There is no technical or administrative fix for this, this is not a matter of training. This isnβt about policy at all.
As a matter of democratic self-defense, ICE must not be tolerated.
Just six years out from a pandemic that transcended borders, Trump is abandoning global cooperation by withdrawing from the World Health Organization β and it makes all of us less safe.
Illinois will continue to work with trusted partners to protect lives and follow the science.
"...a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism β ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power."

A call to clergy to come to Minneapolis THIS WEEK, in an echo of MLK and Selma:

What a poignant MLK Day with all that is happening in Minneapolis and with ICE.
Thereβs an active effort to undo all the good and awareness that MLK brought to the world.
Letβs not let that succeed.

The Times can be frustrating, but I'm glad they did this:

Nothing bores Trump more than healthcare. This has been true for years. He just wants the issue to go away, so he can focus on topics like invading Greenland or putting his name on buildings.

And yesterday's "The Morning" briefing from the Times did a both-sides on ICE in Mpls saying it was oh-so-hard for agents to endure the protests of angry residents. Pssst: no one forced these fascists to take these jobs playing Nazi against US citizens.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
