Alex Pretti was in earlier confrontation with federal agents who tackled him, broke his rib, sources say | CNN Federal immigration officials have been collecting information on protesters and agitators, sources told CNN.

Protesting is a 1st amendment right. Every American should be concerned if #DHS is randomly taking photos, videos,license plates of protesters who have not engaged in criminal or violent conduct. As former FBI I have seen this overreach before. There is no good outcome www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

#KashPatel gutted the #FBI's white collar crime program, disbanded at least one public corruption squad and dramatically cut others. The #ruleoflaw has taken a backseat to the political wishes of the @whitehouse-47.bsky.social This isn't justice. www.cnn.com/2026/01/20/p...

Congressional Democrats are asking a basic accountability question: who is operating behind the masks of ICE paramilitaries. As Adam Schiff warns, “The greatest threat to democracy comes from those in positions of power who are willing to subvert the rule of law.”

Minneapolis judge bars DHS agents from arresting peaceful protesters The judge’s order comes in response to a lawsuit from Minneapolis-area residents alleging that their rights were violated while they were observing or protesting immigration raids.

"These kinds of conduct are those that undoubtedly give rise to an objective chill of first amendment rights," U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez said, regarding #ICE activities in Minneapolis. Judge bars DHS agents from arresting peaceful protesters
