ICE was just going up & down central getting out their cars with pepper spray and guns, but we had so many legal observers it made a huge difference.
If you’re vulnerable at all we are asking you stay inside today & remember don’t open your door without seeing a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

Morrison: "We were met when we came up to the gates of the ICE facility with a phalanx of about 25 armed officers who were quite menacing in their approach. So to suggest 3 members of Congress who were there unarmed to conduct oversight is somehow an inflammatory action is patently untrue."

ICE is mostly targeting women.
That’s because the government has already said they are not in charge of policing sexual assault in detention facilities…
These facilities are on US soil, but they’re not in charge of policing them?
No, I didn’t make this up.

This small man (in all of the ways) needs to feel big so he commits a battery on a woman who is merely taping him with her cellphone.
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

These thugs recognize the GOP's "Beautiful Bill" rendered ICE into a massive internal occupation force that, quite literally, assaults our nation's democratic institutions.

‘I don’t hear threatening behavior:’ Fmr. NYPD Lt. analysis of new Renee Good shooting video
Newly released footage from the smartphone of Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis, sheds new light on the shooting. Breaking down the footage with Ali Velshi, Pace University School of Criminal Justice adjunct professor and former NYPD Lieutenant Dr. Darrin Porcher calls the incident “a travesty” and says that Ross’s behavior goes against policing best practices. Porcher says that despite claims that Good was threatening Ross, “that’s not what I see in the video” and adds that the Trump administration is “drawing conclusions far too soon.”
