Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

In the budget discussions, Dems should refuse to fund ICE unless agents can’t wear masks, they must identify themselves and must read people their Miranda rights. Even with these conditions, ICE funding should be limited to border operations.
Stop further shootings.

Tense scene earlier this afternoon as protesters follow Border Control Commander Greg Bovino and his caravan around in Minneapolis. At one point, Commander Bovino tussled with a protester, both slipping in the snow.

Again, I'm convinced that the easiest amendment to pass is one that eviscerates unitary-executive theory nonsense:
"Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to grant the President unenumerated powers derived from monarchical privileges or prerogatives."

Hey, CBP isn't allowed to do any of the stuff it's doing in Minneapolis even within the confines of its extremely ridiculous "100 miles from any border" jurisdiction. It's 300 miles from Canada and 160 miles to Lake Superior. They're breaking the law standing around, let alone beating up protesters.
Border Patrol typically only has legal authority within 100 mi. of the U.S. border. That raised questions when Cdr. Gregory Bovino was at the scene of the fatal shooting of Renee Good.
MPR News spoke with legal scholar César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández about that agency’s jurisdiction in Minnesota.
