In light of the murder of Alex Pretti, we have revised our statement on the one-year anniversary of Trump's second inauguration:
ONE YEAR OF TRUMP 2.0
A YEAR OF LAWLESS MURDER AND BOUNDLESS TERROR
The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go Now
The Trump regime rode into 2026 on a rampage. From Venezuela to the streets of Minneapolis, the regime murders with impunity and demonizes whole peoples and countries without any pretense of the rule of law.
On January 7, an ICE agent murdered Renee Good in cold blood for daring to stand up for her immigrant neighbors. On January 24, CBP agents beat Alex Pretti to the ground and executed him. These are Trump’s Gestapo thugs—unleashed in Minneapolis on a campaign of terror and vengeance. The regime has responded not with accountability, but with lies, justifying murder through the twisted logic that anyone who resists deserves to be shot down.
This is fascism, a different form of brutal rule to enforce white supremacist, patriarchal, and xenophobic oppression and violence. As long as this regime remains in power, this terror will not only continue—it will accelerate. The events of this month—from illegally bombing Venezuela and kidnapping the leader of a sovereign nation to murdering civilians in the streets—have brought this home in blood and should dispel any complacency.
This regime will not be bound by any laws or measures of decency that stop them from advancing their aims. They have:
- begun genocidal ethnic cleansing of non-white immigrants, rounded up and sent to concentration camps by lawless masked men
- unleashed war and terror abroad, while moving aggressively to crush dissent at home
- branded anti-fascist protesters and political opponents as “domestic terrorists,” laying the groundwork for mass repression.
SHREDDING ANY RULE OF U.S. OR INTERNATIONAL LAW, and getting away with it over and over, is paving the way for horrors that surpass those of the Nazi regime. There is no living with this.
The protests in Minneapolis and across this country have been righteous and inspiring. They must continue—and they must grow. And we must join our righteous fury in the streets with the only demand that truly measures up to the threat this regime poses to all of humanity:
Trump Must Go Now!
No community is safe while the fascist Trump regime controls federal agencies and consolidates power. There is no restraining or abolishing ICE when Trump’s attacks on immigrants are the battering ram and linchpin of his fascist program. To stop ICE terror—and every outrage of the last year—the whole regime must be stopped.
Nothing but massive nonviolent struggle by you, and millions of others like you, can do that. By walking out. By shutting down. By millions rising in massive, unrelenting, nonviolent protest and resistance. By coming back stronger in the face of attack and repression. By uniting, not dividing, across many viewpoints and backgrounds.
We must not wait for future and rigged elections.
The power of the people must drive the Trump Fascist Regime out of power now—before it is too late.
ICE Must Go
The Whole Trump Fascist Regime Must Go Now
In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America
