I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

this is explicitly forbidden by the fourth amendment, there should not need to be "guidance" because it is IN THE CONSTITUTION & in fact the drafters used these exact examples in constructing the amendment
ICE has been authorizing officers to forcibly enter homes without judicial warrants—a reversal of longstanding guidance to protect people's constitutional rights.

Senior reporter @samanthamichaels.bsky.social spoke with a family in Memphis that experienced this.

More than a little late, but a great development that will hopefully find echoes in other local PDs
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

Proud of Sen. Feingold for his consistent stance for progressive values in Wisconsin, and I'll forever lament that we could neither keep him in the Senate in 2010 nor return him to that seat in 2016.

Kristi Noem and Kash Patel are right: Alex Pretti had no right to possess a gun during a protest. What if he had killed someone?
