Residents are sending a clear message about the violent deportations taking place across the US this midterm cycle

Minnesota voters left “I Voted” stickers on memorial sites for Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, the two US citizens killed by federal immigration officials earlier this year.

Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse at the Veterans Affairs medical center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Good, a writer and mother of three, were killed during a large-scale immigration enforcement operation in the Minneapolis region in January.

Donald Trump’s aggressive and violent mass deportation campaign has been a key issue for voters across the country during this midterm cycle, and has played a large part in Minnesota’s election.

    No, I think it’s outdated info. They definitely started out that way when they were an independent militia pre-2014, no argument here, but modern researchers and historians say that’s no longer the case. The Kremlin disagrees, of course. I have no doubt there are still Neo-Nazis in there, but to say that makes it an openly Neo-Nazi battalion… there are Jews and Muslims fighting in that brigade too, if that means anything to you. I guess you’ll just have to decide for yourself who’s more credible, the defenders or the invaders.

      That means nothing to me, why would they be okay with swastika flags and Hitler tattoos?

      That’s not how it works, first off I don’t want my tax dollars going to Nazis. Second it should be investigated before any NATO support and so on
