Ossoff: "There's a wickedness to the program. I don't know, pastor, where it is in scripture that it says deny care to the sick, take from those with the least to give to those with the most, violate the house of worship to hunt down the refugee. Where in the scripture are those lessons taught?"

Gov Tim Walz's office has now received a subpoena from DOJ, his office just confirmed.
Absolutely vile. The only people facing federal investigation of any kind right now for the killing of Renee Good are Minnesota officials who drew attention to it.

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.
It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.
This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.

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.
