So no ICE at polls, just HSI grabbing ballot boxes.

Has detention and confinement been a condition of previous re-vetting regimes?

Will the clergy be there, whether or not ice has arranged for their visit? It would be a good day and hour for congressmembers to visit.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but please: use "e.g." and "i.e." Punctuation matters!

Alford says "no federal officer lied" (which is false) about shooting. Ignores the federal officials (e.g., Noem) who lied almost immediately after the shootings. Alford says 'we have a different quarterback, Noem is out, Homan is in' -- where did Kristi go?

I'm all for local traffic-calming devices. "Fuckaroundabouts" someone dubbed them. But prepare for ready removal if judged an obstruction.

This is targeted enforcement. Liam and Adrian, like all asylees, like all refugees, are targeted. TPS holders as well.

Free Speech in Deep Freeze - Nieman Reports On the ground in Minnesota, where journalists are working to tell the truth about government-sanctioned violence and spin

My friends at Niemanreports.org asked me to write about the experience of being a journalist on the ground in Minneapolis right now. I knew I wanted to tell reporters elsewhere how even this most hopeless of times has been clarifying and, in some ways, energizing. (1) share.google/ms1wKDQZmgep...

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

If by grand jury in Minnesota, then it's just the latest Bondi ham-sandwich. But Minnesota magistrates have the mark on DOJ.

they are tasked for war, and their operations are an aggressive occupation of the civil population. Their response to observers is full-on counter-insurgency, surveillance, infiltration, L-RAD, Stingray, drones . . .
