Fun fact: if you show a copy of the constitution to an ICE agent, he will hiss and recoil like Nosferatu from a cross.

The southern frontier is quiet enough that Border Patrol agents have time to go brutalize Minnesotans.

But people are still crossing.

Who are they? I found out in a peculiar way—by getting briefly confused for a smuggler and stopped on the Rio Grande: www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...
Is Anyone Still Crossing the Border? Yes, Actually.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has boasted that border crossings have dropped to zero. That’s not true.

Not great news for Carney’s plan to double down on LNG, but good news for the climate if the LNG projects he was pushing become uneconomical.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Chris is right here re: the arresting of journalists. It's s sign of weakness first and foremost, as the exercise of power without authority often is.
“On Saturday, as this longest of months comes to a close, a federal judge in Texas granted a writ of habeas corpus ordering the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias.”

In today’s Law Dork:
Minnesota's effort to end the surge is rejected as journalists are arrested, but pushback continues
A judge denied Minnesota's ambitious request — a day after Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were arrested. But, in Texas, a judge orders 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his dad released.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.

Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵
Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

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.

This is a good point re: Portland today

This wasn't on federal land

It wasn't when agents were claiming to do any enforcement activity

It was federal agents shooting gas at children and union families in the streets

Im not a lawyer, but I dont see how qualified immunity counts here

It's assault
People need to understand that this protest was approved by city. The fact that the public still got gassed & flash bangs shows that city does NOT have the public’s back.

ICE/CBP want to terrify people into submission and compliance so that they can operate with impunity, unimpeded, in semi-secrecy. It is not working. In every urban center these masked goons descend upon, the local community is rallying in solidarity.

Dear God. Horrible.
I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005.

There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.
