Mayor Johnson declines to immediately promise to veto this measure -- or rule it out: "I have serious concerns about this measure."
It could create a black market and push law-abiding stores out of business, he adds.

Devastating.
Today Dallas County declared Tommy Lee Walker innocent of a 1953 murder for which he was wrongfully executed 70 years ago. Arrested at 19, executed within 3 years. A life stolen. Justice much delayed. Awed by the Walker family's persistence. So proud of this @innocenceproject team.
BREAKING: 70 years after his wrongful execution, Tommy Lee Walker is declared innocent.
“The court’s declaration today provides some semblance of belated justice to Mr. Walker’s legacy, and to his son, our client Edward Smith,” said Chris Fabricant. https://bit.ly/3LVoOKA

The justices keep returning to the hypo of a Fed governor posting pro-Nazi videos to ask whether that would meet the bar for for-cause removal. The idea that this kind of content would obviously cross the line seems a bit farcical given some of the material that DHS regularly posts on social media

Democrats have no obligation to support a bill that not only funds the dystopian scenes we are seeing in Minneapolis but will allow DHS to replicate that playbook of brutality in cities all over this country.

This is the right take morally and politically. If your Dem rep or senator has said something along these lines, shower praise on them! If they haven't taken a stance, you should be pissed, and let them know that too. And if they're up for reelection in a safe seat in a competitive primary, well...

This is window dressing at best; it will not stop ICE invading our cities and attacking our neighbors. Absolutely crazy for any Democrat to move money to ICE while they're occupying the twin cities and more invasions are looming.
Minibus is out. Democrats were able to include some guardrails in about ICE:
-restricts ICE to spending $3.8 billion of its annual budget
on detention as opposed to being able to spend $10 billion
-$20 million that must be used for body cameras 1/

This MS NOW documentary from Houston shows 1.) federal officers appearing to ram an immigrant’s van with their vehicle, 2.) officers placing a high school student in a chokehold and 3.) confiscating the 16-year-old’s phone (which was later found to have been sold at a tech-for-cash pawn shop kiosk)
