And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

ICE is trying to buy a warehouse close to where I live, and there's no way you can pretend that's humanitarian conditions. It's a WAREHOUSE. It's not suitable for human occupation. I wish politicians would even remotely address that.

I don’t see too many people talking about what an incredible accomplishment it was for MN officials and lawyers to get those affidavits and that motion written and filed and to get a Trump appointed judge to issue a TRO against the feds to stop them from destroying evidence - all in the same day.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

This administration is never more dangerous than when it knows it's losing a public-relations war, because the only two responses it ever makes are 1) pretend it won but quickly pivot or 2) double down. It's hard to know which way these bottomlessly evil people will go. We're in for a fateful week.>

I will say, watching Blanche, Scalise, Bessent, and Noem today, that it's clear the administration knows it's losing. The combo of "This was a tragedy"/"Who can really tell what's on that video?"/"But he had a gun"/"This would only happen in Minneapolis" was flailing and panicky. They're scared.
