We're at the scene of a protest in downtown Minneapolis outside the Canopy by Hilton hotel, where ICE agents are believed to be staying. Photographer Alex Kormann estimates at least 1,000 people are in attendance.

Some 600 immigrant kids were sent to federal custody by ICE in 2025.

A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.

Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.

They said universal childcare was impossible. They said Albany would block it. They were wrong.

So Aaron, I came across an article from 2014. Between 2010 and 2012 US border agents stepped in front of vehicle 62 times to justify shooting. Guess whose name is mentioned Jon Ross has been under review for repeatedly doing this

This is real and it is happening.
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

I'd love to see a reporter ask rank-and-file ICE agents if they understand that the administration is clearly hoping one of them gets killed out there.

"Are you ready to give your life to become a meme pushed by incels on Twitter for a couple days?"
The White House surely wants to see one of these ICE crackdowns lead to violent pushback. They've got untrained unqualified goons acting with impunity. It seems deliberately designed to provoke an incident.

But do the goons get this? Do they know the big plan is to get a couple of them killed?
Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.
Classic Democratic no-win. All of them voted against the OBAA, which supercharged ICE funding and hiring. But they won't say they'd "abolish ICE" so they'll get yelled at (mostly by people who'll vote for them in the midterms after threatening not to).

I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

Donald Trump is President of, by, and for Wall Street. Megabank CEOs are cashing in on his deregulation to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Meanwhile, families are struggling with overdraft fees, credit card bills, auto loan payments, and more.

When a cop murdered my big brother at a road block 21 years ago, their post-facto justification was that he tried to run over a cop.

His foot released the brake after the officer shot him in the chest, and the car bumped an officer.
