Noticing the stark absence of agents of ICE, CBP, or any U.S. law enforcement agency standing up right now to say shooting people exercising their rights is unacceptable.

Make FEMA a Cabinet level position again. Get the Coast Guard out. Not sure putting it back under Department of Transportation is the right place as it has benefitted somewhat from all of the funding under DHS.
Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
For the love of all that is decent and holy: abolish ICE

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Appears to be 66 agreements/organizations, and further actions are required, presumably in keeping with international law. "Withdrawal" means nonparticipation/defunding for organizations like the Venice Commission and the International Law Commission.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

at this point if you vote for a GOP nominee you are our enemy. I'm sorry, that's where we are.
There is absolutely no reason for Dems to vote for GOP nominees, to facilitate the smooth operation of Congress, nor to withhold impeachment of the President and his appointees. Do it all.

State prosecutions are good and need to happen, but worth flagging there are lots of other things states can do. One of them would be cutting off all state assistance of any kind to federal law enforcement. Not just the limited sanctuary laws. Full cold stop, nothing. Also no data sharing, e.g. DMV.

Abolish Ice, fire them all, and then prosecute everyone, based on every complaint. I don't care if it takes a decade. I want these people ten years from now afraid that their friends and loved ones will find out they worked for ICE.
If ICE can do this to a random woman in a car, they could and would absolutely do this to any elected official, journalists, human rights lawyer, or immigration advocate they deem to be an enemy of the regime
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.
