What ICE is doing is terrorizing an entire community to rid it of anyone who is not white. They function like a modern day slave patrol, run by the federal government.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”
He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary.
Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

Iran is under an internet blackout. Iranian protestors aren’t seeing Trump’s posts (who knows how many usually would, but they aren’t now). This message isn’t for them.
A show of pretend toughness for Iran regime change advocates, and pretend concern while violently repressing protestors at home.

It now makes more sense why the Trump Administration is trying to take full control over this investigation because it’s hard to see this as anything other than murder by an agent of the state.
