I was back in federal court today. They’re still prosecuting me — my trial date is May 11th — but we’re pressing for evidence discovery.
Because someone is “unreasonably obstructing the usual use” of the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. But it’s ICE, not me. And the evidence will prove it.

It's kind of wild to think that Trump's other pick for AG was Matt Gaetz, who was pushed out for having sex with a minor.
As crazy as it is to see Pam Bondi crash out in front of Congress, imagine if it was him.

It's worse. This all happened likely because they were shooting down a journalists' drone as they documented the construction of the Camp East Montana concentration camp on Fort Bliss.

Behind New ICE Detention Walls
The FAA closed airspace around El Paso for 10 days, without explaining why.
The closed airspace includes Fort Bliss, the military base that is being repurposed as a migrant detention center where multiple detainees have been murdered by ICE staff: crossingpointspolicy.substack.com/p/no-witnesses

ICE and Border Patrol officials testify at House hearing

Congresswoman Delia Ramirez at today's hearing www.youtube.com/live/GjRmgjj...
"DHS, ICE, and CBP are not really rogue. Congress designed
DHS to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our safety."
"DHS cannot be reformed, it must be dismantled and something new must take its place."

Renee Good and Alex Pretti are not the only people who have been killed by ICE. In Camp East Montana, three people died within 44 days, with the Medical Examiner ruling one a homicide after the guards choked him: open.substack.com/pub/crossing...

Republicans not pushing for the removal of Stephen Miller, Noam, and Greg Bovino is political suicide. Their perspectives are so wildly outside of the mainstream, they are dragging down support for DHS and the Republican party in general. Per CNN, approval of ICE is down 27 pts. Noam is -16 pts.

With time, people become inured to the violence. And eventually a small portion of the population will decide that yes, the violence is bad, but it is an unavoidable tragedy.

Alexander Pretti's murder was only one murder too far if the American people make it so.
I worry that we are in the Columbine phase of this tragedy. Yes, people are outraged and sentiment is shifting. But when the democracy is not responsive, the problem calcifies.

It’s also a poor attempt at deflecting blame to the state. Nobody is buying that these murders are the result of SNAP fraud, sanctuary policies, or Minnesota’s voter roles. They are the result of decisions by Congress to fund an agency with a growing body count and no accountability.

Not enough attention is being paid to AG Bondi’s letter to Gov Walz: www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/01/24/u…
Why is the AG demanding changes in State law in exchange for a promise that Federal officers (in an agency that she does not lead) stop killing people in the streets?

J.D. Vance’s press conference yesterday was so aggressively un-Minnesotan.
He blamed ICE’s violence on Minnesotan police “promote violence” and “promote agitation” through their “aggressive non-cooperation”.
Between the ICE SUVs on stage was a the old Minnesota flag, replaced in 2024.

New poll: Trump loses ground on immigration; Dems lead 2026 House vote by 8 points
The new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds Democrats start 2026 with their biggest lead yet on the 2026 House vote, while Trump approval sinks on immigration, deportations, and public safety
The gap in public opinion between Trump's approval on “Border Security” vs “Immigration” is telling.
If Democrats advance an positive position on immigration, rooted in actual people's shared humanity and lived experiences, they could turn immigration into a winning issue.

Reading Between the Lines of Trump's Denaturalization Policy
The Trump administration's internal guidance indicates a plan on bringing denaturalization cases against citizens that cannot be denaturalized. I take a look at why they are taking this approach in this week's Crossing Points: open.substack.com/pub/crossing...

Congress Can Curb ICE & CBP’s Reign of Terror This Month — Here’s How
Congress needs to use its Article I power to limit these out-of-control agencies.
For the millions of people horrified by ICE & CBP’s violence, we have a critical window to demand accountability.
Budget negotiations are underway, which means Congress has the power to rein in these out-of-control agencies.

Abolishing ICE is hitting record high approval (before Renee Nicole Good's murder), even as immigration remains Trump's highest polling issue.
If Trump loses support on his immigration policies, his overall approval rating will collapse.

“We are going to run the country until such time that we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition” -Trump
Trump is signalling a protracted U.S. occupation.
The idea that the country will quickly transition to a non-Chavista government democratically is farcical.
