Predicting that this week weβll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since theyβre starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

But: CBP is uniquely lawless.
As this piece by @vermontgmg.bsky.social points out, CBP has a LONG history of lawlessness--it's officers likely get arrested at a HIGHER per capita rate than undocumented immigrants ... and that's not taking into account our general unwillingness to arrests cops.
Not ICE, but CBP.
ICE is terrible, but CBP is orders of magnitude worse. In many ways, abolishing or radically overhauling CBP is of greater urgency than ICE, but likely tougher to do.
One can argue that ~all of ICE's duties can be reallocated. Harder to say that with CBP.
When ICE finally releases someone who's been unlawfully detained after flying them halfway across the country, they just dump them outside of the detention centers here in Texas. help pool frequent flyer miles to get these folks back to their homes, pets, families.

But now theyβve arrested journalists like Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and others for filming and reporting on an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church.
This is an attack on the First Amendment like weβve never seen.
Good for Luigi and all BUT THE GOVERNMENT HAS JUST ARRESTED A HANDFUL OF BLACK JOURNALISTS FOR COVERING A PROTEST HAD AT THAT CHURCH WITH THE ICE AGENT MINISTER β INCLUDING DON LEMON AND GEORGIA FORT

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 β literal warehousing of people.
