The New York Times not linking to anyone who’s been reporting this — and then pushing it — is quite annoying!
Also, my story is much more detailed and actually explains things going on, in addition to linking to three other reports from other outlets. www.lawdork.com/p/the-system...

"The system sucks," or what a federal lawyer's comments really tell us about the Trump admin
Julie Le's comments are shocking, but they are a problem of the Trump admin’s own making. And it goes way beyond one lawyer new to the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office.

Interesting plan to promote the heroes of the Minnesota resistance
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.
Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

If we had a halfway decent opposition party in Canada, they’d endorse the words Carney used today, and then hammer him relentlessly on implementation or lack thereof.

In standard diplomatic terms, this is shockingly blunt. It's also absolutely correct, and I'm glad to see that Carney is clear about where we stand, and willing to describe that reality on the world stage.

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”
