The only appropriate answer to this murderous violence is to expand the general strike.

The day after a historic general strike by the people of Minnesota, federal agents involved in Trump’s mass deportation campaign have committed yet another shocking act of deadly violence. Video footage from this morning shows federal agents in south Minneapolis wrestling a man to the ground, pinning him on the sidewalk, and shooting him multiple times while he was restrained and fully surrounded by officers who were striking him. Authorities confirmed shortly after that the victim had been killed.

The only appropriate answer to this murderous violence is to expand the general strike. The entire country was electrified at the moving images of massive unity and resistance from the Twin Cities yesterday. Federal agents have answered this mobilization with yet another murder. Now, the struggle must widen and grow stronger than ever.

Trump has unleashed a wave of terror nationwide. ICE and Border Patrol are the frontline enforcers of his racist campaign to expel huge numbers of people from the country that this white supremacist administration considers “incompatible with western civilization”. In the pursuit of this horrifying mission, federal cops have been given a license to kill with impunity.

Trump plans to continue his ICE invasions city by city, sending in thousands of agents to rip families apart and murder anyone who stands in their way. Just yesterday, the people of the Twin Cities showed the way. The people need to use our power to shut down business as usual and make it impossible for this reign of terror to continue.
