Lawyer for the state, Lindsey Middlecamp, representing Minnesota in Minnesota v. Noem, said this in a hearing today

Federal agents are trying to restrict travel of witnesses and legal observers of ICE activities

Not just protestors which is bad too — witnesses

Yet another Five Alarm Fire moment
one witness had global entry status revoked. someone caught agent saying "registered owner of this car going to have hard time traveling again"
standard of proof is very low here. fair showing of success. we've certainly made that showing. manner & [nature] of metro surge impacting pbulic ..

The union that represents CBP agents calling for Noem and Miller to step down or be fired. A Catholic Cardinal calling for Congress to defund ICE. Yes and yes.

Long way to go yet but I think it's worth pointing out that the entire rightwing media ecosystem went all in on the idea that Americans, or at least enough of us, would accept the idea that the government should be able to murder people in the street and they failed utterly

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

My Mayor.
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

In the midst of all the horrors, a fire last week claimed my niece’s family’s home in St Paul, including their 3 cats and her mom’s prosthetic limb. Her dad is in the ICU with a brain bleed. It’s not safe for them to leave their temporary housing. Please help if you can.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.
