Wolfers: This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. But that’s exactly what this president is doing

People are stacked up like animals in leaked footage from an ICE Black Site inside of 31 Hopkins Plaza, Baltimore, MD. “More than 50 people in rooms, no beds, no bathrooms, people lying on filthy floors.”
Where’s all that ICE money going? We need accountability.

Maria Bartiromo implied it was illegal to film federal agents. It's not. She then said that Alex Pretti "holding a gun up to Border Patrol" Pretti never touched his legal gun during the entire interaction he had with the Border Patrol agents when they killed him.

WELKER: Part of the outrage people are expressing is they feel like you're asking them to believe something they don't see. Is that was the administration is asking?
BLANCHE: You shouldn't try to gaslight the administration about what happened. That was not a peaceful protest.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

NEW: Minnesota BCA was denied access to the crime scene. They got a WARRANT and DHS STILL BLOCKED THEM. So DHS doesn’t need a warrant to enter your house, but an actual warrant to enter the crime scene is denied?

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.

It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face.
