“In Minneapolis, Liam is one of at least four children who have been detained in the last month … Similarly grotesque incidents involving kids are taking place across the country …”

Don’t ever let them get away with again trying to claim they’re the party of family values.
“Here is a literal preschooler wearing a Spider-Man backpack, just like all of our kids, as the hand of a much larger masked ICE agent holds onto his backpack, as if he were a flight risk.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil
Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

At no point have Trump officials sought to reassure Americans that there will be an impartial investigation of Renee Good's killing that builds confidence with stakeholders on all sides. Nor have officials meaningfully declared that they are willing to take active steps to avert future ICE killings.
On the money from @gregsargent.bsky.social: Vance "largely putting a softer face on Miller’s police state. And no one should let him get away with it."
In a normal administration, top officials express some concern with the victims of govt abuses. Vance blames them.

Much of the media is treating the vice president’s Minneapolis visit as an attempt to lower the temperature. If anything, he raised it.

“The family’s lawyer, Marc Prokosch, told The Guardian that Liam and his father had been seeking asylum in the U.S. and had an active case.”

“’The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,’ he said, per the outlet.”

Well, this is really something. A majority of *working class whites* disapprove of ICE, per new NYT poll.

Dovetails with the unpublished data that I got from Quinnipiac finding similar on working class more broadly (see below).

(cc @gelliottmorris.com )
Quinnipiac gave me unpublished data from new poll and it finds huge, huge, huge percentages of young and working class voters have seen video of Minneapolis shooting.

Majorities of both disapprove of ICE. Pundits are getting the working class/immigration wrong:

This f*cking liar
This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!

Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

An agent had taken Liam out of the car, led the boy to his front door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in, “in order to see if anyone else was home – essentially using a five-year-old as bait”, the superintendent said in a statement.
