What I mean is this doesn’t change laws or the Constitution -you can’t do that w/ a memo. It does make crystal clear ICE are systematically instructed to violate both w/ impunity & dgaf so while we shouldn't concede this authority we need to recognize reality & strategize beyond asking for a warrant
This fucking piece of paper doesn’t “authorize” ICE to do anyfuckingthing it is a pure power grab
They are simply claiming authority they don’t currently have.
Yes, the law is not real & the Constitution will be interpreted in ways that serve power and also let’s not do the coup for them please.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Just left messages for Schiff and Padilla and talked to a nice young staffer in Judy Chu’s office. As we’ve seen with Jeffries, these calls are making a difference and we should keep it up. (I say this as someone who HATES making phone calls but hates seeing my neighbors kidnapped even more)

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

Just a reminder that with all the stories we're hearing from families impacted by ICE, there are many many more stories you are not hearing because people are literally in hiding and need to keep their stories secret.

As I wrote for Rolling Stone, this was the most dangerous bill for trans health care of the Trump 2.0 era because it would potentially include a Hyde amdt for trans care without the votes to kill it.
That it’s not in the bill is a big deal and reveals it was a poison pill for Dems to fund the govt

So many words spilled on this and the biggest problem isn’t fraud, it’s that these programs still aren’t even close to meeting the actual need. And in neighborhoods dealing with chronic poverty, children are still going hungry every day

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
