WASHINGTON, Jan 8 (Reuters) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents shot two people in Portland on Thursday afternoon, an ABC News affiliate reported, citing sources, adding the condition of the two people shot was not immediately known.

Soon "the shooting" updates will need specifiers.

Protesters chant and hold signs a few blocks from where shooting happened

That CNN update is for Minneapolis. I'm going to become The Joker.

Ross leaving the scene of the murder yesterday.

The ICE agent who murdered 37-year-old Minneapolis mum Renee Nicole Good has been identified – by his dire boss Kristi Noem and US vice-president JD Vance. His name is Jonathan David Ross, a decade-long ICE enforcer.

David Ross is the ICE murderer

In a press conference about the killing of Renee Good, Noem referred to another incident involving the same agent last year – and gave away enough detail that David Ross could be identified from court records. The June 2025 incident occurred in Bloomington, Minnesota, when Ross and other agents stopped Mexican citizen Roberto Munoz-Guatemala. When Munoz-Guatemala ignored the agents order to fully wind down his window – something that US residents are not obliged to do under US law, Ross broke open the car’s rear window and reached inside to unlock the door.

DHS has refused to disclose the identity of the killer, who was seen in footage of the murder pulling up a scarf to ensure his face was obscured as he left the scene. It has also declined to answer press enquiries.

David Ross’s murder of Good – in full view of outraged neighbours filming it – has sparked protests inn Minneapolis and across the US. The city’s mayor, Jacob Frey, said during a press conference yesterday:

To ICE: get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

The Trump regime continues to try to whitewash and even exploit the murder of Renee by David Ross. Noem described the victim as a domestic terrorist and White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt claimed Good died because of a “sinister, left-wing movement that has spread across our country.” The FBI has refused to allow Minneapolis law enforcement to investigate the murder.

Most servers around the world run Linux. The same goes for almost all supercomputers. That's astonishing in a capitalist world where absolutely everything is commodified. Why can't these big tech companies manage to sell their own software to server operators or supercomputers? Why is an open, free project that is free for users so superior here?

On topic after topic, President Trump made clear that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.

Its not like the American Revolution and Constitution are total rejections of this view or anything.

Socialists start from the view that all people are equal, regard national and individualistic chauvinism as contrary to our deep moral obligations, stress how we have more in common as finite, vulnerable human beings than what separates us, and want to use reason and science to build a better society for all. Fascists believe that people are fundamentally unequal from birth and become more so over time, insist that “higher” nations and races have special rights to preserve and strengthen themselves even at the expense of the weak, regard this as a reflection of the inner greatness that distinguishes them from lower forms of life, and reject humanism and rationalism in favor of a struggle for supremacy and domination. Their worldview thus licenses enormous violence against socialists and other “low” enemies.

I'm still waiting for my disability benefit appeal, the last I heard from them they said it would be delayed as they have a backlog. So I still really need help getting food, probably for the next few months, as I have no income. I've written before about how difficult it is to access the local food bank. My overdraft is maxxed out, I'm in debt and have no-one else to ask for help. All the agencies who used to offer financial assistance like Macmillan and the local council, no longer do. I can no longer take actual money due to upcoming bank account checks by the UK government.

You are all that stands between me and starving.

Federal immigration enforcement agents on Wednesday swarmed a high school in Minneapolis, where footage and photographs showed them handcuffing school staff members and firing chemical irritants at students.

According to a report from KSTP 5 Eyewitness News, the agents descended upon Roosevelt High School on Wednesday afternoon, mere hours after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shot 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good.

A witness who watched the raid described seeing administrators and staff trying to get the agents away from the building to stop them from apprehending students.

The witness also said that the agents began deploying pepper spray after some students started protesting against their presence on school property.

A Roosevelt High School official confirmed to MPR News that agents wearing US Border Patrol uniforms pepper sprayed students, while also firing pepper balls at them.

Video footage taken from the scene shows agents deploying chemical irritants at demonstrators.

The school official also told MPR News that the agents handcuffed two staff members at the school, and they described getting into a physical confrontation with an agent as they were trying to tell them to leave school property.

"The guy, I’m telling him like, ‘Please step off the school grounds,’ and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he’s trying to push me, and he knocked me down,” the official said. "They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.”

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week.

In the wake of the raid on the high school, Minneapolis Public Schools announced that it would be canceling all classes for the rest of the week "out of an abundance of caution," citing "safety concerns" for faculty and students.

Celia Mejia, a Minneapolis woman whose daughter attends the Green Central Elementary School in the southern part of the city, told KSTP 5 Eyewitness News that she had to pick up her daughter on Wednesday after the school went on lockdown after federal immigration agents were spotted in the area.

"That was way too close to school to feel comfortable," Mejia said.

Julia Haas, another local resident who picked up her child at the elementary school after it went into lockdown, told KSTP 5 Eyewitness News that she was "very" frightened by the ordeal.

"Nobody should have to deal with this ever," Haas emphasized.

The reasons for the raid on the high school were unclear, and the US Department of Homeland Security did not respond to KSTP Eyewitness 5 News' or MPR News' requests for comment.
