This was totally fun! A nice break from my usual beat.

Kansas City developers halt sale of warehouse for ICE detention center as public pressure mounts Federal officials first toured the building in January, sparking speculation over whether the owners had sold the building to the U.S. government. Media reports suggested the sale was part of a push t...

Look!

"News of a potential immigrant detention center in Kansas City sparked fierce public backlash over the past month. At rallies and protests, many people called on Platform Ventures to not sell the building to the federal government..."

Black and Brown veterans are among those being targeted and terrorized by DHS. To protect ALL our veterans, we have to take a stand, claw back ICE's slush fund, and redirect those resources towards veterans' benefits. It's what our constituents want.

This is important. The head of CBP says here that his agency did NOT provide the assessment that led DHS to label Alex Pretti a terrorist looking to inflict mass casualties.

That appears to contradict Stephen Miller's claim that the initial assessment was based on CBP reports:

KIM: There's reporting that FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood splatter and bullet holes in Ms. Good's SUV. They received orders to stop supposedly from Kash Patel. Do you think a sufficient investigation is happening?

NEWS: Trump Ends Immigration Crackdown in Minnesota as MAGA Turns on Attorney General Pam Bondi, Demanding her Removal Good morning, everyone.

MAGA calls for Pam Bondi’s removal grow as the knives are out for the Attorney General.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE

2013: Florida AG Pam Bondi decided not to join a multi-state fraud lawsuit against Trump University AFTER her campaign received a $25,000 donation from the Donald Trump Foundation that she personally solicited. Despite consumer complaints, her office took no action.

“Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched…That is outrageous and I intend to pursue this and stop this spying on members,”

This is how they run their Administration, along with their false indictments. #EpsteinFiles

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Authorities continue to search for missing Cambridge man Evan Jensrud was last seen walking away from his home five years ago this week.

LAPD Replaces ‘Less-Lethal’ Gun ‘Known To Maim People’ With Another ‘Less-Lethal’ Gun Capable Of Doing The Exact Same Thing ~ L.A. TACO “Since we don't have access to the [40mm launcher], the FN303 is an alternative option,” LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said. “[And] we're looking at other options that are available as well on the field.”

“Whatever euphemistic term people use for these weapons, all of them are known to maim people for life,” FPF's @adamrose.bsky.social told @shoton35mm.bsky.social. “They’re only appropriate when the only alternative is lethal force.”

It's neat that the admin is trying to violate the Transparency Act in as many ways as possible I guess?

This is the scene I was at this morning. I know Minnesotans filming ICE in their bathrobes is becoming a bit of a thing, but after you laugh, let it dawn on you that people here hate ICE so much that we rush out half-dressed to film even when there are already dozens of others doing the same thing.

On 2/10/26, three members of Tarrant County Commissioners Court (Tim, Matt, and Manny) voted to slash opportunities for public comments, and restricting non-Tarrant residents from speaking.

Bishop Kirkland lives in Dallas, but owns a home and property in Tarrant. They wrote the rule to silence him.

In Minnesota families are in hiding, teachers & neighbors are delivering groceries to those who cannot leave their homes because it is unsafe, children cannot go to school because it is unsafe.

Minnesota is under an unconstitutional federal occupation that needs to end.

"This is a fully occupied city". Minneapolis and the surrounding cities throughout Minnesota are experiencing an unconstitutional & barbaric federal occupation.

It has not let up. It has not gotten better. The federal gov is actively violating constitutional rights.

These Border Patrol thugs say they are being boxed in by a car driven by a mom. A lie.

Then they veer into her car & say they've been struck. Another lie.

Then the driver opens fire at her.

Trump's CBP & #ICE savages are terrorizing our streets.

Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand action.
