🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

The Star Tribune had an insane graphic about the presence of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. There are more immigration officers in the metro right now than local police officers.

This is the alleged video of ICE murdering someone in MN today. It's not graphic, but it's egregious and it's clear that the DHS statement saying ICE did it in self-defense is completely bogus.
This is the video.

And placing one’s trust in Trump has never backfired so I think he can rest easy.
GOP Rep. Pat Harrigan: "We certainly do not want to have that traditional regime change discussion that we've watched fail over and over over the last 20 years, but I've get enough confidence and trust in President Trump that they've got a plan for this."

Delcy Rodríguez, meanwhile, is back in the country and directly contradicted Trump and Rubio. Says, there's no deal, and only Maduro is President.
This could be true and she is trying to keep unity in the face of further American attacks.

Trump says that he has talked to Delcy Rodríguez, VP of 🇻🇪 and will work with her "to make 🇻🇪 great again." He says that M. C. Machado, the Peace nobel, "doesn't have the support or respect within the country" and not afraid of "putting of boots on the ground" to put the 🇺🇸 companies back in 🇻🇪.

The question of whether or not Maduro "deserved" to be taken out or not is the wrong question. The real question is whether or not this will lead to a better Venezuela in the future.

Here is the Department of Homeland Security touting this new ban by describing the (among others) spouses and children of U.S. citizens coming on visas as "foreign invaders."
It has never been about legal versus illegal. They hate legal immigration. They want to stop it. That's the story.

Even the use of capital letters for "Designated Terrorist Organization" in this celebration of illegality is enraging.
It makes the answer to the "how possible" question so obvious.

The lawless killing spree continues.
The administration justifies this slaughter by claiming there’s an armed conflict.
But it won’t even tell the U.S. public who the supposed enemies are.
Of course, there’s no armed conflict.
And outside armed conflict, we call premeditated killing murder.
