....of an accident (which is a crime) and most likely a crime considering the condition of the vehicle. Also removing rather than rendering aid by a professional is most likely illegal. If that woman needs care and insurance to be aware she would need to be seen by medical professionals, not kidnapped.

ICE is a terrorist organization

32. She apparently led them on a high-speed chase down the interstate
Sun Jan 11, 2026, 10:22 PM
Jan 2026

and then hit a pole (presumably avoiding oncoming traffic since her vehicle is on the wrong side of the divider). That isn't damage from another vehicle.

On edit - Finding the intersection on a satellite image from Google... that doesn't seem right. My new guess is that she was on 94 heading east and got off at Snelling dramatically faster than she could handle and couldn't make the turn. She drifted across two lanes of southbound traffic and into the median, where she struck the interstate signpost just off camera to the left of the image (larger than the streetlight post behind her and consistent with the size of the damage to her hood and the direction her tires are facing). Then bounced off into the oncoming lane. Airbags probably saved her life.

Sun Jan 11, 2026, 10:55 PM
Jan 2026

My heart goes out to the family and all families impacted by the actions of the pluralistic winners of the last election.
What I do not like is the impact on the families and the lack of due process. It is very important to keep the family together.
Now, Governor Walz, is a former CSM in the US Army Minnesota National Guard unit. The other “you know who. . . “ and all of his factual misdeeds.
Again, you don’t disrupt families, and the folks supporting their families far away.
