[Oe List ...] A post to the Order/ICA website - a favor!

[Ken Fisher]

Dear Katherine,

The witness of Minneapolis is now being discussed on Canadian social media as a guide to our future behaviour.

The Canadian Government has publicly ordered our Military to make preparations to defend ourselves against a US invasion. 50% of our population thinks this is a real possibility in the coming year.

While I see many signs of a new world order balancing American fascism and aggression, this is where we are at.

Love, Ken

You have heard about it and I cannot fully convey the level of fear, anger and grief that controls the city after two deaths and the constant threats of taking people away without documentation, many of whom are citizens.

>> We want you to stop funding for ICE and their aggressive actions in the upcoming budget vote. This means separating out Dept of Homeland Security funds from the broader budget bill and eliminating their violent, aggressive and unlawful behavior. We are asking this because:
>>

>>  
>> -              Statements made by Kristi Noem of Homeland Security and Greg Bovino of Border Patrol are blatantly false as they tell viewers to deny what they are seeing in video.
>>  
>> -              Sixty per cent of those being detained are people of color (even police officers) and are being held in horrendous conditions, detaining them from a few hours to a few days and releasing them without identification, phones or coats in weather often below zero.
>>  
>> -              Fourth amendment rights are being disregarded as agents are instructed to  enter homes and cars – often violently - and take people off the street without warrants or due cause.
>>  
>> -              In the Pretti killing on Saturday, federal agents refused to honor  the warrant from the  MN Dept of Public Safety, forcing the  filing of a  a lawsuit so they wouldn’t destroy evidence. Impartial review of murder is an ordinary, expected process.
>>  
>> -              Mpls school attendance is at 50% because children are afraid to go to school.
>>  
>> This blatant disregard for rights must stop or we will see this kind of military action all over. Thank you for your help and attention in this matter.
