The article clearly states this is NOT an ICE office and there are no ICE officers working from it, or bringing detainees to it. It actually houses a human trafficking task force.

A better question would be - how is it the county has never collected any rent - for three years? No lease? No audits?

Too bad the president was dozing off at the time.

I am amazed that no one has shot at an ICE officer yet, let alone spraying a whole unit. Such admirable restaint makes ICE look even worse.

Minnesota doesn't hold a candle next to Washington DC and Mar A Lago. Corruption is a prerequisite.

Pity poor Europe. Not only a major war on their eastern flank, but now their strongest supposed ally is threatening their western flank. Can they handle tow such widely separated wars simultaneously? Why can't everyone just sty home?

Pity poor Europe. Not bad enough they have a huge war on their eastern front in Ukraine, but now their supposed biggest ally, USA, is threatening war from the western side. This is a massive own goal by Trump.

He's going to talk about himself, like he did at Ford this weeks, like always.

Truly excellent article in The Nation showing activists behind the MPLS Hilton decision to refuse ICE reservations and Avelo refusing any more deportation charter flights. eg. Hit ICE vendors like Amazon (through Whole Foods), and all their other vendors. Bravo.

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators.
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

Just know that in an authtoritarian regime, the government has a protected monopoly on violence. Anyone interfering with that monopoly will be crushed.

In my haste ploughing through the previous night's posts, I misread a figure. USA is not nearly as bad as Gestapo in agents per capita, though we're working on it, hard. It was not the damning post the author meant it to be. I am normally far more reliable. My apologies to you.

Just read here this morning that the USA has more ICE officers per capita than Nazi Germany had Gestapo agents. We're number one!

Trump's attack on Venezuela was the finest gift to both Putin (Ukraine) and Xi (Taiwan) that could even be imagined. Meanwhile, Trump has already said the US will not honor its NATO commitment to fight for attacked members.
