Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

The crimes committed by ICE and CBP aren't accidents or outliers. They're the point.

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

If all hotels stopped housing these goons, most of them would probably leave. Just saying.

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Pattern of life: they live miserable lives and have to do their own laundry at the laundromat and people watch them from 20 feet away and it makes them big mad so they forgo washing their clothes.

They prefer big black duffle bags and their clothes are from Bass Pro Shops clearance

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol.

An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

With latest Minnesota fraud case looming, the lead prosecutors have quit The four prosecutors who spearheaded a $250 million Minnesota fraud case have all left the U.S. Attorney's Office in a growing wave of resignations.

FLASH: Weeks after Trump Admin pushed for crackdown on "fraud in Minnesota", the four prosecutors spearheading the case have *all left their jobs*

Wave of departures is growing inside Justice Dept office in Minneapolis

Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members? Newly revealed court docs show that the raid was facilitated by the building owners who are now accused of using the raid to evict tenants. DHS never mentions TDA in their filings: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Caucus report from SD40

LOTS of people. 75+ just for our precinct. Needed overflow parking lot.

AK won straw poll but also many uncommitted.

No statewide candidate presence other than lit.

Two anti ICE resolutions (mine to abolish, another against immigration enforcement at schools & bus stops)

It’s weird when you’re living through a thing you know is causing you and everyone you care about to probably be diagnosed with complex PTSD afterwards but you’re still enduring it.

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam
