Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture.
This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.

In 2025, 32 people died in ICE custody, the most deaths since 2004. That wasn’t an anomaly; it was a warning. Already six people have died this year. For-profit private detention centers hide abuse behind press releases.

Is this weird? ICE usually posts press announcements almost daily (even a couple times per day) but they haven’t posted in nearly a week. This is also where they are required to post about detainee deaths. Coincidence or are they withholding information 🤔

I know there's a lot happening but think it's worth keeping in mind that under Trump, the US military's top priority is to "defend the homeland"
That's defined as "secure our borders" & among other things, "repel forms of invasion, and deport illegal aliens" w/ DHS
