Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

😅 Hey friends and neighbors, I really wish we didn't have to ask for #MutualAid support right now, but we are short on rent/bills. The ongoing federal occupation of Minneapolis is flaring up my disabilities, and my partner's income dropped significantly too. Please share + help us stay in our home.
UPDATE: $450/1,800
Sincere thanks to everyone who has supported us so far! ✊🏼 Sadly, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey refuses to sign the unanimous call to enact an eviction moratorium, so we still need help by 1/31.

I will say, the agents I have seen escalate tensions and act with complete disregard to human life are BORTAC - border patrol's tactical unit - which is the one Bovino was particularly fond of. So if they are leaving, this is a positive thing.

Genuine question about Senate Democrats' new demands re: DHS funding:
What reason is there to believe that, even if they were passed, the Trump administration would comply?

it's absolutely a win that the people in Minneapolis achieved so much and at great cost. Seems like the politicians in the "resistance" party could work half as hard.
As a reminder, before Trump even took office, Bovino used his violence against farmworkers in Kern County. Now he's back there.

Think about how crazy "warrant for arrest" is as a negotiating point.
That is supposed to be guaranteed by the hundreds of years of courts' interpretation of the constitutional freedoms already.

CBP defines 'border' as 100 miles from a coast. Two-thirds of the US population live in the 'border zone.' And we literally have viral footage of them executing people.
So keeping CBP 'at the border' and bodycams would mean much of the country can still be terrorized by CBP and executed on film

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.
