While I was snooping around to get this answer, @statnews.com fucking scooped me! You can read the article here: share.google/m4HckXv8suky.... For the key points in the article, read below.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulโ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Just in case you werenโ€™t sure, the Trump administration is anti-LGBTQ.

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

You have the right to ask to see the warrant

๐Ÿ“ŒYou have the right to refuse entry without a judicial warrant

๐Ÿ“ŒYou have the right to remain silent

Door-to-door enforcement without judicial oversight is not โ€œlaw and order.โ€

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Dear Cosplaying Nazis,

Your Fรผhrer is waiting with baited breath for the public you brutalize to kill you in self defense. He wants you to kill us and us to kill you so he can send in real troops and stop elections. You are not policing, you are ethnic cleansing. Get out while you can.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump โ€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). Thatโ€™s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

All I see is federal agents getting violent with residents, over and over, while Democratic leaders repeatedly tell those residents to calm down and not do anything in response. This is not sustainable.

๐ŸšจHOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE:

- 43% no criminal record (up from 6% at the start of the year),
- 29% at least one prior conviction*
- 28% at least one pending charge

*most common are traffic and immigration offenses.

Let's talk about the midterms.

ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.

Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!
