Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

"ICE is nothing like the Brownshirts. One was an open paramilitary wing of an openly fascist political party, the other is an unaccountable government force operating without clear uniforms, identification, or transparency… for an openly fascist political party."
ICE Is Nothing Like the Brownshirts, Because the Brownshirts Actually Identified Themselves
Let’s get this out of the way: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is nothing like the Sturmabteilung, a.k.a. Hitler’s Brownshirts. Your main clue ...

It’s because they are losers in life and may have done well on a test that has little to no correlation with “intelligence” That arbitrary score is their only accomplishment and makes them feel entitled to greatness.
What is it about white nationalists that makes them obsessed with IQ, and “high IQ”? Clark was like that too. Always talking about how he was “five standard deviations above the norm” in IQ. We used to laugh at him behind his back about it.
Whistles are now WMDs, according to the "high IQ" crowd.

> "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

Finally remembered to go out some painter’s tape over the cameras on our Ring doorbells after reading this. We can use doorbells but not to feed footage to ICE, etc.

Agencies that use Flock can request that Ring doorbell users share footage to help with "evidence collection and investigative work."

Fox News once postured as the patriotic opposition to purported government tyranny. Right now, its primary purpose is to explain to viewers why it is good that masked agents of the state are executing Americans on the street. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

I hope the MN counter offer is “Go fuck yourselves. We want justice”
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The man murdered by ICE in Minneapolis, Minnesota while he bravely shielded women from being brutally attacked by Trump regime thugs has been identified as Alex Pretti.

He was a US citizen, a registered nurse, an athlete, a son, a brother, and a hero. The regime murdered him. #3E #GoodVsEvil

Arrest them or shut the fuck up
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Yesterday, Minneapolis conducted a general strike against ICE.

Today, ICE responds by murdering someone in cold blood in the street.

Guys, ICE is attacking and harassing ANYONE WHO IS NOT WHITE, HAS A FOREIGN-SOUNDING NAME, OR HAS AN ACCENT. When they jump out and grab you, and carry you off screaming, it doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or not! They’re not asking! I’ve seen it happen multiple times with my own eyes.
Does that mean these schools were upwards of 70% composed of undocumented families?

As a native Minnesotan (at least until I turned 18), this warms my heart and gives hope.
They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.
