Lindsey Halligan, along with Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi, go on the attack against Trump appointed federal Judge Novak in an extraordinary, pugilistic brief.
They accuse Novak of a “gross abuse of power” for asking why Halligan keeps falsely describing herself as a US Attorney.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

NEW: Court records obtained by @wired.com show that an FBI agent's testimony contradicted claims Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good, made under oath in December; the testimony also raises questions about Ross following his training. This is by @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:
FBI Agent’s Sworn Testimony Contradicts Claims ICE’s Jonathan Ross Made Under Oath
The testimony also calls into question whether Ross failed to follow his training during the incident in which he reportedly shot and killed Minnesota citizen Renee Good.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

NEW: Four days before oral arguments, Justice Sam "stock trader" Alito decides he "will not continue to participate" in a case involving oil companies.
This means that he did participate in certiorari stage proceedings, despite owning relevant stocks.
