AP: Minnesota lawsuit says ICE crackdown is "arbitrary and capricious," because other states aren't seeing commensurate crackdowns, and "ICE agents have no expertise in combatting fraud in government programs," which is what the Trump administration says this is about.👏👏👏

Minnesota and the Twin Cities sue the federal government to stop Trump's immigration crackdown
The lawsuit alleges that Operation Metro Surge violates federal law because it’s arbitrary and capricious, since it says other states aren’t seeing commensurate crackdowns.

Today, we were officially notified by USG that Pres Trump's memo that revoked my security clearance w/o due process is no longer in effect over me. My access eligibility to classified info has been restored.
On Dec 23, 2025, a federal court ruled his action was unconstitutional. Rule of Law wins!

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Hoping the Dems to unify to refuse funding the government as-is. We can’t vote to fund ICE. Call your reps and tell them not to fund the government as-is on 1/30.
.@PabloReports: Will you vote against any additional funding increases for ICE?
Kim: After what we’ve seen, I don’t see how we can continue to support it. With the Republican majorities, they have just been enabling this lawlessness that we’ve been seeing.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

In Minneapolis this afternoon—
Hundreds are streaming across the snow and ice into Powderhorn Park for a rally and march demanding ICE leave Minnesota.
It is bitterly cold. There are hardcore Midwesterners out here making their way in with trekking poles.

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

I've noticed that ICE agents keep yelling "18 USC § 111" at people filming them. I'd like to see the memo they all got on that talking point, and I'd like to know who sent it. Filming ICE or alerting your neighbors to their presence doesn't violate § 111.

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting.
Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.
