To anyone tempted to celebrate Noem's big announcement that ICE will use body cams and that it will be expanded nationwide as funding is available...

That's already been official ICE policy for over two years.

This is huge.

Massachusetts is home to tens of thousands of hardworking Haitian TPS recipients who enrich the culture of our state, contribute to our economy, and help ensure we meet the needs of elders and patients in our health care and elder care industries - this victory belongs to them.

As expected, Judge Ana Reyes has extended Temporary Protected Statys protections for people from Haiti, who need these safeguards more than anyone who has ever received them.

Agreed on both points ofc and it is the first one that Reyes rightfully had real questions about bc DHS definitely did not show its work on this revocation

That's what we are hearing. I think they'll be getting extra enforcement either way but at least an extension would be some protection for a lot of people

We are waiting on an order by the end of the day from Judge Reyes in DC as to whether ~350K Haitians will be going out of status and Trump will be able to begin the long promised ethnic cleansing of Springfield OH tomorrow. I remain optimistic based on how the hearing went last month but uggggh

Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

I didnโ€™t bring any of my gear because surely they wouldnโ€™t gas a daytime march with a bunch of kids, right?

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

This rules so hard. In law school I remember people who wanted to be federal prosecutors spending three years doing everything they could to be maybe, possibly be competitive for an AUSA job someday. Now you just need to hop on X the everything app and DM a guy named Chad.

Yeah totally, i had just never heard anyone be this honest about it. I had to thank for her candor at least

Getting a 7 figures vibe from her, but yes. She also expressed at least some concern for her queer daughter's future & the non-citizen employees in one of her warehouses who the company now has to actively protect from ICE, with the usual caveat that it all would have been worse under Harris somehow

"I don't have a problem with Trump," a Fortune 500 VP tells me at an airport bar in Minneapolis. "It's how I was raised."

Genuinely baffled, I ask: "Were you raised to respect billionaires? Because I wasn't."

She nods.

"It's a tax bracket thing."

I truly hope to never understand this

8. Weiss's project is creating an Operation Paperclip for Epstein's cronies. Taking a group of discredited men and rehabilitating them as necessary pillars of system. Dershowitz and Peter Attia are the Wernher von Brauns of reactionary centrism.

"Our foreign labor class is full granted political rights"

"All visas are a bridge to citizenship"

It remains absolutely incredible to me that the people running our immigration system choose to remain so willfully ignorant as to the first thing about our immigration system

This funding repeal is the single most necessary legislative act of the second Trump term so far and it is not even close. I will literally sleep better at night if they can hold the line and get this done

Everyone i talked to who is trying to keep eyes on the situation says that the scope of it is just more than anyone can understand, there is just too much happening at once

I have much more to say about this than this medium can convey, but the most significant takeaway for me was (1) it is much worse than you think here but (2) also so much better

My day in Minneapolis learning in realtime with state legislators from around the country what it is like to actively not just practice but *live* in resistance here was the single best antidote to doomerism I have found in the past twelve months

Also I am just kind of kicking around Minneapolis now after having crested the wave of exhaustion from not having slept last night, meeting dozens of people, taking a break to file a habeas petition, and crushing hard on the very first person i met here so i welcome your ideas

My day started with an inspirational speech over breakfast from Minnesota AG Keith Ellison and ended with new friends around the corner from the deeply touching memorial to Alex Pretti's murder only five days ago

As someone who left Boston after a major snowstorm with temps in the tens to come to a place which i had to buy a whole new layer of clothes just to be able to comfortably stand vigil in what consistently feels like subzero, I will freely admit these people are made of something else

After 24 hours in Minneapolis I think I have a very good understanding of why people live here! It absolutely rules, even in January. I just haven't come to understand *how* yet

Not to be that guy but ICE and CBP would still be fully funded thanks to the cursed July funding bill, they are just using the rest of DHS as leverage. Which is fine, but I do also think that people should clearly know that

greg bovino getting sent packing is funny, because fuck that guy for real, but it's a PR stunt. ICE is still kidnapping and killing our neighbors and far-right agitators are trying to doxx us and we are not not not not not going to stop. bring every stolen neighbor home and get the fuck out.
