Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Court Affirms Ruling That Alina Habba Served Unlawfully as U.S. Attorney

Alina Habba was an impostor claiming to be US Attorney for New Jersey. The bar should decide on suitable disciplinary measures.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for the Buck Yeah Hemp Beard Bundle. Gentlemen, please remember to moisturize your beards. Most men forget to do this and when they finally shave, their chins are mummified. Mummy chin is a serious concern. I did not just make it up.

Crowd has dispersed, I'm back in my car.

This video, to me, is emblematic of the evening. Minnesota cops protecting ICE while the agents lounge and look on, warm inside their hotel

ICE commits state violence, and the state is by default on their side

There is a barrier between the protesters and the Springhill Suites Marriott in Maple Grove: a single piece of caution tape

No one seems inclined to go past it. This is more about making horrible people miserable in a perfectly legal way

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

Trotz Trump: Schulen halten USA-Austauschprogramme aufrecht Reisen in die USA sind zunehmend mit Sorgen verbunden. Welche Konsequenzen ziehen Schulen in der Region fΓΌr ihre Austauschprogramme?

German schools decide to maintain their exchange relationships with the US, but they have a dilemma: what to do about protests and demonstrations. They would prefer that their students not become engaged in US politics. On the other hand, they have no business censoring the students.

A Crisis of Confidence for ICE and Border Patrol as Clashes Escalate

Trump-appointed judge blocks Trump admin. from destroying evidence in Pretti shooting A hearing is set for Monday in Minnesota with state officials squaring off against the feds, who have stifled their local counterparts.

In a sane country, the DOJ response to a motion asking a judge to stop the government from destroying evidence after federal officers shot and killed a man in broad daylight would be, "Of course we wouldn't destroy evidence. We agree with this motion."

That . . . is not what happened.

ICE watchers in Maine say they were threatened by federal agents Community members have been monitoring the activity of immigration agents in Greater Portland.

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT NIXON

It is a founding principle of our country that all Americans should feel safe in their homes and free of government harrassment.

That principle is under threat.

I have pointed this out for some time, and now you see it rise to the top: professional policeβ€”local police and those at DHS and Justice who do real police workβ€”are sickened by ICE because they are amateurs and yahoos.

John Randle was undrafted. He was underweight and duped the Vikings into signing him by hiding a chain in his shorts at his weigh-in. He was terrifying. He’d paint his face. If you said something about his mother, he’d promise to burn your house down. Then he’d make you believe it.

They may be aspiring fascists, but fascists don't get chased out of town. This is a good development.

Again: FFS.

What I mean, and what most of you understood, I hope, is that in a *actual fascist regime* the *uniformed head of a fascist paramilitary force* doesn't get chased out of town by people blowing whistles and marching in the street.

But sure, let's argue some more over this.

Tom has repeatedly said that Trump and his administration *are* fascists, but our country is not a fascist country. We just had elections where the opposition party won victories across the board and the courts continue to push back against the regime. They're trying hard, but they haven't won.

He’s gonna get a retirement. Alex Pretti’s parents lost their son. The VA lost a caring professional.

Bovino publicly incited hate and violence at every turn. He urged agents to β€œtake back OUR country”. His agents clapped when Pretti died. This man should not have any sort of retirement.
