Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots.
I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

To people posting business-as-usual book releases, marketing content, concert pics, birthday/anniversary posts, STOP unless you're also shining a light on the atrocities being perpetrated by ICE in MN. Just stop. You're either standing with us now or you're part of the fucking problem!! 1/2

I'm so proud to be a Minnesotan! It was cold beyond belief and we STILL showed up to march for human and Constitutional rights, to demand justice. GTFO of MN, ICE!

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Border Patrol typically only has legal authority within 100 mi. of the U.S. border. That raised questions when Cdr. Gregory Bovino was at the scene of the fatal shooting of Renee Good.
MPR News spoke with legal scholar César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández about that agency’s jurisdiction in Minnesota.

The last couple of weeks have been a doozy and I wasn’t sure I was up for my usual lighting extravaganza, but in the end, I could not resist bringing the light. Pro tip this year: instead of greasing my hands with aquaphor, I used some gloves left-over from when my dad was in hospice.

There are stacks of books on the floor in my bedroom. I have bookshelves, too—that's not the problem; just too many books. These are the ones on my early fall reading line-up. Some of them are newish; some have been in one of my stacks for a while, and I'm happy to finally pull them out. 1/3
