What the godamned fuck is this nonsense.
They bust down the door (I’ll be shocked if they have a warrant), point a gun at one resident, arrest an old man, walk outside with only shorts and shoes and it’s 7 fucking degrees.
The best part? He’s a godamned US citizen.

glad they're on this. i've noticed this and you probably have too. shattering drivers side car windows appears to be a top and preferred tactic for ICE. even when nothing is happening that makes it necessary or even on the most generous interpretation warranted. it's terror tactic.
Last July, ProPublica documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts and former ICE insiders say was rarely used before President Trump began his second term:

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

One asymmetric info issue that Dems have to figure a way to handle is that religious Christians are going to hear a lot more about this than the priest who got shot in the face by ICE with pepper balls
Per AAG Harmeet Dhillon’s X page, the DOJ is now investigating this protest.
This may frustrate the Trump admin’s religious critics, as the DOJ doesn’t appear to have investigated (at least publicly) any of the incidents where clergy have been shot w/pepper balls/tear gas/etc. by DHS agents.

Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good with one hand and filmed it with the other. The whole point is for it to be seen.
Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.

Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.

Deeply weird and menacing scenes in Minneapolis. ICE agents sat in masks and balaclavas in unmarked, often blacked out cars, watching local residents. They themselves being observed by a network of locals, trying to deter them from mounting raids. Profoundly abnormal.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

A quick note to all the media covering Minneapolis right now, the Reich called my grandfather and great uncle "protesters" when all they were doing was stopping SS from disappearing their neighbors. So maybe don't be like the Nazi Press unless you are the Nazi Press.
Killed my grandfather and my great uncle for speaking out against the Reich. Took over my grandmother's house with my mom living there as a child. And they were not Jewish. Nazis are not an abstract concept.
There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second:
Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.
