There used to be a time when the US congress would have stood up & done their job. Except for a select few now they are all bought & paid. Donβt re-elect centrist/moderate Dems. Donβt vote GOP. Vote for blue who will fight.

CONTEMPT FINDING: Matthew Isihara apologized for allowing the order in this habeas case to "fall through the cracks." Blamed situation on case overload & significant understaffing in US Attorney's office. Says he has picked up nearly 130 habeas cases in just last month.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the βbaby jailβ in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But itβs routine. And disgusting.

No. It was to show you how a persons with connections can illegally become a citizen. Her parents did that too. Amazing how Trump only wants certain illegals removed. I say strip her & her parents of their citizenship & deport them. Her brat too.

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

π¨ ICE questioned our cameraman Jon Farina while asking him to "stay a distance" away (he was parked on side of street).
ICE: What press are you with?
JF: Who are you?

JF: Who's asking?
ICE: I'm asking
JF: OK...
ICE: So what press are you with?

Itβs been another very active day today in Northeast with someone being abducted on St Anthony Parkway & Central.
Regardless of what the federal government says, itβs still very active with the same illegal tactics being used by ICE. We still need everyone out protecting our neighbors.

I guess finding out that a silicone dildo has more brains than you do is a little upsetting. Sad when people canβt exercise their 1st amendment rights. Arrest ICE agents. They are the agitators.

Good morning from Occupied St. Paul.
It's Sunday, and yesterday a number of civil rights observers were arrested at Whipple. Why? Who knows!
Possibly because the crowd kept throwing silicone dildos over the fence at their vehicles.
Penis Envy is a fascinating arrest charge...
