YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE

Yes, the same woman. Here is Aliya Rahman's full testimony.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair.

USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries.

They are giving you actionable information.

body cameras are particularly bad in general because they are useless and when you're spending money on them you're giving money to LE and taking money from everyone else. 1

These are brutal and tragic numbers.

LA County Jails are killing people. 7 people this month!

I saw a cute kid who looked about 8 years old with an "F-word ICE" sign today and thought, for you, I'll allow it

Alt text and I’m crying.

For Liam.

What is this shit! "plz follow the law, as you are already obligated to do, and we will give you more money"

If you could enforce these deals for ICE not to do shit it's already not supposed to do, you could enforce the law right now.

If you can't, you should not support giving them more money!

Once again @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social fail to meet the momemt. Abolish ICE and DHS and free everyone held in concentration camps OR RESIGN

This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and sending them to Texas within hours — in at least two cases against a judge’s order. ...

This is one of the reasons I have argued that ending immigrant jail should be a core demand. The capacity to hold people in jails around the country makes it easier to arrest and deport. (It also kills people and holds them hostage, but I digress).

From the player they were all excited to honor on Saturday. Also, you have a player from Minnesota, and one of your best players is an immigrant. You absolutely have to grapple at the very least.

I can’t quite put together words on this response outside of I really, REALLY, hate it and think it sucks.

Madeline Dahlien, a 21-year old first-time call-up to the senior national team, is from Edina, Minn., a suburb just outside of Minneapolis and what’s happening hasn’t come up once? At all???

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE:
Renee Good: $1,499,580
Alex Pretti: $1,289,249
Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423
Parady La: $45,848
Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991
Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640
Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538
Geraldo Lunas: $2,260
Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

There’s another game at 4.30pm – this one a little closer to home. The US women’s national team has built a proud reputation; an international powerhouse that advocates for progress and against violence. You wonder if they’ll find a way to acknowledge what’s happening in Minnesota, a state they’ve visited with increasing frequency since the opening of Allianz Field in Saint Paul. There are no black armbands of quiet support from the team. There’s no statement, or moment of silence, or acknowledgement before the national anthem. Even the gun lobby took time to criticize how Trump’s camp justified the killing by turning the victim’s second amendment rights against him. So when the fourth goal goes in, and its scorer hustles toward the camera to try creating a viral celebration for social media, you decide you can catch up on the final 35 minutes later. You decide this even though it’s the last meaningful soccer of the day, about a month before the domestic season kicks off in earnest.

. @jeffrueter.bsky.social's column gets to the heart of the matter.

A Saturday and a state killing: soccer as Minnesota is torn apart | Jeff Rueter On the whims of Fifa’s Peace Prize winner, a life usually so focused on sports has found anything but peace

NEW: Reflections on a soccer Saturday, from a state under siege by the FIFA Peace Prize winner. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Plaintiffs' emergency motion to lift the administrative stay changes nothing. First, the "[intervening events" -DHS officers' use of lethal force— have nothing to do with plaintiffs or their claims in this lawsuit. Plaintiffs' Motion at 1-3. Plaintiffs do not allege that they were present. And plaintiffs do not argue that the injunction, had it been in force, would have prohibited the use of lethal force. Id. at 4-5. Second, plaintiffs' request is based entirely on speculation about hypothetical future events. Id. at 1-4. Thus, lifting the administrative stay would not "prevent irreparable injury to the named plaintiffs," but it would improperly provide relief to an uncertified class of all "observers." Id. at 1.

CONCLUSION The Court should stay the preliminary injunction pending appeal and deny plaintiffs' motion to lift the administrative stay. 12 Appellate Case: 26-1105 Page: 13 Date Filed: 01/25/2026 Entry ID: 5600673 Respectfully submitted, BRETT A.

BREAKING: At the Eighth Circuit, DOJ — including senior lawyers — argues that yesterday's shooting of Alex Pretti "ha[s] nothing to do with" the lawsuit over DHS violations of people's First/Fourth Amendment rights in Minnesota.

Just as we suspected, the MN National Guard has arrived at the Whipple Building (the federal building/concentration camp) to protect the feds. They are not there to protect protestors. The National Guard, and the governor or collaborating with fascists.

By all means continue to send "please explain" messages to U.S. Soccer in an attempt to get them to backtrack, but if you're actually unsure about the why: The easiest explanation is usually the correct one.

A pitbull with a big head stand in the foreground behind them is three containers of bright, orange, poppies and a container with sunflowers in it. Behind that is a street in crosswalk with cars in it.

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

She didn't get a call up for this camp

The security guard just said "the team"

Yes!
