Departure marks large drop in agents on the ground but still leaves about 2,000 there, far above typical levels for state

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Meanwhile, land management agencies are being pushed out of leases and told to “diminish our square footage” so we can’t open visitor centers, offices, or storage for equipment.
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

This is Georgia Fort as she’s being arrested by federal agents. Apparently, they had a grand jury indictment in hand. She was arrested for being an independent journalist who filmed the Cities Church protest.

Is the file release to cover up the arrest of journalists exercising First Amendment rights, or are the arrests to cover up the files? The deliberate chaos playbook of the first and second DT administrations is on full display lately

Political Scientists would call it a "tactical concession" (RRS' Spiral Model). Human rights and democracy campaigners need to make sure it leads to more gains (positive spiral) instead of stalling progress (negative spiral).
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I don’t want to know they’re a fire fighter, paramedic, medical transporter, police officer, detective, or parking meter enforcement. Trouble is, with a year in service under their belt they can lateral or merit lromote to FBI, CIA, or any other fed law enforcement role.
