This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol.

An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This really changes nothing since the remaining ICE agents will continue their terror campaign, but it might be the sign of a crack in the dam?
Tom Homan, The White House official in charge of the Minnesota immigration enforcement surge, said he is drawing down the number of federal agents in the state.

“Effective immediately, we will drawdown 700 people — effective today,” Homan said at a press conference Wednesday morning.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Minneapolis is trying out new forms of resistance. They're doing pop-up blockade block parties. This one is on Cedar and 34th, a main route into the city. They have a stereo, food & a fire. MPD is present but not interfering. Lots of honks of support. ICE agents have been reported detouring around.

Every single time a Trumpist says “the rhetoric of the left is putting people in danger,” wave your middle finger in their face, because they are lying shitbirds without any principles.

I guess we’ve officially reached the Barricade stage of revolution.
People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is.

"That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

@amyklobuchar.com can we please stop pretending ICE is a legitimate government agency?
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
