I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

Folks, please retweet this. Trump, Noem, and the rest are lying everywhere about what ICE is doing in MN. We have to do everything we can to make sure the country has a clear picture of what is going on.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.
How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

Listening to the pop music station on the radio in the cab here in Berlin. After a commercial, it went to the news. All of the words were in German in the lead story, except for three that I recognized: Minneapolis, violence, Trump. The #1 story even in Germany.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

That is correct. Trump has set a date to revoke Haitian protected status, and then set a date for the anti-Haitian pogrom to begin the next day.
ICE must go. Miller must go. Noem must go. Even Vance must go. Their ethnonationalist mania gets more violent every day and is going to destroy America.

“Don’t listen to the vilification from our national leaders.” That’s what Fr. Harry Tasto said about Alex Pretti — the Catholic nurse he served with for a decade.
One patient, Marta Crownheart, remembers him holding her hand for 20 minutes and praying with her when she thought she’d had a stroke.
