Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest says beating was unprovoked A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked.

Full story:

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Headline: ‘I didn’t make a mistake’: Trump lashes out over racist video he posted.

Big headlines are stating that we know he did it.

“They started beating me right away when they arrested me”

Felon47 is trying to interfere with elections...AGAIN.

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers.

Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now:

I will definitely be making this one! Bread pudding is one of my favorite desserts! Thank you for sharing Jamie!

I have long believed that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset.

ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

Can we just call these what they are?

Concentration Camps!!!

The Trump administration is so vile and hateful. Our court system is holding up against his illegal activities, especially when it comes to deporting asylum seekers.
I wish someone would explain to President Donald Trump that asylum-seekers did not come here because they escaped from mental asylums.

THE MOST SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS THREAT TO AMERICA IS THE PRESIDENT AND "HIS" GOVERNMENT.

Opinion | This Is Just Who Trump Is

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

A federal judge has ordered the Trump admin to unfreeze billions of dollars in funding for the Gateway rail tunnel project — a win for both New York and New Jersey.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

One other thing my dearest GOP elected friends, don’t condemn the White House for this…..

CONDEMN TRUMP BY NAME

BTW, Tulsi Gabbard was widely believed to be a Russian asset. Kamala called her out on it in their debate.

Placing her in charge of national intelligence was just inviting some sort of horrible criminality and espionage to happen.

It's a good reminder that a return to normalcy only requires a handful of GOP lawmakers to grow a spine.

In the last hour, dozens of GOP lawmakers began to denounce Trump's racist meme.

Minutes ago, the White House capitulated and deleted the post.

If those same lawmakers showed that same level of moral clarity when it comes to the Constitution & fair elections, the White House would capitulate.

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

I wake up every morning hoping the tv will have a special report telling us this nightmare is over. We have two things in our favor. One he’s not healthy, and two, he’s old. And I’m glad that I’m young enough to see that day. 🔄

GOP: "Clintons MUST testify about Epstein."

Clintons: "Fine. Let's do it in public."

GOP: "No. It will be in secret but files and video will be made public."

Erm... Then do it in public then! 🤷‍♀️🤔🙄🤦‍♀️
