Just so people understand the timeline:
(1) The president of the United States called Somali-Americans "garbage" and the Vice President says that the US has a "Somali Problem".
(2) The White House directs immigration agencies to Minnesota due to its large Somali community.

American exceptionalism is strong, even outside the US. If this was occurring in another country I don't think people would mince words about what is happening.

(5) The administration immediately labels the women a domestic terrorist. The Vice President claims that federal agents have "absolute immunity".
(6) Aggressive tactics continue, agents tell protesters that they should have "learned their lesson".

hey European hivemind, I need some help...PhD students here, especially foreign ones, are feeling a lot of concern related to evolving immigration restrictions here. Those students are increasingly looking to postdocs in EU. To help advise them better, what are expectations for postdocs?

Unaccountable masked agents terrorizing cities matches popular perceptions of authoritarianism much more than like executive aggrandizement.
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

These agents did not have a judicial warrant and appeared to produce an administrative warrant on-the-fly when confronted. They entered w/o permission. The resident has posted a first-person video of the illegal intrusion.
There were children in this home.
This is un-American and unconstitutional.

Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next?
Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.
That matters….

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.
The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

I'll be presenting a paper showing that higher levels of confidence that one's own vote will be counted as intended correlates with higher levels of validated turnout among Americans as a whole and among partisans. Confidence that other people's votes will be counted properly doesn't affect turnout.

The radical right’s master frame remains ethnic nationalism. Remigration is simply one of its logical consequences. First came stopping (or minimizing) immigration; next is pushing people with migrant backgrounds to leave. Expect further radicalization.
'Remigration' is on its way to become a #farright master frame, but what does it actually mean? In Germany (somewhat unsurprisingly), that's 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 a legal-constitutional question, with implications for the #AfD. Excellent reporting by Correctiv - in German, but worth a click on 'translate'
