Trump’s ICE Launches Grenade Attack, BLOODIES Protesters
"It feels like we're in a war zone," a Minneapolis protester, whose leg was bloodied by grenades, told us. We were LIVE when ICE began launching a blitz of grenades & tear gas. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

President Trump’s domestic terrorism against American citizens and undocumented immigrants escalated on Tuesday evening outside the Minneapolis federal building when ICE agents violently attacked unarmed protesters with a blitz of flash bang grenades, tear gas, and pepper balls.
“We were just protesting peacefully yelling nothing but f*ck ICE because they’re violating the law,” a female protester told Status Coup’s Zach Roberts as he reported LIVE on our YouTube channel. Then, in a SHOCKING moment, the woman showed Zach a massive wound on her leg—with blood gushing down—resulting from shrapnel lodged into her leg from ICE’s blitz of grenades.
“Seeing this kind of terrorism on our streets is terrifying; it feels like we’re in a war zone,” the injured woman told Status Coup (we were one of the only national news outlets out there when this took place).
After illegally attacking unarmed protesters with chemical gas and grenades, ICE agents began threatening protesters over a loudspeaker with arrest—for “blinding them.”
“It is a violation of federal law to interfere with officers by blinding them with intense strobe lights while in the performance of official duty. You have been identified and we will come get you and arrest you.”
What were protesters doing that “blinded” the masked, unidentified ICE officers?…
Pointing tiny flashlights in their face.
The protest then moved over to the Graduate Hotel (a Hilton hotel), where several hundred protesters demonstrated against the hotel allowing ICE agents to stay there.
“We’re here because the Graduate is allowing ICE agents to obtain reservations to stay right here on campus right next to the University of Minnesota,” a protester screamed into a megaphone. “Do you know who goes to the University of Minnesota? Immigrant students! How dare they! How f*cking dare they!”
Status Coup’s Zach Roberts and Jon Farina are currently following ICE and Border Patrol across Minneapolis capturing their violent terror against both immigrants and U.S. citizens. We might also go LIVE again tonight if protests continue to escalate.
***We have been ON-THE-GROUND in Minneapolis for nearly a month and will stay there AS LONG AS FUNDING ALLOWS….
This ON-THE-GROUND reporting is extremely important, increasingly MORE DANGEROUS, and EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE between flights, rent-a-car, hotels, food, equipment, and paying rotating reporters and cameramen). On top of our normal payroll, the travel costs associated with these reporting trips is costing us tens of thousands per month.
Most importantly, we are an INDEPENDENT outlet without corporate funding. If you value this reporting—if you depend on us—we sincerely ask you to SIGN UP TODAY as a paying member of Status Coup for as low as $5 bucks a month…that comes out to 16 cents a day.***
You can also donate to help fund this reporting.
Let’s keep waking up the masses.
Calling protesters “domestic terrorists “ when those whom they are protesting are the ones who are using violent means listed, is utter hypocrisy—the pot calling the kettle black.
Please consider that we are being played and that none of this is as it seems.
"If you catch 100 red fire ants as well as 100 large black ants, and put them in a jar, at first, nothing will happen. However, if you violently shake the jar and dump them back on the ground the ants will fight until they eventually kill each other. The thing is, the red ants think the black ants are the enemy and vice versa, when in reality, the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. This is exactly what's happening in society today. Liberal vs conservative, black vs white, pro mask vs anti-mask, vax vs anti-vax, rich vs poor, man vs woman, cop vs citizen, immigrant vs citizen. The real question we need to be asking ourselves is who's shaking the jar ... and why?" —Shera
President Obama's Warning: "You just have to flood a country's public square with enough raw sewage, you just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe. Once they lose trust in their leaders, in mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of "truth", the games won."
We are those ants and that society and all that we are witnessing is contrived to destroy the United States—both sides of the blackmailed isle are in on it. Here are the WEF 2030 goals:
1) America will no longer be a super power
2) You will own nothing and be happy
To achieve this they have to destroy the old order first before they can usher in their new total surveillance tyrannical super state. To achieve that they are mercilessly dividing and conquering us which is the oldest playbook for control that exists. Here is how:
Ten Ways Billionaires Who Hate You Are Manipulating You Right Now by @thewisewolf
1) The first manipulation is the illusion of choice. You think you have two parties representing different visions for America but both parties are funded by the same billionaires, vote for the same surveillance bills, approve the same defense budgets, and serve the same corporate interests. The choice you are given is which color tie the puppet wears, not who controls the strings.
2) The second manipulation is emotional hijacking. The news does not inform you, it activates you. Every story is framed to trigger fear or anger or disgust because those emotions bypass your rational thinking and make you easier to control. You are not watching journalism. You are being subjected to psychological operations designed to keep you in a constant state of agitation.
3) The third manipulation is tribal sorting. The algorithm learns what makes you angry and feeds you more of it until your entire worldview is shaped by outrage at the other side. You are sorted into a tribe not because you chose it but because keeping you tribal keeps you predictable and profitable.
4) The fourth manipulation is false scarcity. You are told resources are limited and the other tribe is taking what belongs to you. Immigrants are stealing your jobs. Welfare recipients are draining your taxes. The other party is destroying your healthcare. Meanwhile the billionaire class has more wealth than any humans in history and could solve most of these problems tomorrow if they wanted to.
5) The fifth manipulation is memory holing. Stories that threaten powerful interests get buried or forgotten within days. Exposed crimes result in no consequences. Historical context that would help you understand the present is never taught. You are kept in a perpetual present with no past to learn from and no future to plan for.
6) The sixth manipulation is controlled opposition. The voices you think are fighting for you are often funded by the same interests they pretend to oppose. The outrage merchant on your side of the aisle is playing a character designed to keep you engaged and angry and tuned in while nothing ever actually changes.
7) The seventh manipulation is the Overton window. The range of acceptable opinion is artificially narrowed so that anything outside it seems extreme. Ideas that were mainstream fifty years ago are now treated as radical. Ideas that serve elite interests are treated as moderate common sense. You are not choosing your beliefs from the full range of human thought. You are choosing from a menu they wrote.
8) The eighth manipulation is learned helplessness. You are shown so many problems with no solutions that you eventually give up and accept that nothing can change. This is intentional. A population that believes resistance is futile does not resist. They scroll and complain and feel superior for understanding how bad things are while doing absolutely nothing about it.
9) The ninth manipulation is identity capture. Your political affiliation becomes your identity, and any attack on your party feels like an attack on you personally. This makes you defend politicians and policies that harm you because admitting they are wrong would mean admitting you were wrong, and your ego will not allow that.
10) The tenth manipulation is the most insidious of all: you are manipulated into believing you are too smart to be manipulated. Every person reading this thinks the manipulations I described apply to other people, the stupid people, the brainwashed people on the other side. That certainty is itself a manipulation. The moment you believe you are immune is the moment you become most vulnerable

There is something way bigger going on when you can divide everyone in the entire world into an 'us vs them' mentality on almost every single subject.. We cannot let them get away with these ridiculous ancient divide and conquer tactics...
