In Germany, a lot of houses have these Stolpersteines on their sidewalks or stoops. They’re a memorial to victims of the Holocaust who were ripped from that home. Some houses have a few. Other houses have many.
ICE has started going door to door in America.

A federal judge in Boston interrupted the administration’s efforts to force 15,000 people with legal status in the US to leave by revoking their parole just days before Christmas. Learn who these people are & ask yourself how this makes us any safer. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
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

The thing about the Boston Massacre— the fruits of arbitrary power— was not that the colonists were universally in the right. Things were thrown at the soldiers. But, the presence of a standing army escalated conditions. The use of force that night was not proportional. Citizens died needlessly.

3/ On the operation itself, this is all we get:

Even most of Trump's past reports provide more.
