They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

"Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

lol right idk that I even move to dismiss. Right to discovery pls.

I saw it too:

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

If this weren’t dystopian enough, it won’t even work. DHS treats biometric data as the only legitimate form of ID.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

Seems like they just brought it to a grand jury, based on what Georgia Fort said before her arrest.

It started as arrest first ask questions later. But now they’re breaking down windows and doors and driving people around to an empty area to use their new tech toys to decide whether you get shipped off to Texas or just get put on a list.

It’s violent no matter what.

If we are really doing unitary executive theory all the way down, this should be thrown out for lack of adversarialness. You can't sue yourself.

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them.

Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."

“He’s much more reasonable than Bovino—like a regular cop.”

The insane thing is that these small concessions w/o meaningful chance is exactly what the admin wants right now.

Then the media can spin how ICE has been reformed and it’ll take another four months of terror before people realize none of it made any difference.

In trying to smear the victim, they’re making a stronger case for premeditation given what we know about their list of dissidents from Tom Homan’s statements and what happened to Miramar Martinez.

It’s like broken-windows policing but they claim the power to kill you for it.

They spent a lot of energy in court arguing that the unitary executive is solely responsible for everyone working in the administration.

And then after a year-long escalation of masked, militarized police terrorizing cities and they expect us to believe it was all one guy who doesn’t even run CBP.

Bovino has said he’s taking his orders from Noem, who is in charge of about a dozen agencies now focused on immigration raids.

Noem has said she’s taking her orders from the WH.

The problems aren’t one person or one agency.

Having militarized police break into someone’s house without a judicial warrant is even more dangerous tonight at night.

Normally I’d suggest people avoid “I don’t believe in phrenology BUT …” takes, but here the exclamation point after “don’t” really reassures me as to his bona fides.

Great for pickletinis

Ilan Wurman, looking like a dead-eyed weasel, announcing his podcast named for another terrible legal pun

The immediate pivot from birthright citizenship to admin warrants followed by a podcast announcement screams “look at me.”

Just can’t tell if it’s a desperate plea for a place in the in-group or a bet that there’s always a market for amoral hacks.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

That’s right. Give us the right to sue that explicitly gets rid of qualified immunity.

Then we can finally force some accountability that doesn’t depend on the police and politicians policing each other.

Call your reps.

This is what I was talking about. Glad to see it get some coverage:

The fact that they are making Bovino the fall guy shows that they are worried, but it does not mean that any policy changes.

It's a signal to increase the pressure even more, not back down.

Greg Bovino being gone is good (and the first tiny shred of accountability). It’s also the first crack in their resolve.

But the dangerous and lawless policies are administration-wide.

ICE is still breaking into people’s homes without a warrant.

One fall guy can’t slow the work ahead.

This made me spend way too long trying to rank their messengers on immigration enforcement: Miller, Vance, Bovino, Homan, McLaughlin, Noem.

It’s quite the list.

I spent so much time last year introducing people to the Gun Trace Task Force to explain ICE’s tactics.

They’re grabbing up refugees and shipping them to Texas despite their status.

Some have had to find their own way home once they win their release.

Whether it’s a defense mechanism or narcissism or something else, people tend to think they wouldn’t be in the victim’s shoes and, if they were, they’d have done something differently.

Likening the victim to the target audience helps break that effect and force empathy.

It’s unfortunate that noting someone’s status or innocence matters, but it does. And ignoring that reality can limit the impact.

There’s a reason wrong-house raids and mistaken-identity arrests land better with the media and judges than someone shot unjustly while running from the cops.
