

Just one of the disgusting truths about this killing: ICE claim their henchman killed her in self-defense while she, the victim, was very clearly trying to get away from the aggressors to defend herself.

Protesters, we stand with you. It takes courage and heart to take action❤ The Hyena must be stopped NOW. "If you give a finger, they will take the whole hand".  The hand has already been devoured. Wake up, everyone. Greetings from Polish Woman in Spain. P.S. The Holocaust didn’t begin with murder, but with the slow erosion of human and international rights. We must never allow blatant lies to become normal. I ask myself: at what stage are we already? Together, we can change this. It’s time for politicians to serve us, not the other way around. This is the path back to humanity
