This development would've been extraordinary, especially coming from Chief Judge Schiltz, even *before* last week's contretemps over DOJ's (now-dropped) attempt to strong-arm him into signing arrest warrants for the other five Cities Church protestors.

Schiltz isn't just talking about *this* case.
👀 Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appeal personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders.

NEW: In court filing today, attorney argues federal agents threatened to an arrest an attorney near scene of last week's Minnesota church protest

"Based on their belief that she might have taken" a phone from one of the people arrested

Turns out.. agents already had the phone

It’s good that Bovino is out and the administration is publicly backpedaling BUT this happened today (and probably many more, too).
My neighbor, a single mother of two in South Minneapolis, was abducted today and everything about it is heartbreaking. There is an immediate (and steep) financial need for lawyer costs.

I know there are so, so many of these right now, but please consider this dear family: gofund.me/9516b14f7

We Are Witnessing the self-immolation of America Thanks to Donald Trump

Authoritarians abroad are joyous as Trump has voluntarily chosen to destroy America's reputation, strength, & post WW2 alliances, ushering in an era of violence, chaos, & weakness.

Every free state in the US should join CA in this important investigation.
It’s time to investigate.

I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.

The parents of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse killed by federal agents in Minnesota, remember their son as a “kindhearted soul.” They also called the Trump administration’s response to his death “reprehensible.”

Cato Institute’s Scott Lincicome: “More than half of all US imports are industrial inputs, often traded within the same multinational firm (US and foreign affiliate). Tariffs throw sand in these finely-tuned gears, harming the very industry the tariff-loving government says it wants onshore.”

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Homan to MN, Trump speaks with Walz, Leavitt marginally distances Trump from Noem—all show Trump’s feeling a little heat. But these gestures mean as much as Putin suggesting he’s changed and wants peace with Ukraine.

Don’t fall for it.

Insist: ICE and CBP off the streets of Minnesota.

Alex Pretti was a beloved son and Minneapolis community member.

He loved the outdoors and dedicated his days to taking care of our veterans as an ICU nurse at the VA.

While protecting a fellow community member, he was violently executed in broad daylight by a group of masked federal agents.

I have nothing but rage and contempt for the people who support these monsters.
