‘Outrageous’: #Trump Officials Investigated #LeftWing Groups After #AlexPretti Killing in #Minneapolis
One #FirstAmendment advocacy group called the investigation a “disturbing, invasive, and utterly unjustifiable attack on freedom of expression and political dissent.”
Julia Conley
Aug 13, 2026"The Trump administration began the probe under the auspices of investigating whether the groups had provided 'help and money,' as the Times reported, to people who had participated in protests across the #MinneapolisSaintPaul area, where tens of thousands of residents rallied against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) and defended their neighbors from immigration raids last winter.
"Newly released government documents, which were uncovered after an attorney filed a motion with the federal District Court in Minnesota demanding information about the DHS investigation, show that the agency characterized the protesters who opposed ICE as 'violent opportunists and agitators.'
"The investigation included #DHS’ use of administrative subpoenas to obtain financial records from #SunriseMovement, Communications Workers of America [ #CWA ], and the #SEIU, scrutinizing what the agency called 'domestic terrorist financing.' "

Can recommend the Laucke #CWA scone mix. Small donation goes to the Country Women's Association of South Australia, all I had to measure out was water, my girlfriend was delighted and so was the cat. 10/10.
The box says "Makes delicious 20 large scones", and I got 18 out of the first batch using half the mix. I guess I could've picked a bigger cutter, but these were good as bite-size snacks.

For N. American game workers who want to support this initiative, you can join #UVW #CWA, get involved in the fight to organize our industry. This fund comes directly from membership dues and as we grow, it enables us to take on more ambitious initiatives to improve our industry in the coming years.
