Here's the opinion and order from Brasel, finding a likely Fifth Amendment violation: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This echoes the D.C. rulings I discussed at Law Dork earlier today: www.lawdork.com/p/the-dc-dis...
The D.C. District Court strikes back
Three judges issued three rulings protecting constitutional rights in cases relating to Trump admin actions against federal inmates, Alien Enemies Act deportees, and Sen. Mark Kelly.

Getting hired as an AUSA these days is like getting hired to play for the Washington Generals.

Was this supposed to make MN AG Ellison look like a badass patriot? Because that’s what I’m taking from it 🤷🏻‍♂️😂
RON JOHNSON: Did you ever encourage people to go out there and exercise their First Amendment rights?

KEITH ELLISON: I freely admit being in favor of the First Amendment

Gov. Tim Walz: "They left us with deep damage. Generational trauma. Economic ruin in some cases. The left us with many unanswered questions. Where are our children? Where and what is the process of the investigation into those that were responsible for the deaths of Renee and Alex?"

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because:

1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it.

2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

Pass it on: Let’s all go out to dinner tonight and show our restaurants we love them. If Homan says they’re going, let’s celebrate. It could be a VE Day style all-cities love up. What say you Minnesota?

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Operation Metro Surge is an attack on Minnesota's values of freedom, democracy, and generosity.

No community in America should have to face the carnage and lasting damage inflicted on Minnesota communities by President Trump.

Rand Paul to ICE officials on Pretti's killing: "Because people within the government made conclusions immediately that he was a terrorist and an assassin, people aren't believing that it's gonna be an honest investigation ... there has to ultimately be repercussions ... it's inexcusable."

No ICE in Minnesota.

Bring our neighbors back.

Close the camps.

Reparations for our communities.

Abolish ICE.

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

I wonder how much of this is just to appease Congress as they're trying to get a DHS funding bill.

Minnesota's resistance be praised, but the struggle goes on. These thugs will be terrorizing other communities, and ICE needs to be abolished and immigration policy and procedure rebuilt from scratch.
Homan: "Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed."

Don't trust, and also verify. But I'll cautiously take the good news.

My daughter is off on a school trip to Italy that she worked and saved so hard for. She goes to a Catholic school and the itinerary includes an audience with the Pope. She is bringing a set of dice to get them blessed.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News
About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.
