Three Members of Congress showed up to inspect the actions of federal officers in their state and the federal officers drew their weapons?
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

To recap, Trump held a meeting with oil executives about his big scheme to convince them that conditions are stable enough for them to get involved in Venezuela.
He proceeded to wander around the room and even read a private note Rubio passed to him out loud, thus restoring everyone's confidence.

Kind of crazy how much this was described as “getting up to look at his ballroom.” But isn’t it still just a hole in the ground?

Amazing to me that Donald Trump has not been asked once to comment on this insanely Neo-Nazi post from his Homeland Security department, nor asked who are the 50 to 60 *million* US citizens that his DHS say they want to ‘deport.’

Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

Cities and states can and should fire law enforcement officers unwilling to follow orders of elected officials. And they should make that very clear up front. Act like you're in charge. Because you are.
Yeah to say a bit more if a mayor doesn’t think they can order police to confront ICE because the police are disloyal to their democratic representatives then a mayor should say that outloud instead of pretending it’s a firepower issue.

I think the more important question here that no one is asking (or wants to ask) is: would cops even be willing to arrest their buddies? And if they refuse, what does that mean? And if they agree, do we now have a war between different state and federal militarized US agencies?

At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

Good reporting that explains how ICE/CBP are creating the conditions that allow them to justify the use of violence by ignoring basic best practices when it comes to traffic stops.
The majority of people shot by ICE/CBP with these stops are citizens.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:
* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The utter disorganization, incompetence, ill discipline, and lack of training here is staggering.
Being there at all is deliberate provocation. They're not protecting anything. ICE could lie low, or leave entirely. But no, they want to incite a violent response to justify further violence.

What is the point of appropriations if the White House can just cut off spending against its enemies?

They’re targeting and invading Minnesota. Cutting off all of our federal funding and flooding our state with federal agents with no purpose. They’re here to terrorize, cause chaos to justify their unlawful cruelty. Enough.
