How many of these pictures do you think the arrestees will use on their dating website profiles?
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

“Kids are dying in the concentration camps. We must reform them,” is really everything wrong with the Democratic Party today. It’s, “Hire more women as camp guards,” but real.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.
We need to reform immigration detention.

I put on “Istanbul (not Constantinople)”
She asked me if it was The Rolling Stones.

<whispers> Say, “Abolish ICE.” It’ll feel so good. BlueSky will fall immediately in love. I will make more celebratory calls to your Atlanta office.
I can’t think of something more un-American than a federal law enforcement agency that can:
Enter homes without a judicial warrant.
Patrol our streets in unmarked vehicles.
Demand papers at random.
ICE has become a threat to our American freedoms.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.

When faced with the overwhelming deadly power of the state, weaker groups will organize in similar ways? Brilliant insight, chief.

As a reminder, this is the guy who regularly and deliberately dresses up like a Nazi. So much so that the Germans are like, “Hey, guy? Wtf?” This is another example of them daring you to disagree with their false reality.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

A couple things in this poll you might want to mention the next time you call your Dems in Congress. 62% of Dems STRONGLY support abolishing ICE. They may want to think about that if they have a primary coming up. Abolish ICE is also now +12 among independent voters. Our reps need to get onboard.

Do military lawyers tend to have much experience doing federal prosecution work? Lawyers are not plug and play.
This is how fascism works.
They are the executioners, the judge, and the jury.
Stand strong, Minnesota.
They are going to find out real quick that a civilian court isn't a kangaroo court tribunal.

There are approximately 3 million undocumented persons in Texas and Florida, and there are about 100,000 in Minnesota. Ask yourself why ICE has been deployed to MN, but not even close to the same way in FL and TX. This isn't about immigration, it is all about politics and retribution.
