We're currently on track for a protracted shutdown of DHS, and not the rest of the government, which is what everybody said they wanted a few weeks ago.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

A quarter of the "Mass Deportations Now" party thinks ICE has gone too far. This is a good time to remember that a handful of Republicans in Congress could end this at any time.

Guys I was waiting for him to post footage - I KNOW HE HAS IT - but it seems like he may not. But last week I took Brad Lander on an ICE watch ridealong and he PERSONALLY CHASED OUT AN ICE CAR ON FOOT
I am not making this up. He walked right up to a lurking unmarked car and they tore out of town

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning.
A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Seeing some replies about how the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are distractions, but targeting journalists is straight out of the fascism playbook. It's not to distract from other issues -- the regime wants to chill critical coverage because they know they're unpopular.

I would beseech the national media to stop writing sentences like one I just read that said basically "ICE's time in Minnesota is almost up." That is NOT an established fact. Please do not turn away. Please check the readily available information from people on the ground and local journalists.
From everything I’m hearing and reading, nothing in the ground in the Twin Cities has meaningfully changed.
