0:38The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about$10 ,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

2:30Ben Meiselas:All hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump's ICE Gestapo attempted to invade the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis. This is a massive violation of international law. It violates the Vienna Convention of Consular Relations, 1963, which clearly states that you cannot just go in and invade or break into or try to access a consulate inside your country unless you've been given permission, unless you've been given the right of entry, which these Trump regime ice Gestapo did not have. Instead, these Trump ice Gestapo were out in Minneapolis hunting for Ecuadorians to try to kidnap and send to concentration camps.

3:18Ben Meiselas:These Ecuadorians or these individuals who were hiding from ICE, were inside the Ecuador consulate when there was this effort to barge in. Fortunately, the people who were at that consulate stopped ICE from doing it. They said, get out, get out of here, while ICE tried to break in. And fortunately, ICE left. I'm going to show you the video of it in a moment. Now this is a massive international crisis. Ecuador has lodged a formal notice of protest against the United States. The U.S. is once again being condemned by the international community for violating clear-cut international law. And even though Greg Bovino has purportedly been removed as the head of Border Patrol, and now Tom Homan has been moved into Minneapolis and Minnesota, the Trump regime is still engaged in these crimes against humanity, these violations of international law, this terroristic conduct.

4:22Ben Meiselas:Let me show you what happened as Trump's ICE Gestapo attempted to invade the Ecuadorian consulate. Let's watch this video right here.

4:39You can have anything. This is the personal reaction. Relax. Relax. I did an answer. If you touch me, I will drag. If you touch me, I will drag. Okay. You can have anything. Okay. You can have anything. You can have anything. I said go. You can not enter. This is a car for me. This is a car for me. You can not enter. I'm going to close the door. Right? Yeah. Right here. Right? Yeah.

5:38Ben Meiselas:Now, more crimes against humanity have been documented as well. I want to share this with you. This is leaked video footage from inside an ICE detention center in Baltimore, Maryland. It shows 50 people crammed into a cell with no beds or bathrooms. We know that the conditions at these detention centers, these concentration camps, are absolutely horrible. I'll show you in a little bit what's been going on at the Dilley Detention Center or Concentration Camp in Texas, where attorneys who are trying to meet with their clients who have been locked up at that detention center have been prevented from accessing it.

6:25Ben Meiselas:Lawmakers, Democratic senators, and House members have been prevented from accessing the Dilley Detention Center. And you could quite literally hear the screams and the crying for help of the people inside the detention center. And when a drone flew above it, these people are dressed like they're in the squid games. The migrants are dread. It is so ghoulish looking. Let me show you what it looked like inside this Baltimore, Maryland detention center at 31 Hopkins Plaza. Let me show you this. Let's play this clip.

7:31Ben Meiselas:Now, here you'll see children and women chanting, let us out at the Dilley concentration camp or detention center that has been set up in Texas. I mean, this looks like a scene right out of 1930s Germany. Here, play this clip right here.

7:54Ben Meiselas:I'll give you another angle of that detention center. A lawyer went up to visit one of his clients at this detention center. He was not allowed in. You can hear the screams from behind the walls at the detention center. Let's play this video right here.

8:20I'm outside.

8:22Ben Meiselas:Well, folks, we're getting a statement right now from Ecuador about the attempted invasion by Donald Trump's ICE Gestapo. So this comes from Ecuador. They said yesterday morning, it's this morning, yesterday morning though, the Consul of Ecuador in Minneapolis reported that at about 11 a.m., an agent of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement attempted to enter the facilities of the consulate. Immediately, the consulate officials prevented the entry of the ICE officer to the consular headquarters, thus ensuring the protection of the Ecuadorians who were in that moment at the consular headquarters and activating the protocols of emergency issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility.

9:08Ben Meiselas:Therefore, the Chancellor of the Republic presented immediately a note of protest to the Embassy of the United States in Ecuador so that acts of this nature do not be repeated in any of the consular offices of Ecuador in the United States. Let me just think of this reprehensible conduct being committed by the United States. We've got footage now from Status Coup, our partners on the ground in Minneapolis. A reminder, subscribe to the Status Coup YouTube page, subscribe to their sub stack and also double check and make sure you're subscribed to the Midas Touch YouTube page as well. You'll see here, this was from a few days ago, but we're just getting this footage now.

9:49Ben Meiselas:It's been loaded. You'll see journalists who are out there filming what looks to be like a war zone. I mean, this looks like it's Fallujah or something. And you'll see these border patrol Gestapo with their weapons, shooting at the journalists, what are called less lethal munition rounds at point blank range, which could kill people, which has caused people to go blind before. Watch what the status quo reporters were able to document. It is so critical that we share this with you. Here, play this clip.

12:20Ben Meiselas:Now, in this next video clip from Status Coup, this was taken three days ago on January 25th. You'll see these Border Patrol Gestapo attacking the Status Coup reporter, Tina Berg. They push her to the ground. They then throw gaseous, toxic substances at her, causing her to choke. It's quite horrific to watch what just went down. But Status Coup, they're courageous. Tina's so courageous. They've documented this so we can be able to see what went down in this moment. Here, play this clip.

13:19Watch how long ago, watch what?

13:33Tito. Tito! I got it, I got it. Get up, get up, get up, get up. Get up, get up. I'm dead, I'm dead. What the fuck is wrong with you, assface? Just go, go, go, go, go. Go, go.

13:52Go. Go. Get out. Get out of there. No. No. I got you. I got you. Go. Go. What? Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. I can't for you. I got you. Go. Hurry.

14:25Come on. We have to get her out of here. Come here. We have to keep going. Come on. We have to keep going. I know. Come here. We're almost safe. We're almost safe. Come on. We gotta get over here. You guys called 911 when these people started destroying the hotel? We're pressed. We just talked about it. We just document. That's it. That's all we do.

14:58Ben Meiselas:It's worth noting as well, as I show you clips like that, that there has now been a group that's been formed called the Fight Against Federal Overreach, which is a national coalition of locally elected top prosecutors, and they've announced that they will be coordinating with each other about how to push back against the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo surge, how they address the warrantless entries, unlawful detentions, coercive enforcement tactics, and other constitutional violations, and specifically also plan how they will be prosecuting ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo within the statute of limitations after the Trump regime is over, keeping records, keeping logs of all of these ICE and Border Patrol terrorists.

15:48Ben Meiselas:I wanted to bring that up as well. Speaking of ICE and Border Patrol terrorists, I want to share this with you as well. As there were peaceful protests outside of a hotel where the ICE and Border Patrol were staying. Peaceful protests were the protesters loud, sure. But you'll see these ICE agents going to the window, giving the middle finger to the protesters and exposing themselves to the protesters. Now, we're going to censor out the exposing part, but I want you to watch as this gang, as this group of thugs, ICE and Border Patrol thugs, give the middle finger to the protesters. I want you to think about the just despicable psyche of these people.

16:33Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip.

16:53Ben Meiselas:And then I also want to show you this video, which has gone viral. You may have seen it elsewhere. it's an ICE agent telling a legal observer that if he raises his voice, that ICE will erase your voice. Horrible. Here play this clip. I will tell you this, brother. What? You know, I will tell you this. You erase your voice. I erase your voice. If I erase my voice, you'll erase my... Exactly, yeah. Yeah. Are you serious? You said if I raise my voice, you'll erase my voice? And finally, to me, this clip really resonated, and I know it will resonate with you. Here's a Minneapolis ICE protester dressed as a walrus, and he says, I was just a nerdy gamer guy.

17:37Ben Meiselas:I wasn't political at all. But what transpired here in Minneapolis has made me political, has made me want to do something, has made me want to get involved. I want to go back and be a nerdy gamer again, but I had to come out here and help my community. Watch this. I've been working, trying to fight this. I was just a nerdy gamer guy that would like to go back to just playing video games with friends. But until we get the ice out of Minnesota and hopefully abolished, I'm going to continue fighting because this is ridiculous. And I never thought I'd be a political activist. that's um you know my parents were you know we're well off and so we didn't have to worry about it being white you don't have to worry about it being a male you don't have to worry about it being straight we didn't have to worry about it but it's gotten to a point where empathy needs to win over those people on the fence where it's not affecting them now and we need to do something all together and i think that's what's so big about this moment right now in minnesota is we're showing up everybody is showing up where no matter where we're from right so we spoke with congressman roqana yesterday um one of the things that he told us is that he is going to introduce a bill to defund ice what are your thoughts on that needs to happen faster but i appreciate those stuff forward it feels like our government is way too slow right now hence why we're out in the streets yelling for change um and the faster we can shut ice down with the legal processes I think the faster we can rebuild.

19:12And I'm hoping for that track for our government here, because right now we're veering off the rails. Trump's ignoring all the legal court orders. His department, everything he's doing is showing he does not care about the rules. And we need some of our politicians to start fighting back, taking their gloves off as well. Stop worrying about who's going to vote for them. Stop worrying about their constituents, constituents trying to get those moderate voters. We need to see action and passion from our leaders.
