It seems that the proclivity toward serious criminality (felonies) is far higher among ICE and CBP agents than among immigrants taken as a whole. Stats on this subject are persistent and offer the same results.

It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color.

Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”

The videos of the abduction today in heavy traffic in Columbia Heights is truly one of the most dystopian things I’ve seen since Alex’s murder.
Ice surrounded a vehicle in heavy traffic boxing it in and then pulled everyone out of the car while other people were honking and then they just took off.

Democrats should defund and restrain ICE to the degree possible. And they should insist on this condition at least: No ICE (or Border Patrol) anywhere near the polls or early voting election locations this fall.

A point I keep making: the people in immediate danger, the observers and especially the car patrollers, cannot be anonymous. We’re following ICE; they have our license plates. It’s frustrating to weaken the network to (ineffectually) protect the anonymity of people who are literally at home.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.
