Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

Rep Melanie Stansbury (D) New Mexico on Twitter today posting "This is not legal with a blue arrow pointing down emoji as a quote reply to a blue check Aaron Blake saying Trump announces he's transferring $10 billion from the US government to his "Board of Peace," which critics have likened to a giant slush fund Trump will control then a CNN link

I wish when I did crimes that the only consequence was that people like the entire Democratic establishment would post "that's not legal" with a sad face emoji while quoting news stories about me doing all those crimes I just keep doing

Why a plan to use Twin Cities warehouses to hold immigrants failed ICE determined it must acquire “non-traditional facilities,” such as warehouses, to be developed into 16 new regional detention centers.

Big credit to Rep. Brad Tabke for killing an attempt to place an ICE concentration camp in Shakopee. If we make it so toxic to do business with ICE that corporations refuse to sell them real estate, we can fight these off.

In Minneapolis, Native American patrols keep watch – and see history repeating: ‘We are still being chased’ The American Indian Movement was established in Minneapolis more than 50 years ago in response to police brutality. After ICE agents flooded the city this winter, neighborhoods reprised citizen patrol...

It's upsetting that the arrest only came after the revelation that he shared sensitive financial documents w/Epstein, rather than as a result of the evidence that he SA'd children. Some accountability is better than rewarding these predators with the key to the nation tho, so hats off to the UK.

Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction. Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds! #keepMNhoused

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

This is stunning. (Lucky for Andrew the UK abolished the punishment Charles I received.)

I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office.

ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for.

We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.

I got to see this moving exhibit when I was in Philadelphia last summer. So glad the city fought and won this erasure of an important part of our national history.

It’s a Black History Month miracle

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

Moriarty: State ‘in good shape’ to consider charging federal agents in slayings of Good, Pretti The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office continues to pursue federal evidence that is being kept from state investigators, but Mary Moriarty said there’s “no mystery” about how Renee Good and Alex Pretti died.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said state prosecutors and law enforcement have gathered enough evidence to consider charging decisions against the federal agents who shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

It's a scandal the way children in desperate need of medical treatment are being abandoned by clinic after clinic. It is no less of a scandal than diabetic patients cut off from insulin or poor people turned away from ERs if they can't pay.

I have asked ICE and DHS why this migrant was hooded and partially straitjacketed today. Will let you know if I hear back.

In the past migrants have testified that they were put in the WRAP device for “infractions” as small as asking to speak to one’s attorney.

Someone set the Renee Good memorial on fire yesterday, and deportation flights filled with our shackled neighbors are still leaving MSP.

Carpools and groceries will defeat their guns and tear gas.
