This is what criminals & soon-to-be-sanctioned dictators do: set up a cozy personal nest egg in a country that won't extradite them & has no agreements that would compel them to enforce other countries' sanctions.
That's why sanctioned Russian oligarchs made a beeline for the UAE in 2022.

Someone just called in ICE knocking doors in Uptown and within 5 minutes maybe 100 people had arrived. Probably a false alarm but extremely hard to see how ICE operates with this kind of suffocating neighborhood response. Incredible work Minneapolis. ICE, just give up and get out already.

Martial Law was always the plan.
They will not allow elections because they would be removed and held accountable for their crimes against this nation.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down...

Witness Sam Warburton said he was able to get through an alleyway and could see the front of a north Minneapolis house, where agents in tactical gear were shooting through a second-floor window, he said.
Live: Federal agent shoots, injures man in north Minneapolis
Gov. Tim Walz addressed Minnesotans in a live broadcast Wednesday night on the surge of federal immigration agents in the state. A federal judge has declined to immediately rule on the ICE surge in Minnesota.

Announcements were made toward the house over a loudspeaker, Warburton said. The door was broken down, and at least two flash-bang devices were used inside. Warburton said he didn't know which agency they were from, but all were wearing tactical gear rather than traditional police uniforms.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
