This is BIG. These are the first charges relating to an incident that occurred during an enforcement operation.* The officers involved were accused of lying under oath about this shooting, as the Trump admin admitted.
*the previous indictment involved an ICE agent who road raged while on duty.

Gripping. Horrifying. The ending is a gut punch.

We stand in solidarity with the Star Tribune Guild and join them in their call for the newspaper’s management to reverse this deeply harmful decision.
The federal government circulated a "Be on the Lookout" alert to law enforcement across the country targeting comedian Ben Palmer. He didn't know about it until I told him. New story with @injusticewatch.org, co-published with @us.theguardian.com:
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota prosecutor on Monday announced charges against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration’s crackdown in Minnesota.
Delighted and shocked to learn last night that we won a National Magazine Award for some of our immigration reporting - including our story on how the Venezuelan men Trump sent to a Salvadoran prison were tortured, and on the dramatic midnight raid in Chicago. 😃
