*puts on tinfoil hat* but they fingerprinted him. It feels like they’re creating a large database of any person of color they come into contact with whether they have jurisdiction over them or not.
ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Look, everyone! A new last straw just dropped!
The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/U0fviLiM

Nearly all Epstein files still unreleased a month after Congress deadline
Over 2 million documents are under DoJ review despite ‘legal obligation’ from Epstein Files Transparency Act
The law was clear: Donald Trump’s Department of Justice was required to disclose all investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein by 19 December 2025, with rare exceptions.
One month after this deadline mandated by Congress’s Epstein Files Transparency Act, however, Trump’s justice department has not complied with this law, prompting questions about when – and whether – authorities will ever release investigative documents about the late sex offender.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

This is confirmed to be part of a document assembled by ER physicians and sent to the UCP to get them to address the healthcare crisis.
A patient awaiting care in a hallway died without ever making it to an actual care space.
Their death was likely preventable.

A salute to cunning dilettantes of The Munk Debate who brought Bannon to Toronto, well paid & feted, as part of their very serious program of rigorous intellectual discourse for the Canadian establishment.
Bannon: Canada is in the vital national security interest of the US. This is inextricably linked to Hemispheric Defense. Hemispheric Defense for the US starts in Canada. Canada's rapidly changing, these people are hostile to the US. Not neutral. They're hostile to the United States of America.
NBC: Trump has privately intensified criticism of Canada, arguing it is too weak to defend its Arctic territory from Russia and China. He’s urging higher defense spending and deeper U.S.–Canada Arctic cooperation. Unlike Greenland, Trump is not seeking to acquire Canada or deploy U.S. troops there.
