‘We Need To Kill These People’: Left-Wing TikTok User Calls For ‘More’ Violence Against ICE Agents

A left-wing TikTok user urged his followers to “get violent” and to “kill” United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a video that rapidly spread across social media Monday.

Resistance to ICE enforcement has grown more and more violent nationwide, with agents fired on and targeted in multiple states amid increasingly heated rhetoric. Tensions have only escalated further in the wake of Wednesday’s fatal shooting of Minnesota resident Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent during an enforcement operation in Minneapolis.

The TikTok user, who posts under the username monkeydbeans0 and uses they/them/theirs pronouns, said ICE agents are just mall cops and Proud Boys and cited Good’s death as justification for his call to murder federal agents.

“I’m just going to come out and say it. I don’t really care about the consequences anymore. I don’t care. We need to kill these people,” the green-haired TikTok user said. “There’s — there’s just no alternative.”

Dem Rep. Vindman: ‘Irony’ with Iranians Protesting, ‘What We See with ICE’ in U.S.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-VA) said that the United States should “support the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom and independence.” And the Iranian people are “protesting, largely peacefully, on the streets, and they’re being attacked and murdered. And I think there’s an irony, obviously, in what we see with ICE on America’s streets.”

Vindman said, “Well, first of all, I think we all recognize that the Iranian regime is an authoritarian regime that is suppressing its people. And I recognize that in my own family experience, we fled from a Communist authoritarian regime, and we need to support the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom and independence. They’re protesting, largely peacefully, on the streets, and they’re being attacked and murdered. And I think there’s an irony, obviously, in what we see with ICE on America’s streets.”

He continued, “But just to stay focused on Iran, I think it means putting enormous pressure on the regime so they recognize that suppressing their own population through violence is not going to work.”

Assaults On ICE Are ‘Highly Coordinated,’ While Local Law Enforcement Told to Stand Down

The Department of Homeland Security has surged federal law enforcement personnel into Minneapolis amid what officials describe as a sharp escalation in violence against officers operating in the city, which has been designated a sanctuary jurisdiction, according to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

McLaughlin said the deployment was necessary because sanctuary policies in Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota restrict cooperation between federal agents and local law enforcement, leaving DHS officers exposed while carrying out immigration enforcement operations.

“So what’s happening with Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota is it is a sanctuary city, so DHS law enforcement, we’re not allowed to engage with their local law enforcement,” McLaughlin said.

“We’re not allowed in their jails, and local law enforcement are not allowed to respond to backup to our officers.”

According to McLaughlin, those restrictions have coincided with what she described as a coordinated campaign of violence against federal officers.

“So what we’ve been seeing is a highly coordinated campaign of violence against our law enforcement officers,” she said.

‘Who is hiding behind these masks?’: Investigators want to know whether ICE is employing former Jan. 6 defendants, demand docs about ‘violent rioters’ hired by DHS

As controversies involving federal immigration agents pile up in multiple cities, congressional investigators are demanding to know whether the Trump administration has hired anyone who was previously pardoned for taking part in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

In a four-page letter on Monday, House Judiciary Democrats put the question directly – and in plain terms – to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

“How many pardoned January 6th insurrectionists have been hired by your respective departments?” the letter begins.

In the letter, Maryland Rep. and ranking member Jamie Raskin details how some in the orbit of Jan. 6 have since come to work for the DOJ itself in high-profile positions. Among such employees are pardoned ex-FBI supervisor Jared Wise, who now serves as senior adviser in the office of the Deputy Attorney General. Raskin also makes reference to “J6 enthusiast and defense counsel” Ed Martin, who currently serves as Associate Deputy Attorney General and the head of the DOJ’s “Weaponization Working Group.”

Still, those references – to Wise and Martin – merely preface Raskin’s overarching concern.

“We know that some participants in the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol have been rewarded with high-ranking positions in the Department of Justice,” the congressman said in a press release. “However, it remains unclear how many more have been invited to join the ranks of this Administration, including among the masked Department of Homeland Security agents and officers that have dragged, tackled, beaten, tased, shot, and killed citizens and non-citizens alike in communities around the country.”

No, ICE Agents Do Not Have ‘Absolute Immunity’ From State Prosecution

According to Vice President J.D. Vance, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis cannot be prosecuted for it by Minnesota officials. “The precedent here is very simple,” Vance declared. “You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action—that’s a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job.”

But the precedent is not actually so simple. In an 1890 case known as In re Neagle, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a federal marshal named David Neagle was “not liable to answer in the Courts of California” after he fatally shot the would-be assassin of a Supreme Court justice named Stephen Field during an attack on Field that occurred on a train traveling through California (Neagle was present as Field’s official bodyguard). “Under the circumstances,” the Court said, Neagle “was acting under the authority of the law of the United States, and was justified in so doing.” Therefore, “he is not liable to answer in the courts of California on account of his part in that transaction.”

Vance may have been thinking of In re Neagle when he claimed that ICE agents possess “absolute immunity” from state prosecution. However, In re Neagle was not the Supreme Court’s final word on the matter.

Antifa TikTok Agitator Urges Armed Leftist Militias to ‘Fight’ ICE Agents

Radical TikTok agitator Danesh Noshirvan has crossed a dangerous line.

The Antifa-aligned mega influencer is now openly calling for organized, armed left-wing militias to confront ICE agents and federal law enforcement in America’s largest cities.

Framing ICE as “Trump’s racist army,” Noshirvan urges followers to physically block agents and force them out of communities. The rhetoric is not abstract. It is operational. It is coordinated.

And it comes from a figure already tied to dark-money networks, digital harassment mobs, perjury, and federal sanctions.

This is not protest. It is incitement—packaged as “accountability,” powered by bots, and aimed at igniting street-level conflict.

Renee Good’s Minnesota ‘ICE Watch’ group shared manual detailing how to fight arrests, launch ‘a micro-intifada’

The Minnesota ICE Watch group of which slain Minneapolis protester Renee Good was a member shared a detailed manual providing instructions on fighting police officers to free arrested radicals from their grasp, comparing each “de-arrest” to a “micro-intifada.”

The “de-arrest primer” manual was reposted on Instagram in June by MN ICE Watch, part of a loose collective of agitators who teach members how to disrupt law enforcement officers performing their duties, including ICE agents.

Neighbors have told The Post that Renee Good had regularly attended meetings with the local chapter and had received “thorough training” from the group.

The manual — which says on the front cover it was published in the spring of 2024 — outlines four tactics for interfering with arresting officers, such as the best kind of grip to use while yanking someone in custody out of their hands, or even suggestions on “pushing and pulling an officer” off of an arrestee.

“Technically speaking for pushing off form you should have a low center of gravity and a wide base and push up explosive power with your head up at all times if possible,” the instruction guide reads.

Chaos Erupts as Hundreds of Somalis Storm ICE Operation at Strip Mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota

Hundreds of Somalis stormed an ICE operation in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on Monday after a Somali news station live streamed the raid.

ICE agents were surrounded by hundreds of Somalis blowing whistles and protesting as the officers conducted a raid on a Somali-owned business in a strip mall.

“ICE out! ICE out!” the mob of Somali protestors shouted.

Ice agents deployed tear gas to disperse the protestors after they blocked their vehicles from exiting the parking lot.

Democrat State Senator Aric Putnam was spotted amid the chaos trying to act like a barrier between the protestors and federal agents.

“Don’t even get close,” Putnam says as he pushes back on the protestors.

“It’s a stressful moment, a really intense confrontation. It’s a reasonable response when you see this in your neighborhood,” Democrat State Senator Aric Putnam said.

“The idea that you need 50 people with weapons and tear gas, and I’m not speaking real well because I got a little bit of pepper spray, those things are not needed for a normal, regular, authentic, genuine law enforcement operation,” Putnam whined.

According to CBS News, at least two people were arrested during the protest.

“Federal agents arrested one person as part of the raid, and later, two protesters in the parking lot. Many of the businesses there are run by the Somali community,” CBS reported.

House Dems Want Their Own Voters To Get Shot in Name of Trump Resistance

Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie and commentator Clay Travis discussed a resurfaced Axios report that detailed internal conversations among House Democrats about escalating confrontations at Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities as part of anti-Trump activism.

The exchange focused on the implications of the report, concerns over public safety, and the political motivations behind confrontational protest tactics.

Hasnie introduced the segment by citing the Axios reporting, describing it as alarming and newly circulating again online

“Axios story that made my jaw drop a couple of months ago, and it sort of come back online on the Twitter world, and this is what they wrote. They talked to Democrats who were talking to their constituents, and they were telling them to get shot for the anti Trump resistance. This is what one of those Democrats, House Democrats told Axios, some of them have suggested what we really need to do is be willing to get shot when visiting ice facilities or federal agencies. And then goes on to say our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not enough. There needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public. That’s coming from House Democrats. That’s what they’re hearing from their constituents,” Hasnie said.

The Axios report described Democratic lawmakers recounting pressure from activists who believed peaceful protests were insufficient and that violent or deadly confrontations would force greater media attention and political change.

The report did not attribute the statements to named lawmakers but cited them as direct comments provided to Axios.

Travis responded by criticizing what he described as a deliberate strategy to provoke dangerous encounters with federal law enforcement.

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Announce They’re Suing Trump Admin. to End Surge of ICE Agents – ICE Director Responds to Lawsuit

Minnesota’s top ‘law enforcement’ official and the two Twin City mayors today took a dramatic and unconstitutional step in their efforts to send ICE agents packing from the state following last week’s deadly ICE self-defense shooting.

As KTSP reported, crooked Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her have jointly sued the Trump administration over DHS agents enforcing immigration law in the Twin Cities.

The lawsuit filed by the trio seeks to completely end the so-called “unprecedented surge” of more than 2,000 federal agents deployed by the DHS.

The filing also alleges that the federal government has violated the 10th Amendment of the Constitution by removing Minnesota’s “right’ to police itself.”

During a press conference announcing the lawsuit, Ellison accused the DHS agents of causing “serious harm” and said the Trump Administration has launched a federal invasion.

“The deployment of thousands of armed, masked DHS agents to Minnesota has done our state serious harm,” Ellison alleged. “This is essentially a federal invasion of Minnesota and the Twin Cities, and it must stop.”
