  • The true cost of on-the-ground reporting? Around $25,000 a month—and that's without a corporate safety net.
  • Is there really 'two sides' to a government killing? One side is buried beneath icy winds of truth.
  • Solidarity isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifeline for communities torn apart by immigration policies and injustice.
  • From Milwaukee to Minneapolis, grassroots resistance transforms local grief into a nationwide chorus for justice.

Full transcript with timestamps

All right. Hello everyone. This is JT Saskowski reporting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for Status Coup and in partnership with the Midas Touch Network. Behind me is the parking lot and just off to the side of me here is the actual building, a federal government building here on Milwaukeee's north side. Notably, it is home to the ICE field office here in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. This this building has been under construction now for uh several weeks or months at this point, but those renovations are wrapping up. And it is here that will be an ice processing facility. And it's also here, I'm going to step behind the camera and show you what's going on out here cuz I am without John. It is just me today as we give John the time off and our other crew is up in Minneapolis. But here is going to play host to a uh series of speeches right here behind me at this podium here behind me, followed by a

silent vigil for Renee Good and Alex Prey, who of course were shot and killed by immigration enforcement agents from the Trump administration. And it's part of what is meant to be a show of nationwide solidarity with the people of Minneapolis and the Twin Cities area and the state of Minnesota, which continues to navigate just hellish waters as their communities continue to be victimized by immigration agents, by these goons from the Trump administration that are pulling apart communities and pulling apart families.

So, I'm going to step behind the camera here. And with uh some of the limited mobility that my camera has right now since it is connected to our live equipment, I'll show around here. We're expecting uh speeches from some of these faith leaders that you are seeing standing here. And then the small uh group of protesters and demonstrators who have assembled themselves and are beginning to mass up out here. We should have a a crowd of a few dozen out here. I'm going to pan back around to this podium and I'll be live here with you for about the next hour until um a similar a similar vigil begins in Minneapolis. And uh the purpose of our coverage out here today is just to show that what is happening in Minneapolis is not happening in a vacuum. that there are cities across this country right now, people across this country who are standing in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis. But I do I do want to

get to some news that has happened out here. But uh that we have just gotten here in the last hour or so, some new reporting from ProPublica on Alex Py's shooting. Before I get to that, I do want to remind everyone that the importance of showing this act of solidarity is to show like that places like Milwaukee are standing in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis and the Twin Cities area is meant from us here at Status Coup and the Midas Touch Network to show that it is not just the entire nation standing on the side of the Trump administration and then just the people of Minneapolis standing up against it. is to show that there is a broad-based movement happening in this country right now, one of resistance to the Trump administration and its immigration and deportation agenda. We're very proud that with our small team, we are able to bring you live reporting from two cities in one day. I'm on the ground here in

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And we'll have our team up there in Minneapolis uh going live here in about an hour, like I said, in about an hour to show you uh what is actually happening on the ground there. But we're able to do this with just our small team of about six people plus a couple of freelancers and the support that we get from the Midas Touch Network. And I'll put our coverage of these demonstrations today of these vigils that are being held all across the country. I'll put that coverage up against any corporate news outlet. And I bet that our coverage looks just as good, if not superior, to what they're going to be offering today, which will probably be a both sidesing of this issue, as if there are two sides to a government shooting and killing its own citizens. So, if you want to support the work that we are doing out here, please go to statuscoo.com/join.

There you can support us for as low as $5 a month. help cover some of the extraordinary expenses that we generate here at Status to be able to offer this continuous on the ground coverage. We have been on the ground in Minneapolis for nearly 2 months at this point over a month certainly that we have been on the ground there before Alex Py's killing before Renee Good's killing going all the way back to the beginning of Operation Metro Surge at the beginning of December. Jordan, our boss, just went through and figured out the numbers when he when he kicks in salaries and everything that it costs our team to be live and offering this reporting on the ground. Salaries, the cost of travel, of plane tickets, of food on the ground, of renting vehicles, to get transportation, of hotel rooms. When you add all of that in together, plus all of the miscellaneous expenses on top of that, it ends up totaling around $25,000

a month for us to be reporting in the field. in a continuous way in these conditions in the extreme cold. Luckily, we're getting what feels like a reprieve here today in Milwaukee. It's a high of 27, which makes this feel like Aruba compared to what Minneapolis has been over the last several weeks where we were reporting in wind chills that got as low as -40. But to be able to offset some of those costs, to be able to support the work that we are doing, that is the best thing you can do. The second thing you can do is like and share this stream. and get it out to as many people as possible because social media algorithms and those giant corporations do not reward this on the ground reporting and do not do a lot to lift up the voices of people who are decrying the killings being perpetrated by their government. So any liking and sharing of this stream that you can do is highly important. Then and also getting

subscribed to ourselves here at Status Q and the Midas Touch Network for being able to offer these truly on the ground perspectives and lift up the voices of the people who are bravely standing up and voicing their displeasure with their federal government. A government that has shown it is willing to use lethal force against its own citizens as it has in the case of Renee Good and Alex Prey. And it's on the uh Alex Prey killing that I want to get to some news that is being reported out right now by uh ProPublica. And that is the names of the agents, the immigration enforcement agents who actually pulled the trigger, shot, killed, executed Alex Prey on the streets of Minneapolis's south side.

So this is from that reporting. The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Prey are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus ooa and customs and border protection officer Rayundo Gutierrez. The records viewed by ProPublica list ooa 43 and Gutierrez 35 as the shooters during the deadly encounter last weekend that left Prey dead and ignited massive protests and calls for criminal investigations. OOA is a border patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP's office of field operations. He is assigned to a special response team which conducts high-risk operations like those of uh police SWAT teams and the like. Records show both men are from South Texas. So these are people who were brought in as part of Operation Metro Surge from elsewhere in the country. These are not people who were local to policing and used to being

on the streets of Minneapolis's southside. These are these part of these agents who were brought in brought in by the hundreds and the thousands into the streets of Minneapolis to police those communities to terrorize them and to carry out violence like what unfortunately turned deadly in the case of Alex Prey. OOA, who goes by Jesse, graduated from the University of Texas, Pan-American with a degree in criminal justice. According to his ex-wife, uh, Angelica Ooa, a longtime resident of the Rio Grand Valley, ooah, had for years dreamed of working for Border Patrol and finally landed a job there. She said by the time the couple split in 2021, he had become a gun enthusiast with about 25 rifles, pistols, and shotguns.

Angelica ooa said, "I'll just leave that to hang in the air." A gun enthusiast with so many different weapons. We have a second amendment in this country. One that Alex Prey himself was exercising legally on the day that he was shot and killed by someone who had 25 rifles, pistols, and shotguns. The CBP officer quote attempted to move uh the woman and Prey out of the roadway. The woman and Prey did not move unquote. The report reads, this is the report, the uh documentation that was gathered uh or is being reported out by ProPublica. Prey resisted uh CBP personnel's efforts and and a struggle ensued," unquote, according to the report.

All right. Good afternoon, everybody. Sounds like the the Thank you for being here. Uh my name is Hannah Fre.

Proceedings are getting underway here, so I'm going to let you listen in. I am going to get us started. Um I'd like to call to the mic uh Reverend Joseph Jackson, the lead pastor of Friendship Baptist Church.

Good afternoon. You heard him, the pastor of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, also a leader in Micah, Milwaukee Inner City Congregations, Ally for Hope. And I have a challenge for us today, and that is for us to be calm. I just heard somebody say to be prepared rather than to panic. Uh, and that might be a hard hard thing to do. uh experiencing and seeing seeing what we saw and experienced what we have experienced even up until this very present day. But I I'll say to you as I said to my congregation this morning, it's time.

There's always time to exercise calm as Jesus has taught us in our faith. Calm in the midst of the storm.

And we certainly are in the midst of a storm. That's right. time for people of faith and all people to be calm. Our faith is always being tested. And I think I can get an amen on that.

One of my favorite spiritual uh writers, spiritual persons, the Howard Thurman, he talks about it's always good to center down.

That translates to me it's always time to be calm. Look, I want to just tell you this right quick. I was on a cruise about four months ago and on that Monday night was Monday Night Football was the Packers versus the Eagles. And so we had a crowd of Packer fans and Eagle fans and it got loud and noisy and even boasters at times and somebody stood up in the crowd and said and with emotion, "Calm down. Calm down." And that's what we must do in this fight and struggle for our brothers and sisters and immigrants, refugees, because all of us belong here.

This is God's land. Amen. I want to just share this now. I'm going to get out of the way cuz there's others to talk, but I was in Minneapolis last week just as Pastor Jim was also. And we stayed where we stayed in an Airbnb, a house at the foot of a hill on the edge of the mighty Mississippi River, the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. And after leaving rallies and prayer vigils and sightes of violence and you think it's cold, today it was cold. And frigid weather, the frozen river, the foothills, and the warm house gave me not only a sense of peace, but a sense of calm.

I've learned that before and after the calm comes the storm. So the question for us or the challenge for us is how are we going to handle the storm? How will we face the storm? How will we respond to the tactics of ICE? Imagine having having to have someone pick you up in the morning for work and to take you back home every day. No stopping off for groceries, for chips, for snacks. No time for leisure, for fear of being stopped, frisked, unjustly beaten, taken away, or even killed. So I know I know someone personally like that without mentioning his name.

But the saying that says the eyes are the windows of to the soul. I could see through the eyes of this person I'm talking about. I saw a sad soul. I saw a hurt soul. I even saw an angry soul. Not anger for anger sake, but there is a such thing as as righteous indignation.

That's right. So, in closing, yet we must remain calm. We must remain prepared. We must remain strategic. We must do the same. We must resist, persist, and insist. And yet remain calm. My late mother-in-law Susie will Valentine would tell us to do it in a smooth way. So, we will resist nonviolently. We will resist. We will persist nonviolently. We will insist nonviolently. I heard somebody say, "Oh, yesterday," our dream will outlast the nightmare.

We will succeed. We will win. Amen. I'm Reverend Jennifer Nordstrom. I'm the senior minister at the First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee in downtown Milwaukee. I was also in Minneapolis last week. I was on a busload of clergy that made a pilgrimage from George Floyd Square to where Renee Good was murdered on Friday. Our clergy bus was followed by ICE. And although they didn't interact with the clergy, they came upon a family and kidnapped some people off of the street while they were following us. They also attacked the legal observers who were observing that kidnapping.

And then another bus full of clergy came up and ICE left the area. There is power in faith traditions.

There is power in moral grounding. There is power in our spiritual practices and power in showing up with one another grounded in morality and the voice of morality grounded in our faith.

Yeah. As we prepare for this detention center to open, it is fully operational. I invite you to ground yourselves in your faith, whatever that may be, where you find the holy and the sacred in this world, in this moment. Ground yourself in that space. If you are a praying person,

pray. If you are a person who finds comfort in meditation, get on that cushion.

If you are a person who finds connection in the love of humanity, talk to your neighbors.

Introduce yourself. Have a potluck. It's spiritual practice, y'all. We need to get to know one another because what I saw in Minneapolis was that it was the people who saved one another. It was regular everyday people just like us showing up and saying, "I love my neighbor. I will not allow my neighbor to get kidnapped in the dead of night without people watching. I will not stand by while people come and kidnap people off the street, taking children from their parents and parents from their children." That's what it means to act out our faith today.

Yeah. So, as we prepare, I invite you to do both the practical preparation, get yourself trained, and the spiritual preparation. During the civil rights movement, before anyone could participate in any of the actions of the civil rights movement, they had to go down to the 16th Street Baptist Church and sign a nonviolence pledge. It had 10 commandments on the non-violence pledge. Eight of the 10 were spiritual practice.

Yeah. Yeah. Two of them were about what you do with your body. Ground yourselves. We need to be grounded in what we know is right and good in this world. Loving the neighbor, welcoming the stranger, connecting with the people that we care about. We will not allow our neighbors to be kidnapped and we will practice our faith in this world today.

Yeah. Amen. Greetings. I am Ronda Lner, the interfaith statewide organizer for the Wisconsin interfaith voter engagement campaign and the educator for Tun Ha, a Jewish social justice organization that means repair the city. I'm here today to speak about ICE and to speak about our faith, the faith that that embodies all of us. The abuses, indeed, the perversions of ISIS power remain almost inconceivable. And I am so saddened to admit that this is happening in our beloved country. I am heartbroken that our current administration and its followers in national and state governments remain supportive of what is occurring to all of us who call the United States home. ICE agents are entering homes without proper warrants, are illegally forcing Americans immigrants to show papers, are sending people away without due process, are acting with absolute impunity, and are viciously attacking those who dare to

question the morality, legality, and humanitarian humanity of their actions. They have forced schools to close, workers to remain home, and residents to shutter in to shutter inside their homes. They have occupied a great American city, one that my family has called home. They move about concealing their identity, and they operate through fear. Our country is exponentially less safe with untrained and unhinged federal officers inflicting their will against those protesting. This is a crisis of epic of epic proportion, not just for Minneapolis, but for our country. I'd like to share two stories from the Torah, the Hebrew Bible, that struck strong chords in me and seem particularly important as we seek to support those suffering from the abuses, indeed the perversions of ISIS's power.

Many of us know the stories of the Hebrew Bible, especially the ones of the Exodus. The readings center on Moses, his birth, his time in Egypt, his life as a shepherd, and ultimately his answering the call from God to lead the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt and into the land of Canaan. God calls to Moses, and Moses answers, "Hani, I am here." In Jewish tradition, the word Haneni is very powerful, signifying total presence, readiness, and availability. More than just a simple statement of location, it carries deep meaning, often implying that we are ready to serve, ready to be sent out, ready to commit to the call.

Moses for quite a long time feels deep self-doubt and questions his own worthiness. Many of us have felt like Moses, unsure of our role. Eventually, Moses agrees and like him, we can go forward together because we are not alone. Later, Moses goes to Pharaoh and demands that he let my people go. The Bible states that Pharaoh's heart was hardened. Eventually, he does relent, but only after the plagues [ __ ] his country and take the life of his own son. It is time for those who support these current policies and actions of ICE to let go of their hardened hearts to relent and to order and to order ICE to stand down. It is time to know the right side of history and move toward it. It is up to us to make this happen through the strength of our faith and the power of our testimony.

At this moment, we are called to action. We are called to community and we are called to our faithful commitment to justice. No one can do everything, but we can all do something. Not only can we help our neighbors and those we may never meet, we can help ourselves by lifting up action. As always, we feel blessed to have so many partners here in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin who care deeply about our country's legacy of democracy and a future filled with the freedom to fulfill our dreams. Our work matters and we will continue to work to bend our collective arch towards justice. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm Reverend Mindy Welton Mitchell, the regional executive minister for the American Baptist Churches of Wisconsin, where one of our churches are from the immigrant community. We have a commandment in the Christian tradition to go therefore to all nations baptizing in the name of the father, son, and the holy spirit. This stole was given to me from a family in El Salvador who had come to my church when I served in Massachusetts as refugees. They made their home there. I baptized their children. They now have grandchildren.

They came here for freedom. They came here to worship freely. They came here to live and work and make a better life for their grandchildren and grandchildren, which is what any of us would want. I am reminded in the Christian tradition of this passage in Matthew 25.

It is one of the final teachings of Jesus before his death. And it goes like this. It's in Matthew 25 beginning at the 31st verse. When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, he will sit on the throne of glory. All the nations will be gathered before him. He will put the sheep at his right hand, the goats at his left, and the king will say to those at his right hand, "Come, you who are blessed by my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food.

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you gave me clothing. I was sick and you took care of me. I was in prison and you visited me. Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you? Or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you? And the king will answer them, truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of my siblings, you did it to me.

This is the commandment for those of us who are Christian. This is this is what the gospel hinges on. How do we treat those around us?

Yeah. How do we care for the most vulnerable? The least of these is Bible speak for the most vulnerable among us. People who have come here as refugees and asylum seekers. people who have come here simply for a better way of life. People who have been our neighbors. That scripture verse also gives us a good blueprint of what to do to feed those who are hungry. For those who are afraid, let us get together and do what Reverend Jennifer said and feed our neighbors. Let's have a potluck.

For those who are thirsty, let's make sure they have something to drink. For those who are sick, let's make sure they have their medicine. for those who are detained, let us make sure we have the their rights as first amendment rights not only for free speech but for freedom of religion that they have a right to spiritual guidance and have a right to seek spiritual guidance when they are detained. That means clergy members should be allowed to visit those who are detained. We know that that did not happen in Chicago. We know that that has been denied. We know that people who are being pulled over by ICE are not being read their rights. They are not being given legal counsel. They are not being given due process. And they are not being given the right to seek spiritual guidance. So let us make sure that human rights, civil rights, rights under the US Constitution are upheld.

This is our duty. Yes. Let us find what we are able to do to feed the hungry, to visit those who are sick and care for those who are sick, and to visit those who are detained.

And for all who are watching and wondering what we can do, get to know your neighbors. Do what has been shared. But I also call upon our elected officials to do something.

Protect the rights of those here, immigrant, native born, refugee. protect all of our civil rights.

I am asking you to do your job. That's right. I will do my job if you can do your job.

Let us pray. Holy and loving one, creator of us all. We ask, oh God, for your peace to be present with us. A peace that does not come through force, but a peace that comes through the love of one another. Guide us in how we act. guide us to be prepared. Help us to do what we can to make sure our neighbors needs, the most vulnerable, are met. And God, we pray for our elected officials. They do not have an easy job. But God, we pray that they would do the right thing, that they would uphold the Constitution that they swore an oath to protect and to live by and to govern by.

Lord, we pray for them. We pray for those who are in law enforcement. We pray that they also will uphold the constitution that they have sworn to protect and defend and to live through. Lord, we pray for all that we might all be able to live in peace.

That we can live in peace. That we can just live in peace. Amen. Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for joining us. on this uh blistering Sunday afternoon, at least compared to the past few days. Uh my name is William Walter. I'm the executive director of our Wisconsin Revolution. And I want every single one of you here today to know and I want every single one of you that are watching at home across Milwaukee, across Wisconsin, across the United States, and across the planet that you are not alone.

It might feel like you are. I know social media uh can be can be terrible. It can be disgusting. It can be soul sucking at times. But those of us with a moral center and a moral compass understand the difference between right and wrong. And what we are seeing right now is wrong.

That's right. It is wrong. And it's okay to say that. And it's okay to have these conversations with your friends, your family, your neighbors and your community. Because at the end of the day, we are all that we have. We will protect each other. We will defend our homes and our friends and our family and our neighbors and our communities. And we will fight back against the tyranny and oppression that we are seeing right now across Minneapolis, across the United States, and across the world. Now, I don't want to sugarcoat it. This facility is being built. It is functional and it will likely be coming to Milwaukee. And I don't say that to scare you. See, fear is what the oppressors want. They want you to be afraid of your friends, your family, and your neighbors. They want you checking every corner before you walk around it.

But we will not be scared into compliance, particularly as the constitutional rights that have been bestowed upon us are systemically violated time and time again. We are going to stand up and we are going to continue to fight because we know in our hearts and we know at our moral center that what we support, love, freedom, democracy, justice is morally and ethically right. It is righteous.

This is a moral fight that we are going into right now. And I want everyone to remember that they are not alone and they will never be alone because the vast majority of us believe in these principles and the vast majority of us will fight for these principles

especially when they invade our communities. ICE is terrorizing American streets. They are oppressing our friends. They are oppressing our neighbors. They will not oppress us. We will continue to stand up against them every time they enter our streets. We will continue to march. We will continue to protest. We will continue to rally. We will leverage our wallets by going against the economic priorities that help incentivize these individuals to attack us. And we will defend America because that is what the American believe. Uh that is what the American dream and the American promise demands of us. So, thank you everybody for being out here today. We're going to lead a silent march right now. Uh Hannah, I'd like to direct everyone to Hannah to uh follow our next steps and remember that the more we fight, the more we win.

Preparation is vital. That is one thing that I've heard throughout this uh throughout the fabulous speakers today. I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who once said, those who prepare to fail uh are or those who uh fail to prepare are preparing to fail. We are going to be prepared. We will be ready. And when these individuals come to our community, we will stand up and defend each other and protect our neighbors and our community because at the end of the day, we outnumber the oppressors a million to one.

Thank you. I'd like to thank all our speakers um for coming out today and for sharing um their love for their neighbors, for their community, and for Wisconsin with all of us. And at this time, I'd like to turn it over to Ajax. Hello everyone. We so much has been said today. Um we are going to transition to if you've seen me adjusting these orange cones, I'm trying to estimate how much space we need to do this. In the first chapter of the book of Joshua, it is written, it is asked of us, um, h, have I not commanded thee to have strength and to have courage, to not have fear, to not be dismayed, for the Lord is with thee? And as we know, Joshua went on and he went to march around the wall and his people went to march around the wall and eventually it fell because they were determined because they stuck to it and because they kept showing up cuz they knew that better was on the other end.

Um, we're going to walk. We're going to walk. And if it helps you to imagine that walk, then you can. And if it helps you to imagine our own walk, then we can. But we're gonna we're gonna do this silently and we're going to search and we're going to listen and we're going to feel. So, we've got these beautiful cones. Um, and we're going to assemble around them and we're just going to walk for a bit. We're going to walk around the cones. We're going to walk in this line. Single file, double file, whatever fits your fancy. But we're going to walk. We're going to feel. We're going to be here.

You all with me on that one? Yeah. All right. We've got these individuals in beautiful pink vests. If you're near a cone, stick up your hand so we can see you. And let's form a rectangle. And I'm going to ask the two on that end to push back the cones if you need to. And let's get to it. Yes. And if you have a candle that needs to be lit, I believe this Highlander back here. There's a lighter at the Highlander that you can stop by.

And this uh is going to bring things to the silent vigil portion of uh the demonstration here today. And again, this is outside of the ICE processing and detention facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is just finishing its construction for it to go back to being operational here in this city. I'll note that as you look on the outside of this building, as you look on the outside of this building, you'll see signs like this that say future home of the vet center. And that's all down the fence line outside of this building. There's no mention made of ICE and the operations that this building will play home to the detentions, the processing, the tearing apart of families that this building is going to help facilitate. It just boasts of the fact that it is a vet center.

But the people here of Milwaukee are very aware of it enough that they are staging this action in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis and the Twin Cities. This silent vigil where you see people holding up signs that say, "Ice melts under resistance. Ice out for good. justice for Renee and Alex. References to of course Renee Good and Alex Prey who were shot and killed by their own government in the streets of Minneapolis. And it was actually uh there was a rumor that was circulating here in Wisconsin and in Milwaukee that uh that this city could could be next for uh for ICE operations. that uh seems to have just been a rumor, but speaks to the fear, the paranoia, the how can you say it's paranoia if it's if it's founded if it's founded fear. But that certainly speaks to the anxiety and the fear in the air that each city any any blue city could could be next for the federal operations. And the people here

in Milwaukee are not waiting are not waiting for federal agents to show up on their doors before they get active. They are standing up and speaking out now out marching now. And this is to demonstrate to the Trump administration that what is happening here in this country is not a resistance that is only in the Twin Cities. And this is a a demonstration, one of many planned across the country today and this weekend to show to show solidarity with the Twin Cities and show that this is truly a nationwide movement that is speaking out against the Trump administration.

And right here, I'm just giving you a a look at sort of the mutual aid table that was that's been set up here by some of the organizers handing out hand warmers and food for those who need it. That's been one of the things that we've been so struck by in all of our reporting in all of these different cities that we have covered has been has been the the one bright spot in so much darkness in in these cities that end up being victimized by the Trump administration has been the community building that happens in response. It's the way that people come together. And this is just one small example of it here that you are seeing in what is otherwise a quiet nondescript office park. So many of these across the country and uh the Broadview, Illinois ICE detention facility that's just outside Chicago that was the center for so much of the pain inflicted on that city while it was occupied and continues to face

immigration enforcement operations there by the Trump administration. And that was also in a quiet neighborhood like this. The bality of evil is what I heard a lot of people refer to it as these public black sites that exist in plain view if you know where to look and what to look for. And in the case here of Milwaukee, it is this office park, a a nondescript brick building. The only real sense they even have that it is a a federal building are those signs on the outside that talk about it being the home of a of a vet center.

And then a small blue sign on the edge of uh some of the fencing that just marks it as being federal property. But otherwise, you would not necessarily know that. What you are looking at here inside of this building is uh an ICE processing and detainment facility that is nearing completion on its construction. part of the massive buildout of these facilities that is happening across the country right now to make it easier for the federal government to tear apart these cities, tear apart communities, and to tear apart families.

You'll notice that there's no chanting. This is meant to be a a silent a silent vigil. part of it to demonstrate the mourning that so many in this country are feeling in the wake of Alex Prey and Renee Good's killing and killing of many more besides them as part of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operations.

It's And this is normally where I would, you know, dive into the crowd and and do some interviews. And I will be doing that here in just a minute. But I just think it's important to uh to let the let the silence speak for itself, so to speak, here first and to let the message of this demonstration carry its full weight first before I pierce that with any with any demanding questions of this crowd. Let them come and say their peace, so to speak. I have a message from you from where's Nana. He says, "Hi, Nana." I'm her friend. I used to hang out in Chicago with her.

Oh, really? I live up here. Yeah. Nice to meet you. I also live up here. Okay, that's what she said. Yeah. Okay, cool.

What was your name? I'm Hely Hell's Gears. Hel, nice to meet you, JT. Nice to meet you, JT. Yeah, on the on the YouTube

just had another uh independent journalist come up and introduce themselves um that we had run into each other in Chicago during our coverage there of the Trump immigration crackdown in that city where we were on the ground for 2 months and like in Chicago and now here it is mostly independent media who is doing the work of actually covering these demonstrations. I'll note just looking around there are two TV camera here. One from the local ABC affiliate, one's from the local NBC station, but CBS and Fox, those local stations nowhere to be seen. It's possible there's a print reporter somewhere in this mix. They're always a little bit harder to see cuz they don't carry the big cameras with them. But no major networks out here to report about the opening and the demonstrations against the opening of a new ICE detention facility or on how another Midwest city is standing in solidarity with its

neighbor. It's just us. And I think that that is probably a powerful statement on the state of media, especially corporateowned media in this country and speaks to the need and the importance for building truly independent media that we are trying to do at Status Coup and our partners at the Midas Touch Network are doing. So please get subscribed to both of us if you can. But the best way that you can help us build out is we attempt we're actually trying to expand our team right now so that we can continue to offer multi-ity coverage or maybe we have multiple crews in one city or you know just to be able to allow us to do so much more on top of what we're already doing. And the best way that you can help support us in that effort is to go to statuscoo.com/join for as low as $5 a month. you go to cover a lot of those $25,000 of expenses that we generate in a month through salaries, through travel, through

everything that it takes to be able to put put this all together. And you might be able to hear there in the background. It's always uh difficult for me to be able to tell when I'm here, but uh hopefully you can hear there in the background that that some of the folks have started to singot

coming for to carry me home. Swing wo got sweet cherryot coming for to carry me home. I looked over the Jordan and what did I see coming for to carry me home? A band of angels was coming after me. Coming for to carry me home. Sweet glory, sweet cherryot coming for to carry me home. Sweet sweet carot coming for car me home. Swing low. Sweet charot coming for to carry me home. Swing home. Sweet caro coming for to car me home. It's an honor seeing you all out here.

I'm stepping uh back in front of the camera here. Going to wrap up. I wish you all forward.

They're wrapping up here with this demonstration. There's a few things I wanted to point out. One, as much as the Trump administration loves to call any protest against its power and what it's doing in these cities, it loves to call these protests riots. Did this seem like a riot to you? No. And there are so I've ask my cameraman John F. He's reported inside of many riots. I've reported on riots. We know what riots look like. These demonstrations that we have covered against the Trump administration are far from riots. That's not what this is. This is a silent demonstration of faith against the Trump administration and what what it is doing on the streets of these communities. I want to step in front of the uh the camera to also note on top of that that uh the other piece of news that has come out today, which is that the uh uh Trump admin that uh the Trump administration was ordered by a federal

judge to release 5-year-old Lean Ramos uh and his father and to return them to Minneapolis after release from their ICE prison in Texas. the judge saying, quote, "The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, even if it requires traumatizing children. Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the prefidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest knows no bounds and are barereft of human decency and the rule of law be damned. That is what a federal judge had to say to the Trump administration for picking up 5-year-old Leon Ramos. If you're not familiar with Liam Ramos, you've almost certainly seen his picture. He is the young boy in the in the bunny hat who was detained, taken, abducted by the federal government, used as bait to try and lure out more of his family members. Liam and

his father were both taken prisoner and taken to Texas. Now a judge ordering their release. So just the stark difference in tactics, the protests that we see out here, the quiet, silent protests out here, people holding candles, holding signs, making speeches, appealing to faith, to human decency. That's the judge made referenced there in that quote that I just read. Contrasted by the Trump administration picking up literal children, abducting literal children off of the streets of American cities, 5-year-olds. This is a Trump administration that said they were going after the worst of the worst. They were going after hardened criminals. What kind of hardened crime did a 5-year-old commit? None. Just for being the wrong skin color in this country at this time became a victim of this administration and its deportation agenda. And then this administration is not reflecting by attempting to then

limit what it's doing after it picks up a 5-year-old, abducts a 5-year-old, abducts children as young as two out of Minneapolis. It's not pausing to re-evaluate what it's doing. It didn't pause to re-evaluate what it was doing after it shot and killed Renee Good had to let Alex Prey also be executed on the streets on camera in front of the entire nation. And even then, the Trump administration not backing down from what it is doing. It is expanding. It is growing its deportation apparatus by building buildings like this one here next to me, opening them and making them making them part of a massive immigration enforcement infrastructure camps, public black sites that exist in this country to disappear your friends, family, neighbors. This is the reality of what's happening in America right now. I can call out that reality because I'm only beholden to you, our audience.

I don't owe money to uh we don't owe anything of what we're able to put out to any corporate influence at all because we don't take their money at Status Coup. We only are supported by individual people who are g giving us a few dollars a month. If having an independent voice that can call out these things like this is important to you, please go to statuscoo.com/join because this is [ __ ] wrong and you should have you should have a media ecosystem that is able to say it, that is able to say it and to be able to call a spade a spade. So, please help support us, help build that movement to have truly independent voices here. If you can't do that, at least get subscribed because this won't be the only live that we're doing today. for being such a small but mighty news organization. Not only am I live here on the streets of Milwaukee right now, but in just a few minutes, we will also be live from

Minneapolis from our crew up there from a similar vigil that is likely to be much larger than this one that is actually my understanding is that it's going to be a vigil that starts at the scene of uh Renee Goods killing and then will move uh through the streets uh to the site of Alex Py's killing there and we will be live from that vigil as well. So, get subscribed so you're notified as soon as we go live. Though, my understanding is is that as soon as this live ends, you may be taken into a waiting room for that live. So, you could just also hang around. But, we put out just a ton. We're constantly on the ground. We're live nearly every single day reporting on what is happening on America's city streets right now. Get subscribed so you see all of those reports that we are able to to bring you from Milwaukee, from Chicago, from Minneapolis. I'm listing a lot of Midwest cities just because that's

what's been victimized by the Trump administration. But before that, here at Status Cool, we were leading on the ground in our coverage of Washington DC and the occupation of that city of of the deportations out of the uh New York court system, out of uh the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles after Chicago. We were in Charlotte. So, we are all around the country and I'm leaving I'm already forgetting things. We were live uh and doing so much coverage around alligator Alcatraz when that public when that concentration camp in America uh opened. So, we are doing all of this reporting. We're doing it with uh with your help. Thank you to all of our members. Please get subscribed. Uh if you are not, I'm going to try and find an organizer to to do an interview with here. So, please bear with me because I am, like I said, a one-man band today, which means I have to manage all of the equipment myself. We're going to try

while there are still some organizers here. Hey, Hey, Jackson. Is there a a faith leader here who you'd recommend I speak to? I I just want to get an interview.

Give me one second. Thanks for bearing with me, folks. We're going to try and get one interview here. I'm not uh sure on the time. I should actually check to make sure that uh I haven't been told to wrap here by our

one right in front of us. The red with the black vest would be awesome. The one in the blue.

We got somebody coming over. Yeah, person we could talk to. Oh, that'd be fantastic. Reverend, my name is uh JT Saskowski. I'm with Status Kunos and the Midas Touch Network. Um Progressive Online Independent Media.

Um uh so if I could uh just have you put this on for me and then I'll get you framed up here. I think I want to try and get the building behind you. So, I'm just going to swivel around here.

No, just go right in. Reverend, if I could have you just start by uh say spell your name for me, please.

Okay. Yes. It's Mindy. M I N D I Welton. W E L T O N Mitchell. M I T C H E L L. I

wanted to Reverend, I wanted you to just start by uh explaining why it was important for you to be a part of this demonstration today. We're not in and what I really want you to address is the fact that because we're a national outlet. Uh we're we're not in Minneapolis right now. Why was it important for you to be out here?

Well, we know they're coming. We know ICE is going to come to Milwaukee. It's a matter of time. Um we have a large immigrant population here. We know that ICE agents have already been active here um for a long time. We know there, you know, but we're we're expecting that the same kind of militarization that we have seen in Minneapolis with neighborhoods ransacked by ICE agents is going to come to Milwaukee. We are expecting that. We are trying to be prepared and as people as especially as a leader of faith, I'm also trying to give people hope that they are not alone that especially for our immigrant neighbors that they know that we care about them. that the people who are citizens and who've lived here, it doesn't matter how long we've been here or when we came. We're all in this together. We're neighbors. And that's, you know, part of what makes uh the United States such a wonderful place.

Um, you know, I grew up, I'm a kid of the 80s and '9s, and I remember hearing about the melting pot, this place where all the cultures come together and why we have suddenly lost sight of that based on fascist and white nationalist messages. Um, it's really sad to me because that's not the message that I learned in Sunday school of Jesus loves all the children of the world. Love your neighbor as yourself. Uh, go into all nations baptizing them in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit. That's our commandment as Christians. So for me especially as a Christian, it is it is my commandment to be here and to speak out against this kind of injustice because it is harming my neighbors.

It's harming your neighbors. And you saw that up close. So, I mean, you related that in some of your your speech. Can I just get you to reiterate that story of of you going to Minneapolis and what you saw?

I did not go to Minneapolis. I was one of the other closures. Apologies. Apologies. Not me. No.

So, do you feel like you have a responsibility to go to some of these cities though and and to demonstrate there?

I feel that my responsibility is here to my churches in in Wisconsin. We are the most diverse Protestant denomination in the state, the American Baptist churches, and we have um several immigrant congregations that are here. and this affects them directly. These are my this is the membership. These are the the people of my churches. So for me, I feel called to be here. But some of my colleagues have gone to Minneapolis to show support and also to learn um so they can bring that here. But for me, I feel very very much to be here. So when this is in my backyard um I don't live too far from here. Uh I need to be here. I need to show up. And I've been speaking about this long before this moment, but especially when these kind of events happen, I need to be here. And uh and I want to continue to just kind of pick at that idea of like the that that word need that you say like I need to do this. You you felt

the need to speak out here today. I mean we heard a lot of framing in just terms of right and wrong. You're not afraid to use the word fascist to describe what's happening in this country right now. But generally we see from uh from the faith community like kind of like a a reticence to address politics head on. It depends though because if you go to Minneapolis, many of the people who have been on the ground, you know, there were over I think 800 clergy who showed up the day before Alex Petty was killed March 97 of them were arrested. I think the media tends to focus on the evangelical white church, which is not where the majority of Christians are people of color. The majority of Christians don't look like me and the majority of Christians see what's going on and see this is um that needs to be called out. I will say because the majority of Christians are people of color and and also immigrants, they're

afraid to speak out because this is going to be targeting them. So those who look like me need to speak up and speak out more. Um we are seeing, you know, unfortunately there are some white evangelical churches that are complicit with this who believe that, you know, I've had Romans 13 thrown in my face, which is we need to obey the government. Well, which government are we going to obey? the federal government, the state government, the local government, who all have different laws on this. And to be quite honest, if we're going to obey it at this level of detaining people whose paperwork isn't in order, who are missing some things, then they ought to be pulling every one of us over who've ever had a moving traffic violation and locking us up. That sounds ridiculous, right? It sounds ridiculous to lock up everyone who's ever had a parking ticket. It's the same thing. It is the same level of of law that has been

broken. And so I feel as a Christian um when I look at scripture and it says love your neighbor says care for those in need. That that is my call. That is our commandment to do that. Um so I would say I would push back and say that the faith community is speaking out. Media just doesn't tend to focus on them. And to be honest, we're sometimes camera shy. We want we're out there to do the work. And so you know, we're not I'm not on here for anything to promote myself. I am on here because I am concerned about my neighbors. And that's that's what I want to share is just being concerned about our neighbors in need.

Yeah. And uh you already kind of touched on this a little bit at the at the beginning of the interview. I just want to make it a little bit more explicit about

um the act of solidarity that's on display here because I don't want to act like there isn't immigration enforcement happening in Milwaukee right now.

It is happening. It is happening, but it's not happening to the same degree as to what's in Minneapolis. So why do you feel like this is your fight?

Because we know it's going to come. We we just know it is. And I would love to be wrong. This is one of those times I would love to be wrong and to get all worked up and be worried and not have it happen because our legislators finally stepped in and did what they're supposed to do and uphold the rule of law. I would love for that to happen. So any legislators who are listening to this, elected officials, please do your job. Let's not have another Minneapolis. Let's not have another Chicago. Let's do the right thing. Protect our neighbors.

stick ICE where it belongs in terms of the customs and immigration enforcement for those specific individuals that have committed crimes that are violent against people and not people who are here as re refugees, immigrants, people who came here for a better way of life, whatever their reason is, our neighbors in need. Do your job. That's my that would be my ask because I don't want to see that. I don't want to see what happened. I do not want to see kids getting teargassed coming out of school because they're worried about their friends and are standing in the way of officers or their teachers or whatever.

I want to see peace and I want to see, you know, um I I just don't want to see that kind of violence. I don't want to see anyone that, you know, anyone anyone hurt. And I think the way that we can do that, not only is the nonviolent resistance, which we have continued to lead, but also calling our elected officials into accountability.

Reverend, thank you very much for your time. Before I let you go, I always like to end. Is there anything else you want to say while you have the platform?

Um, no. Just I would say just take care of your neighbors. Look out for the people around you. Get to know them. Uh, learn about whistles and the whistle network and what you can do, but also make sure your neighbors know who you are. So, if you have to be the one, especially the ones who who maybe don't speak English as well, if you have to be the one to knock on the door and bring them food, uh, they know who you are because that would be we need to do this. We needed to do this for a long time to know our neighbors. And it's sad that this is what it's taken for us to do what we should have been doing all along, which is caring for all of us.

Reverend, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Yep. Thank you. Thank you. I'll take that microphone back before I let you walk off. I've let people drive off with them before. So,

thank you for the time. All right. All right, folks. And I am stepping back in front of the camera here one more time just to say say goodbye for uh for for for for a minute here because we are getting ready to uh like I said we're going live also in Minneapolis. Our crew is going live up there. They're preparing to go live from the vigil in Minneapolis right now. So I actually need to sign off because they're going to use the same uh I guess I don't need to bore you with the with the details here but essentially they need on a technical end they need me to end so that they can start. So, if you just stay here with this stream, you'll be put into a waiting room for that stream.

It'll take a couple of minutes before our crew as we, you know, transition some of that tech stuff over to that crew in Minneapolis, but then you'll be able to go live and hear from them. So, before we go, I just want to thank you for following along here as we track these acts of solidarity that are happening in cities across this country right now in solidarity with what is happening in Minneapolis. Thank you for being with me through that. If you want to support the work that we are doing, one more time, statuscoo.com/join for as low as $5. Five bucks is all it costs to support independent media in this moment. Media that isn't beholden to corporate interest and is willing to speak out and speak the truth about what is happening in these cities and the ground swell that is currently happening in this country of voices speaking out against the Trump administration and what is happening in the Twin Cities and

in cities across this country that are being victimized right now. So on behalf of myself, our whole team at Status Coup, I want to thank you for being with us. I want to thank you on behalf of our partners at the Midas Touch Network as well, who help support and uh platform a lot of our reporting. Thanks to them, thanks to our whole team. And I'll turn it over now to our crew up in Minneapolis. Hang with us. Thank you so much. And good night.
