They ‘Had Done Everything Right.’ ICE Detained Them Anyway.
We profiled refugees who:
Arrived in the country legally.
Applied for green cards.
Were arrested by ICE and detained.
One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released.
This is an unprecedented operation.

Sources identify man shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti of south Minneapolis
The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis.
At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man with no serious criminal history and a record that showed some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history.
O'Hara said the man was a "lawful gun owner" with a permit. Records show that Pretti attended the University of Minnesota. State records show Pretti was issued a nursing license in 2021, and it remains active through March 2026.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was the victim’s name.
He was a nurse.
ICE executed a nurse.

Trump Vineyard Seeks To Hire Foreign Workers At Lower Wages
Records show the Trump Organization has requested over 2,000 foreign workers since 2008. Its latest request seeks a $13.90 hourly wage—the lowest the winery has offered since 2021.
🚨 In Nov., Trump's Labor Dept. lowered the minimum wage for foreign farmworkers.
A month later, Trump's winery filed to hire 36 foreign, temporary workers.
The rate? Almost $2/hour less than in 2025.

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings
A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.
WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:
* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon
The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

"Restricted" is the wrong word, clearly.
What Musk has actually done is make the undressing of any woman or child on the platform an EXCLUSIVE feature for paying subscribe. He's made it a subscriber perk. This is some of the most fucked-up shit ever.
