New Minneapolis ICE Shooting Video, Philly Sheriff Warns ICE, Black Women Jobless Spike

A newly released video, taken from the perspective of one of the ICE officers involved in the shooting death of Renee Good, reportedly does not support their case. Retired FBI agent Steve Lazarus states that deadly force is not authorized merely to stop a fleeing suspect unless the vehicle is used as a weapon, which he believes the video does not show. The Hennepin County District Attorney has announced charges against officer Jonathan Ross.

The host states, 'This video... actually does not help them at all.' (06:12). Steve Lazarus, a retired FBI agent, explains, 'Deadly force is never authorized merely to stop a fleeing suspect. Yes, if a vehicle is being used as a weapon, that changes the analysis, but nothing in this video supports that.' (11:31). The Hennepin County DA confirmed officer Don Ross will be charged for Renee Good's death (10:38).

Philadelphia County Sheriff Rochelle Bilal publicly declared her office would arrest any ICE agents who commit crimes or engage in 'thuggish behavior' within her jurisdiction. She criticized federal agents for wearing masks, lacking identification, shooting at moving vehicles, and operating without proper local coordination, stating that 'real' law enforcement professionals do not act this way. She also highlighted that ICE agents receive only 47 days of training, questioning their competence.

Sheriff Bilal states, 'ICE do not bring your thuggish behavior to my county or we're going to put you in jail.' (06:57). She adds, 'No law enforcement professional wears a mask. None. Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... I'm saying now, we are not going to whisk you away for them to hide your identity.' (23:42). She also notes, 'I get this information that they get 47 days of training. 47? That means they don't even know what they're doing out here in our neighborhoods.' (28:40).

The economy under the Trump administration is characterized by significantly reduced job creation, with only an estimated 500,000 jobs created in 2025, a stark contrast to previous years. Job growth is concentrated in sectors like social assistance and healthcare, rather than robust manufacturing or innovation. Overall unemployment has increased year-over-year, with Black unemployment being particularly high and individuals remaining unemployed for longer periods. Tariffs and restrictive immigration policies are cited as factors contributing to economic decline and increased costs for businesses and consumers.

Morgan Harper states, 'There were only about 500,000 jobs created for the whole year. To compare under President Biden's last year in 2024 is about 2 million.' (1:03:45). She adds, 'Unemployment is up overall from where we were at this point last year... And particularly black unemployment is is much much higher from this point last year.' (1:04:55). Michael Mhilte mentions, 'Trump's proposed tariffs on imports and tighter immigration policies would would really destroy the economy.' (1:10:27).

Bishop William Barber emphasizes the necessity of nationalizing state-level movements and engaging in 'micro-organizing' to achieve political change. He highlights that low voter turnout among Black and poor/low-wage infrequent voters (hundreds of thousands in key states) represents a significant untapped power. By focusing on direct engagement, connecting people's economic pain to their political power, and mobilizing voters at the local level (neighborhoods, blocks, houses), communities can upset electoral calculations and influence policy.

Bishop Barber states, 'Over 300,000 black that were registered and had voted infrequently didn't vote. Over 1.7 million poor and lowwage people who had voted were registered but voted infrequently didn't vote.' (1:27:31). He advocates for 'microorganizing' (1:29:16) and says, 'If you jin up 10% of just black folk who didn't engage in the last election and then jin up 10% of poor and low-wage people that didn't engage around an election, you can flip almost any state.' (1:46:05).

Congresswoman Summer Lee criticized Republican-led congressional hearings as a 'hypocritical witch hunt' targeting blue states and immigrant populations under the guise of fraud prevention. She argued that the Trump administration systematically undermined federal oversight mechanisms by firing inspectors general and attacking whistleblowers, making genuine fraud detection more difficult. Lee asserted that Republicans use fraud claims as an excuse to cut vital social programs like Medicaid, CHIP, and SNAP, rather than improving their oversight capabilities.

Congresswoman Summer Lee states, 'The tone of this hearing seems to be a hypocritical witch hunt... Republicans have cherrypicked a blue state and an immigrant population vulnerable uh to demonize.' (2:10:09). She adds, 'Trump has attacked the oversight mechanisms within the federal government. He illegally fires 17 inspectors uh general and other key uh personnel.' (2:11:11). She concludes, 'This hearing is not an effort by Republicans to improve social service programs. It's an excuse to end them and to punish Democratic states.' (2:12:35).
