ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus.
This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Hegseth is a liar with a lot of people trying to cover for him.
Hegseth's "fog of war" claim is nonsense, if this account of what video shows is correct: The two men obviously were visible.
Tom Cotton's claims also in doubt: Rep Smith says drugs not visible. The decision that the men were still in the fight looks very shaky:
