Just returned home from the anti-ICE protest in Portland today. A 100% peaceful crowd that the Portland Police Department (PPD) estimated to be "in the thousands" marched past ICE's Portland HQ.
ICE, of course, responded with a barrage of tear gas and chemical rounds to suppress free speech.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Dems need to demand Miller's removal as a condition of funding for DHS past the 2-week CR. There are two weeks for them to plaster this judge's ruling into their public statements, constituent newsletters, TV hits, and more.
Remember, those daily quotas are the sick brainchild of one Stephen Miller. Just unfathomably awful that one person's hatefulness drives so much government policy.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

The House is not in Washington and plans to vote when it returns Monday. That means a government shutdown this weekend, which will have little impact if it remains brief.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.
It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.
