I don't think that interrupting a religious service is an appropriate way to protest but also, this is rage bait. The opposition should admit this wasn't the best protest and move on.
There is nothing Trump wants more than for this incident to stoke pro- and anti-religious sentiment.

For those who don't know the regs, there are restrictions on the amount of cash one can bring into most countries ($10K USD), but there are very few restrictions on the amount one can send outside. So where we have 2 people, there has been not even a regulatory offense committed.

Although Trump fails to grasp the concept that a true strongman must control the prosecutorial state, Yale-trained lawyer JD Vance doesn’t. He views the DOJ as an ample opportunity to bring his authoritarian vision to life, Marc Elias writes.

1. And just when you thought Trump's trans sports ban threats were as ridiculous as they possibly could be...
Now, he is sending threats to a middle school for having a trans cheerleader on a co-ed cheer team.
One Maine school is now in the crosshairs of the Dept. of Ed.

"against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
ICE detained Purple Heart veteran William Vermie for hours at the Whipple Federal Building.
He says he’s speaking out because he’s white, he has privilege and if he doesn’t use it to stand up for others, who will?
That is what solidarity looks like.

The average ICE agent makes $100k a year, in some cases without a high school diploma, to roam our streets lawlessly terrorizing people. Meanwhile, law abiding American citizens are trying to figure out how they pay for healthcare and groceries at the same time.

As I wrote in my @theverge.com piece on gov't weaponization of content moderation to remove avenues to capture/archive footage of ICE, some DHS/DOJ actions can best be understood through the lens of narrative war, where non-approved footage isn't just irksome but a competitor in narrative-building

General Strike
Where to strike? Congress:
They make the laws and move the resources.
What to ask for:
Remove laws that protect the state from the public: illegitimate in a Republic.
No more moving resources into congresspeople's accounts.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

I think there is some information in there that isn't familiar to a lot of people. Including that the US is currently holding three times as many people in immigration detention as were detained in the entire Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich.
