INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.
They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.
I have now read approximately 700 documents from the Epstein-Chopra correspondence. I didnβt go looking for dirt. I went looking for a reason to still believe in the man whose work had been a comfort to me in the darkest time of my life.
I didnβt find one.

U.S. Reps Ilhan Omar (D-MN) (R) and Angie Craig (D-MN) speak to press after conducting oversight at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in St Paul, Minnesota. The two congressional representatives from Minnesota were touring the facility after being denied access last month. (Photo by David Berding/Getty Images)
Angie Craig: "They removed everyone from the ICE facility 30 minutes before we arrived β this is not the intent of the law. DHS is violating the law"
Ilhan Omar: "What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties"
This case is insane:
ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*
The young man they killed had no criminal history.
All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.
We don't know officers' names.
We don't have footage.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβan hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
