  SPEAKER_02: Who are these people?
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_03: I've got a story here and it was going to originally just be the lightning round.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_03: But what I found was a theme and I was able to put four stories together specific
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_03: to ICE and some of the shit ICE is doing right now,
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_03: like literally in the last day or so.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_03: And this is incredibly alarming.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_03: And it's just yet another escalation.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_03: And this comes from attorney Aaron Reichland Melnick.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_03: We've brought a lot of stuff from.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_03: He's an immigration attorney who's been looking out for the persecuted people
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_03: that have been chased after and and prosecuted by ICE.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_03: So this is unbelievable.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_03: The first the first part of this had to do with we talked about deporting people
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_03: to third party countries in Africa.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_03: But they were literally doing it without even telling them where they were going.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_03: Or the fact that it was like one of the territories that
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_03: the State Department was telling people,
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_03: warning people against travel to because there was civil unrest or it was dangerous
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_03: for travelers.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_03: So here,
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_03: the First Circuit upholds a lower court order requiring ICE to actually tell people
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_03: before it sticks them on a plane in shackles to a random country they've never heard
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_03: of before or been to and allow them to raise very real fears of torture
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_03: and persecution in those third countries.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_03: And here's one, risk of torture in Equatorial Guinea.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_03: Risk of torture for unlawfully detained men.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_03: We have some difficulty seeing how
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_03: a receiving country can credibly provide blanket assurances
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_03: that all removed non-citizens will not be persecuted or tortured there
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_03: unless it intends to provide them with some sort of affirmative protection
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_03: against rogue agents and non-state actors who can be persecutors within the meaning
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_03: of this other statute.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_03: Crazy stuff.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_03: They have to tell you.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_03: Wait, they're required to tell you where they're going to send you?
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's the bottom line basic minimums.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_03: And that ICE was doing this already and had to be ordered by a court not to.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_03: Next.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_03: This one came out yesterday.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_03: And this has now been confirmed by multiple people and multiple attorneys.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_03: New from the AP.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_03: ICE is now electronically disappearing people in the agency's custody
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_03: who have final orders of removal.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_03: What?
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_03: As of last week,
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_03: anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will not appear in
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_03: the online detainee locator system, making them effectively vanish.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_03: That's right, Descent.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_03: 16,000 people disappeared from ICE tracking overnight.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_03: Horrible.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_03: ISIS new policy is unprecedented.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_03: People who have been detained for months are suddenly disappearing from
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_03: the locator system even if they haven't been moved anywhere.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_03: And people newly arrested are not showing up at all.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_03: They're in a location now hidden from view.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_03: That means their families and their lawyers also can't find them.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_03: Here's...
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_03: Someone who says genuinely,
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_03: how long will it take before we start finding the mass graves of people who will die
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_03: in ICE custody?
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_03: And he said, that is not my fear with this policy.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_03: My fear is that people will be unable to access their lawyers
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_03: and will be deported either legally or illegally solely
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_03: because no one could get them in time to file a legal motion.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_03: Red alert, red alert.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_03: Eric Lee,
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_03: another attorney online, says,
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_03: sure enough,
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_03: here's what shows up when I search for one of our clients detained with
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_03: a final order.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_03: He's been locatable for the past several months of detention.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_03: Disappearance is now evidently the official policy of the U.S. government.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_03: Imagine you had a relative stuck in one of these facilities with a final order of deportation.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_03: Now you don't know where they are,
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_03: you can't reach them,
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_03: and who knows how they're ever going to find a way back to you or to reach you.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_03: How they'll be able to afford a phone call from wherever they are, or a way to get online.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my God.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, wow.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_03: It's so heavy.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_03: Now, on top of that, we know that yesterday in, or the other day in, what was it, Austin?
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_03: Down in Texas,
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_03: a 28-year-old DoorDash driver named Wilbur was shot in the back and then disappeared
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_03: by ice.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_02: Here's his lawyer.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: Let's listen to this.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: Crazy.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: This is from Eyes
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_03: on Ice.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's Monday, September 21st at 722 Central Time.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: This is about the case of Wilbur who was shot by ICE.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: He was discharged from the hospital four hours after he was shot into ICE custody.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: I have not received any updates from ICE about his status or his condition
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: and neither has his wife.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: She slept with her phone underneath her pillow all night and is desperate
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: for information and this is where you come in I need your help spreading this far
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: and wide.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: ICE needs to get in touch with me.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: Wilbur's lawyer today to let me know how he is doing.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: Where is he?
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: What is his condition?
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Is he receiving proper medical care?
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: That needs to occur today.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: I have submitted my G28 through the email inbox to ICE, to ERO.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: You know how to reach me.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: You can find me anywhere.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not difficult to find.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: We need to make a public call to ICE to stop disappearing Wilbur.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: And let his wife know where he is and how he is doing.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: Please share this video as far and wide as you can.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: Today, this morning, we need an update on Wilbur.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_03: So here's the story on Wilbur.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_03: Who is Wilbur?
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_03: Wilbur Rafael Garces Perez.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_03: DoorDash worker.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_03: DoorDash worker shot by ICE in Austin.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_03: The mechanisms of state custody rely on silence,
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_03: and right now that silence is being used to obscure the whereabouts and condition of
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_03: a shooting victim.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_03: We're activating the network this morning to amplify an urgent call
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_03: for transparency regarding an alarming incident in Austin, Texas.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_03: Again, this is from Eyes on Ice, E-Y-E-S on Ice dot net.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_03: Subscribe to this.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_03: It's on Substack.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_03: As of 722 a.m.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_03: Central Time on Monday,
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_03: September 21st,
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_03: Wilbur's legal counsel issued a public plea after being met with
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_03: a total information blackout from ICE.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_03: Wilbur was shot by ICE agents.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_03: In a deeply concerning escalation,
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_03: he was discharged from Del Seton Medical Center a mere four hours after sustaining
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: the gunshot wound and was immediately transferred into ICE custody.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_03: Since that rapid transfer,
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_03: the agency has refused to provide any updates regarding his status,
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_03: his physical condition, or his location.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_03: This deliberate silence extends not only to his legal representation, but to his family.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_03: Wilbur's wife,
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_03: Elidzar,
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_03: slept with her phone beneath her pillow, desperate for any fragment of info.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: His attorney,
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: Kate Lincoln Goldfinch,
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_03: who we just saw in that video,
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_03: submitted her forms to Despite following former legal protocol,
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_03: the agency failed to reach out to let his lawyer know how he's doing,
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_03: where he's being held, or if he's receiving proper medical care.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_03: Now, remember,
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_03: we just talked about earlier,
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_03: later on that day,
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_03: this now became policy across the entire country,
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_03: and 16,000 people were disappeared.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_03: Here you go.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_03: In heated political climate, Lincoln Goldfinch fights for the rights to exist without fear.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_03: So this is an article that she had written here about the shooting.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_03: Had happened.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_03: Here we go.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_03: She met Eleazar at the shooting scene,
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_03: went with her to the hospital,
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_03: was thrown off the property,
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_03: while staff denied that Wilbur was even a patient, even though he was.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_03: Only after the Austin mayor intervened and did a hospital attorney confirm
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_03: the 4.30 p.m. handoff to ICE.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_03: This is all being done in secret now.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_03: They don't want anybody knowing where these people are going, what they're doing with them.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_03: Because they want, I mean, nothing good ever happens onto this shit.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_03: They're doing this because they're trying to hide stuff.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_03: As we covered in the Eyes on Ice Mutual Aid Workshop,
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_03: this is exactly how the system isolates people and severs their access to advocacy.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_03: We cannot let them disappear, Wilbur.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_03: Ice must be forced to contact his attorney today to disclose his location
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_03: and verify his condition.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_03: The shooting happened around 1256 in the afternoon Sunday at Anderson Square
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_03: and Research Boulevard in North Austin.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_03: Wilbur was making a DoorDash delivery in a blue Toyota Corolla.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_03: Local EMS reported a torso wound and serious but stable condition.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_03: His attorney had described photos showing he was shot in the back below the neck.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_03: Hospital staff and security blocked his wife and lawyer.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_03: Then ICE took him.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_03: And that's the car.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_03: By mid-morning Monday,
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_03: Attorney Kristen Etter told the Austin American statesman that Wilbur was being held
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_03: at the South Texas Ice Processing Center in Pearsall,
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_03: about 135 miles southwest of Austin.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_03: That doesn't close the case.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_03: Counsel still needs confirmed medical status,
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_03: attorney access, and an end to the locator blackout.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_03: Pearsall is a geo-group contract facility.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_03: A man with a fresh gunshot wound being moved there after
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_03: a four-hour hospital dump is the custody machine doing what it's built to do,
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_03: isolate, delay, and control the narrative.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_03: His legal counsel has asked that this call to action and
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_03: the accompanying video be shared as far and wide as possible to force
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_03: the agency's hand.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_03: Amplification is the tool against this bureaucratic vanishing act.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_03: Share the details.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_03: Keep the spotlight on Austin ERO and on Pearsall.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_03: Demand ICE contact Kate Lincoln Goldfinch today with Wilbur's location,
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_03: medical condition, and proof that he's receiving care.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_03: Wilbur was working.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_03: His wife wanted him to stay home.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_03: He went out to earn money.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_03: ICE shot him, yanked him from a trauma bay, and tried to make him unfindable.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_03: That's not enforcement.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_03: That's the disappearance protocol.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_02: Share the photos.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_03: Name him.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_03: Name the lawyer.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_03: Don't let the blackout win the morning.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, again, this is happening daily.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_03: And I got two more things here.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_03: This is another important one from Minnesota.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_03: Minnesota!
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_03: Unicorn Riot is another Indie Media Award honoree.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_03: Does excellent investigative work.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: And actually the guy on the Indie Media Word page holding the mic with the flag,
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_03: the unicorn riot flag, is Nico Georgiatis, who wrote this article.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_03: Vice agent charged for shooting and lying appears in Minnesota state and federal courts.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: And the judge was having none of it.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_03: Holy shit.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_03: Facing four felony assault charges and federal charges for lying to the FBI over
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_03: a shooting in Minneapolis,
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_03: 52-year-old recently suspended ICE agent Christian Castro made appearances
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_03: in Minnesota state and federal courts last Thursday and Friday.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_03: Castro's case has been politically contentious
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_03: as officials have battled
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_03: over extraditing the federal agent from his home state of Texas to face charges
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_03: in Minnesota.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_03: He's the second nice agent criminally charged
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_03: by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty's office for sanctions for actions during
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_03: the deadly Operation Metro siege surge in Minneapolis.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_03: The first was Greg Morgan Jr.,
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_03: who allegedly pointed his handgun at people in traffic in February.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_03: What's amazing is that the guy who shot Renee Freddie and Alex Good,
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_03: both of those guys, they won't be prosecuted.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_03: Castro's criminal charges evolved from a January 14th shooting incident during
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_03: the height of the federal occupation.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_03: After a car chase and a man he was following fled into a residence,
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_03: Castro fired a shot through the front door,
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_03: wounding someone who was not being chased,
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_03: Julio Sosa Celis, and endangered other occupants, including children.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_03: But worse,
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_03: the shooting led to a large and sustained community response
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_03: that ultimately pushed out authorities and ransacked a few cars that they left
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_03: behind, uncovering sensitive operational details abandoned by the agency.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_03: That's a whole other story in itself.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_03: But crazy was that Castro...
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, that's the cop.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_03: The cop has been charged in state and federal court for providing a false account
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_03: of what occurred, lying that he was attacked by men with a shovel and broom.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_03: Stosa Celis,
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_03: who suffered a gunshot wound to the leg,
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_03: and another two men from Venezuela were federally charged with assault and jailed
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_03: over Castro's life for months.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_03: On January 5th,
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_03: he shot into their house chasing somebody else,
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_03: shot this guy, and they ended up in jail.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sure you remember this case.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_03: I remember this case too.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_03: On January 15th,
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_03: DHS published a press release calling them violent,
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_03: criminal, illegal aliens who violently beat a law enforcement officer with weapons.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_03: None of that is true.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_03: Federal charges were later dropped.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_03: The press release remains online with no correction.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_03: Just so that in case anyone ever does look this guy up, it still smears his reputation.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_03: He should sue the federal government.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_03: In early April,
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_03: the city of Minneapolis released a video from a city-owned camera on 24th
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_03: and Lindale Avenues that contradicted Castro's story that he had fired
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_03: a defensive shot to save his life.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_03: Shortly after a 911 call came in about ICE agents in a vehicle pursuit,
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_03: Minneapolis police officers took remote control of the camera and pointed it at
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_03: the home as the action commenced.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_03: Four months after the shooting on May 18th,
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_03: Hennepin County charged Castro with four counts of felony second-degree assault with
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_03: a dangerous weapon, along with a misdemeanor for falsely reporting a crime.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_03: A nationwide arrest warrant was then issued for Castro.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_03: Eleven days later,
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_03: Castro was arrested in Texas to be extradited to Minnesota to face his charges.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yet, because Castro never signed a waiver of extradition
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_03: and Governor Greg Abbott declined to sign his extradition warrant,
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_03: Cameron County Sheriff Manuel Trevino released Castro
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_03: without conditions 90 days later.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_03: Before the 90-day limit to Texas could hold Castro expired,
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_03: Minnesota AG Keith Ellison,
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_03: who we don't like, sued Abbott to force him to sign the warrant.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_03: A judge denied the order.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_03: After Castro's release,
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_03: Ellison stated that, quote,
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_03: Greg Abbott is playing the political game of turning Texas into a sanctuary state
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_03: for accused felons and violent criminals.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_03: Using the word sanctuary state is very funny.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_03: Abbott then threatened to send immigrants to Minnesota in the future as he's done
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_03: with New York, D.C., and Chicago, usually in the freezing cold without shoes.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_03: A few days later,
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_03: Castro was federally charged with six counts of making materially false statements
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_03: in violation of 18 U.S.C.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_03: 1001 and was given a September 18th court date to appear in Minnesota.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_03: So after he drove to Minnesota last week from Texas where he resides,
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_03: he was arrested by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Agents
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_03: while visiting his lawyer and booked into the Hennepin County Jail.

• 18:05

• 18:10

• 18:15
  SPEAKER_03: to surrender his passport,
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_03: sign a waiver of extradition, and submit to electronic home monitoring.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_03: Moriarty said they intend to proceed with state prosecution,
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_03: while a separate federal prosecution also moves forward with similar conditions
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_03: of release.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_03: This guy should be going away for a long time.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_03: He shot into an innocent person's house,
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_03: chasing a suspect,
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_03: a suspect,
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_03: not somebody who was guilty necessarily,
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_03: but a suspect, and injured someone else, lied about it, got that guy thrown in jail.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_03: This guy should be thrown in the fucking hole and forgotten about.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_03: Ellison said Minnesota would dismiss its lawsuit against Greg Abbott now
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_03: that Castro's back in Minnesota and has signed the extradition waiver.

  SPEAKER_02: Pussy!

  SPEAKER_03: Fuck Texas.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_03: They are a sanctuary state for ICE agents that murder people.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_03: I'll bet that's where the guy that shot Rene Good is right now.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_03: According to Castro's criminal complaint,
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_03: FBI agents initially agreed to conduct a joint investigation with investigators from
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_03: the BCA and conducted one joint interview before informing the BCA
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_03: that they had been directed to cease working with them.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_03: The complaint states that
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_03: the federal authorities have prevented any further interviews
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_03: of involved federal agents.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know why they would do that.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_03: This division between local and federal governments remains the same for
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_03: the investigations into the killings of Rene Good,
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_03: which happened a week before the shooting of Sosa Celis,
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_03: as well as Alex Peretti, which occurred a week after.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_03: Castro's state course number is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

  SPEAKER_03: Again, this was from Nico Georgianis at Unicorn Riot.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_03: So shout out to him for covering this and shout out to Minnesota for actually trying
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_03: to hold the dirty cops accountable.
• 20:21

  SPEAKER_03: I'm a paid annual subscriber to this publication.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_03: Anxiety from immigration enforcement is reaching a breaking point.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_03: That is the understatement of the hour for sure.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_03: Despite the flood of immigration-related news and social media content
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_03: since Trump took office in 2025,
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_03: many are missing the national tension created by federal government overreach.
• 20:53

• 21:35
  SPEAKER_03: the lightning round initially.
