But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friendβs car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man βpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.β
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldnβt remember he had a daughter.

The third in a once-every-50-days Law Dork series:
ICE was already PREFUNDED for 4 YEARS in the OBBB passed in July. The money is in a slush fund. So if you give away the rest you give away everything. Do these people think we are stupid? They must.

John Thune has already called the Dems' list of (extremely weak) demands "unrealistic."
One of those demands was to require ICE to verify whether someone is a citizen before detaining them.
The GOP will not agree to NOT detain US citizens.
We all need to sit with that for a while.
