BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

This is a serious escalation. This is very grim and must be loudly opposed. Also, noting she says in this video “my children are here.”

Independent journalist Todd Miller says the Trump administration’s immigration operations in U.S. cities are an “extension” of “policies and practices that we’ve been seeing in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands now for decades,” characterizing Border Patrol culture as one of rampant abuse and impunity.

Potential homebuyers canceled more than 40,000 purchase agreements in December. That's 16.3% of all homes that went under contract, the highest rate since Redfin started tracking it in 2017.

5-Year-Old in ICE Detention Is Sick, Says Top School Official The 5-year-old who was taken by federal agents in Minneapolis is being held behind bars with his father in Texas.

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

Pointing out the bravery and decency of Alex Pretti is not about finding the perfect victim. It’s relevant because he was attacked and killed for being decent. People all over Minnesota are engaging in this kind of everyday, ordinary heroism and they know they are taking risks when they do so.

This record of the Twin Cities' Day of Truth and Freedom last Friday has something for everyone: for those of us who watched from afar, a substantive account from the ground; for those who were there, a memento of their herculean efforts; and for students of strikes, a word on how this one was done.

READ THIS! Excellent overview of Jan 23 by @lfelizleon.bsky.social. These are times of extreme treachery and extreme solidarity, and it's captured here beautifully. "If they think they're going to ship people out in the middle of nowhere, we’re still going to go there and fight for them."

Thanks, Sarah.

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

The Noise of Death Trump is flooding the zone with the blood of people murdered in Minneapolis. But that’s not the only story. Nearly a hundred thousand people skipped work on January 23 to oust ICE from Minnesota.

"We can write more than obituaries. We can tell fuller stories, full of heartbreak and courage." Beautiful piece by @lfelizleon.bsky.social - please read it.

A union’s job is to stand firmly and unequivocally against the brutal murder of one its members by the state—an injury to one is an injury to all.

Yesterday, we joined tens of thousands to march.

This am, ICE responded with violence.

Alex was an ICU nurse, a union sibling, & an observer who stepped in to help.

This is a union state. We will continue to show up, to watch, to document, and fight

ICE is not welcome here.

Hundreds of people gather for a vigil at the site where 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and member of AFGE 3669, was shot and killed by federal agents.
