THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN.

This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.

They released him an hour later.

My guess here is that rising homophobia among Gen Z is part of the flattening of the divide between urban and rural areas. Blue counties and cities are going to stay uniformly accepting, while red counties will continue becoming less and less safe for anyone who isn't a straight white person.

“What I’m hoping is that we get away from the finger-pointing, the brinksmanship, the name-calling, the dehumanization of people — that we look at people and start to treat people like people ... That’s the reason why I want to stay engaged,” Hoffman said.
Shot nine times, Sen. John Hoffman is resolute in continuing political life
Hoffman was shot in the doorway of his home in the same spate of violence that killed House DFL Leader Melissa Hortman.

Republicans quote MLK’s I Have a Dream because it’s safe. Ignoring the parts about racism, militarism, poverty, and white moderates being an obstacle to civil rights.

Selective memory is driving the anti-DEI panic and the not-so-quiet erasure of Black history.

The current polling is only like 50/50 on eliminating ICE but every politician needs to ask themselves "Will Trump show more tact and thoughtfulness with how he uses ICE over the next year or will he double down on everything driving ICE's growing unpopularity?"
I think the answer is clear.
Gallego ("moderate" Dem) is going with "ICE needs to be totally torn down" (not "reform and retrain"). This is a pivot point for the country on immigration. You have been seeing this in the data for a while, and now officials are snapping to the public opinion www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ice-is-a-7...

Just another reason why the President of the United States must not be “involved” in decisions about approving megamergers.

It’s simple: Any review needs to be based on the law and facts — not Donald Trump’s political opinions and personal investments.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

The problem of expanding the smash and grabs to include all people who don't look American enough, regardless of citizenship or immigration status, is it becomes obvious we're not debating immigration policy. It's a government campaign of racialized, militarized street thuggery and harassment.

Some?

Sure?
As ICE was racing to add 10,000 new officers to its force, an AI error in how their applications were processed sent many new recruits into field offices without proper training.

The majority of the new applicants were flagged as law enforcement officers, but many had no experience.

An AI tool used to help ICE identify potential new recruits with law enforcement experience wrongly categorized some potential new officers, sources say.

I’ve seen a lot going around about these cells reserved for US citizens, and it’s worth reminding people that ICE officers (and immigration officers in general) do in fact have legal authority to arrest US citizens for any felonies or “offenses against the United States” witnessed by an officer.
Missed this a few days ago:

Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.

Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.
