#Minnesota Governor Tim Walz delivered a stark address warning that what is unfolding across #Communities in his state is no longer a matter of #Immigration enforcement, but an abuse of #Power by the #FederalGovernment. Walz described thousands of armed, masked #ICE #Agents operating in #Neighborhoods, #Schools, #GroceryStores, and #TransitStops, stopping people indiscriminately, demanding #Papers from #Residents including #USCitizens, and carrying out #Detentions without #DueProcess.
From a #LGBTQ perspective, this moment raises urgent #Concerns. History shows that expansions of #Surveillance, #Policing, and #Enforcement disproportionately harm #Queer people, #Trans people, #Immigrants, #PeopleOfColor, and other #MarginalizedGroups. Walz framed the situation as a campaign of #StateViolence and #Authoritarianism, where #Fear and #Chaos are used as tools of #Control.
The governor also referenced the death of Renee Nicole Goode, criticizing the #TrumpAdministration for attacking the #Victim and her #Family instead of pursuing #Accountability. He noted the resignation of multiple #FederalProsecutors, citing threats to the #Constitution, #CivilRights, and the #RuleOfLaw. Walz warned that escalating #Rhetoric about #Retribution targets Minnesotans who exercised their #RightToVote.
Walz urged #PeacefulProtest, #Documentation, and #MutualAid, reminding residents of their right to film #ICEActivity to create a #Record and preserve #Evidence. He framed #CommunityCare, #Solidarity, and #Witnessing as acts of #Resistance.
What is happening in #Minnesota is a warning to the rest of the #Country. When #Democracy erodes and #Cruelty becomes #Policy, it rarely stops at one place. The question now is whether #People choose #Silence or stand up for #HumanDignity, #Justice, and #Freedom before this becomes the #Normal.

In addition to Biggs, another fmr #FarRight #ProudBoys ldr #ZacharyRehl was #sentenced today. Rehl is to serve 15 years in #prison, after a #jury #convicted him of #SeditiousConspiracy for storming the US Capitol in a failed bid to overturn #Trump's #2020election defeat.
The prison terms handed down by US Dist Judge Timothy Kelly for #Biggs & #Rehl, …sentenced for the #Jan6, 2021, attack, were below US #SentencingGuidelines & far lower than the 33-yr & 30-yr terms sought by #FederalProsecutors.

The #January6thCommittee will likely make #criminalreferrals (recommendations for criminal prosecution) to the #DOJ . Such referrals carry no legal weight and serve merely as a statement that the committee found criminality. The statements are important for history and the current public to know. While some #federalprosecutors dislike referrals, believing that they’d taint any related prosecution with politics, any such prosecution would be attacked as political anyway. #DontCaveToLiars #justice
