CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

As impressive as the images coming out of Minneapolis today are, a friend there just told me they don't do it justice - "the whole city was at a full standstill."

weird to me how much defending the homeland and the future of the white race turns out to involve crashing a rental car and then running away

a free idea for investigative reporters would be to try to get to the bottom of how much DHS is spending on rental vehicles and rental vehicle replacement, because it's got to be a substantial amount.

Businesses, many of them locally owned, closed their doors to halt economic activity, saying that losing a day's revenue was worth the cost to be part of the effort to end the immigration enforcement.

The fuck is this nonsense? It’s not immigration enforcement. It’s an occupation by roaming gangs of goons

The protests today have garnered significant national and international coverage. For folks wanting that, you got it, and mostly looks pretty good. NYT has demonstrators not protestors, for example, a good word choice.

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs.

It's negative -25Β°F and tears are dangerous.

that crowd doesn’t even include the people actively patrolling, doing mutual aid, and dozens of small protests on corners throughout the city during the march. really cannot adequately convey the size of this thing that is happening

US Judge Rules ICE Raids Require Judicial Warrants, Contradicting Secret ICE Memo The ruling in federal court in Minnesota lands as Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces scrutiny over an internal memo claiming judge-signed warrants aren’t needed to enter homes without consent.

NEW: A federal court ruling in Minnesota, which notes ICE agents broke the Fourth Amendment by entering a family's home sans warrant, lands as ICE faces scrutiny over a secret memo claiming their agents can enter homes w/ administrative paperwork alone.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

You need to read this one. ICE detained two observers. The agent driving the vehicle started having seizures. The women asked to be uncuffed and gave him aid. After EMS arrived, the women were still taken to Whipple. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...
