Absolutely wild that while * gestures broadly at all this * is happening, ICE leadership is still actively telling agents oh I'm p sure you have the legal power to just arrest people willy nilly, go for it
Scoop: Federal agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo reviewed by The New York Times.

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

A stunning statement by former head of the IDF, Bogie Ya'alon.
He references the words of Y. Leibowitz, who stated in 1967 that the end result of the occupation will be the fostering of 'judeo-nazis'. Settlers who believe in Jewish supremacy.
“Prof. Yeshayahu Leibowitz was right and I was wrong.

At least 2/3 of my councilors are interested in engaging in oversight - thank you @councilorkanal.bsky.social and @councilorepg.bsky.social - no surprise that @councilordanryan.bsky.social is again MIA from doing something positive for Portland.
Finally, I want to thank those who initially signed on to my 9/12 agenda request: (Councilors Smith, Pirtle-Guiney, Dunphy, Avalos, Morillo, Koyama-Lane, and Kanal). Be sure to thank them and encourage them to vote yes. And for the others, let them know what you think about the role of oversight.

I would bet my *life* that this is dissembling, misleading, face saving PR work. There is 0% chance that Trump's DOJ-CR division is gonna meaningfully investigate or charge Trump's DHS officers.
JUST IN: DAG Todd Blanche suggested Alex Pretti shooting is under investigation by DOJ's Civil Rights Division, which indicates it is not being treated as an assault on federal officer but as a potential civil rights violation by the officers who shot Pretti.

Senate Democrats’ ICE Proposals Are a Huge and Inexcusable Whiff
Their opening bid should have been eight or 10 bold proposals. But as usual, the Democrats start by negotiating with themselves.
