Tall gray building that was once a grain elevator, sitting alongside railroad tracks on a snowy plain

Interior view of a house with a very industrial-chic kitchen in the background. In the foreground is a spiral slide from an old playground. Yes, they've installed it indoors.

View looking up a flight of stairs but on either side are weird little rooms half-hidden behind red curtains. Half whimsical, half terrifying.

A collage of five images, three of which are on the top and two of which are on the bottom. The photos are of, in order: Sean Dunn (the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent), the Master Debater (ultimate debate chad), the guy who taunted ICE on an e-bike in Chicago and got away, the guy who punched Richard Spencer in the face on January 20, 2017, and our most recent hero who punched the guy trying to cause a ruckus at a high school by supporting ICE. Each of the photos are of them in their “action shots,” if you will. Dunn is in the act of throwing the sandwich, Master Debater is in the midst of saying he would have both to some trolls question about whether he would have economic growth or gender equality, the e-bike guy is in the midst of taunting an ICE agent and biking away, the Richard Spencer puncher is seen right at the moment of making contact with his face, and our latest hero is clasping his hands together and saying “okay” after the troll said he would get in trouble if he punched him in the face.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and ‘biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

Scoop: The NIH infectious-diseases institute (NIAID) will soon scrub “pandemic preparedness” and “biodefense” from its web pages, according to e-mails I obtained.

The directive is the start of a broader shake-up at NIAID, which has long been attacked by Republicans.

Social Security Workers Are Being Told to Hand Over Appointment Details to ICE The recent request goes against decades of precedent, and puts noncitizens at further risk of immigration enforcement actions.

SCOOP: ICE is asking Social Security for peoples' in-person appointment dates and times, and SSA staff are being told to give it to them. From me + @leahfeiger.bsky.social + @zoeschiffer.bsky.social @wired.com

THIS IS HOW MANY HUMAN BEINGS HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED AND ARE BEING HELD CAPTIVE BY ICE

So many people are being disappeared it’s hard to fathom.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

From the New York Times: Last month, the presence of immigration authorities outside of a Mexican restaurant in Coon Rapids alarmed its employees, most of whom have not returned to work, said Pat Carlson, a City Council member who for years has worked closely with immigrant communities. On a recent Friday, as children prepared for school, at least a dozen federal agents roamed the halls of an apartment complex on University Avenue near 92nd Lane North East, according to the property manager, cellphone footage and residents, many of whom are immigrants. On Jan. 20, about two dozen residents went before Coon Rapids' mayor, Jerry Koch, and the City Council, worried about immigration agents roaming the streets where their children play. As they spoke, Mayor Koch grew more and more frustrated "We're not Minneapolis or St Paul; we're not a sanctuary city; we cooperate," he said later in an interview. He also made clear he was frustrated with the reaction of some of his constituents to the growing presence of federal agents. "I get emails that say, 'ICE has been spotted three times in town today, here at this house, at this house, that house," he said. "It's like, 'Oh, come on, get off whatever tracking site you're on and put the whistles away?"

This is why he needs the security detail I guess (I wouldn’t be surprised if revenge is taken at some point on these ghouls)

In Iowa, Prosecutors Want to Bring Back Court Fees as Bargaining Chips - Bolts Iowa's high court recently ended the practice of making defendants pay fees for charges that get dismissed. Prosecutors are backing legislation to undo the court’s ruling so they can keep using fees a...

NEW: In Iowa, when someone's charges are *dismissed,* they still had to pay court fees. So prosecutors pressured ppl into pleading guilty: 'plead guilty, you'll have no fees. (If you win, you'll owe $$.)'

Iowa's Supreme Court struck that down in January... but prosecutors want to bring it all back:

Right-wing media’s claims that ICE agents need to be masked for safety fall apart Right-wing media have claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection agents are in danger of being “doxed” and even murdered if they are unable to conceal their identity...

Right-wing media claim that ICE agents need to be masked for safety. New reporting shows that working in immigration enforcement is actually safer than being a civilian.

fascinating that Trump has held his “never fire anyone it’s a sign of weakness” thing for over a year into his second term even as his administration flounders and everyone fires increasingly pointed leaks at each other

This was the attack where they subsequently threw tear gas into a family's car, causing a baby to stop breathing, they blamed the family for it.
