The number of children in ICE detention on an average day has skyrocketed 6x since Trump took an office. Families complain of poor medical care and worm-infested food.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules
ICE and CBP are at the head of Trump's campaign to terrorize Minnesotans. But the Justice Department is not far behind.
ICE’s No. 1 Ally
The Department of Justice has rushed to shield federal agents from accountability and launched needless criminal investigations into Minnesota officials and residents.

Ilan Wurman's anti-birthright citizenship Supreme Court amicus. I won't mince words. He bastardizes the common law. It is a methodologically bankrupt approach to the history of Anglo-American constitutionalism. It is little more than preening to gain someone's favor, but certainly not a scholar's.

Alex Pretti: Analysing Footage of Minneapolis CBP Shooting - bellingcat
Bellingcat has analysed video of the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. The footage appears to contradict statements made by the Department of Homeland Security.

Dr. Michael White, a professor in Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona State University, emphasized the importance of body camera footage, for both to visually see what happened, but also for its audio, particularly in cases like Pretti’s shooting.

ICE agent barges into a consulate in Minneapolis (against U.S. treaty obligations) and when confronted says “If you touch me, I’ll grab you.”
This is a big part of what Congress must rein in: the agency’s sense of entitlement and unlimited power, coupled with its pursuit of physical escalation.
