"It was always the case that the sheer volume of outright kidnappings — the snatching of people with legal status — would create a flood of cases that would overwhelm Minnesota’s Federal judiciary, both the US Attorney’s Office and the courts."

10 Simple Questions for Congress to Ask Immigration Officials

- Overstaying a visa is not a crime (that's nearly 50% of all undocumented migrants)

- Unlawful entry (18 usc 1325) is only a misdemeanor. For vast majority of those, the statute of limitations expired long ago

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

These so called “leaders” making statements is why we are here. No action. Just words. More words. More words and red lines. Once those are discarded and red lines are crossed, we’ll get MORE statements, just slightly reworded and rewritten. But NO action from these “leaders”

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Countries around the world are starting to dump US treasury bonds. China, Sweden and now the EU are going to flood the marked with dumped US bonds. This is serious. Perhaps even Congress and Senate Republicans will have the sense to see the impending financial disaster, and act.

He Attacks Greenland (confusing it with Iceland), threatens war over losing the Nobel Prize, claims towns look better with military presence, and rambles unintelligibly during important speeches.

To all those listening or watching the Jack Smith testimony, remind yourself that at no time has any Republican offered a single piece of evidence that contradicts any of Jack Smith’s conclusions about Trump‘s criminal activity regarding the 2020 election.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

It is very naive to think that the tensions over Greenland have been reduced, along with the threat it represents, after Trump's speech.

Latching on to a single phrase, glossing over the rest of it, is sticking ones head in the sand.

Hoping it just goes over isn't a strategy.

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."
