There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"
Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

i recently had to explain to investors that it doesn't matter whether they can prove to regulators that climate change has a financial impact because this is a political dispute and not an evidentiary one
i once confronted one of these people at a public event with direct evidence that "gender surgery for minors" isn't a thing that happens and it made no impact.

The problem for democracy is that it will not survive three more years of such a system. We cannot hold free and fair elections if judges blindly accept the word of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel’s minions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...
Two cases and the grease that breaks democracy
The obvious lesson many are drawing is that ordinary citizens are more reliable protectors of democracy than judges in black robes.

used EVs are some of the best deals in automotive history, in terms of the delta between what they cost and what they cost to make
Most folks think about EV adoption progress as measures of 1) gross EVs sold 2) % sales of new vehicle market 3) total % of vehicle fleet.

But in reality, there are probably a couple dozen measures by which you can measure progress. This is one of them.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

The presumption of regularity is a privilege that the government is granted in court proceedings by which the court presumes they're acting in good faith and telling the truth. Judges are increasingly saying that the Trump administration has demonstrated that they no longer deserve that privilege.

The concept of “lying under oath” is up for grabs right now. All the Trump SCOTUS judges did it about Roe. Kennedy did it to get his post. If one of these fuckers isn’t prosecuted it will be crystal clear that there are zero repercussions for doing so, and everyone will lie forever.
