Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Oh, look! The guy in charge of deporting people for being antisemitic is antisemitic himself. Is that where self-deportation kicks in?
So shocking that the tiny dude with the Nazi haircut and Nazi coat who likes to harass people in the streets is an actual Nazi.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.
She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

Across the US, children & teens, stepped into the streets to confront the regime and ICE. In places, they were so young they required police escorts; in others, they stood their ground as MAGA extremists attempted to intimidate them.

Goldman: They’re still covering up, because only half of the documents have been released.
I don’t understand why they get to decide—without explanation—why half of the material should be held back. Trump’s name is all over it. So now we know why there was such a cover-up…

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
