Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

Thing is Putin did actually have a lot of support in the population due to the implicit deal of improved economic conditions, the Russian regime knows that you can't do the all stick all the time method without the carrot.

But this is how Border Patrol in particular has behaved, continuously. They threaten and brutalize people at the slightest provocation. They troop around like an invading army, not a force that is supposed to protect us. When you see it, it’s so clear: they’re the conquerors, we’re the enemy.

I blocked those guys early on and never looked back.
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

This thread is an awful long list of ICE arresting absolutely anyone they can, without any reason, just that they wanted to.
Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

“Why would you bring a gun to a protest?”

Pal, there are people who bring AR’s to the grocery store and you’re totally cool with that so maybe sit this one out.

We can and should demand more, and this point is no reason to let up. But I do want to acknowledge something: to get members of Congress talking like this is necessary even if it's insufficient. And it's absolutely not sufficient. But it is still a necessary step if we want them to ever do the rest.
I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

the party that spammed the “what about decorum and decency?” button for 20 years while insinuating our first black president was from Africa while insinuating mass shooting of school children were staged is going to be suddenly shocked that nobody gives a shit about their decorum & decency anymore.

In like 5 months, republicans are going to try to rerun a Jay Jones when it gets leaked that some democratic says that ICE agents should be liked up along a wall and it’s not going to make a single difference in that democrat leading by a landslide. And republicans will not comprehend it.

In 1775 a lot of people were unhappy with the King but they weren’t necessarily ready to commit treason. That changed when the King’s troops started shooting their neighbors, stealing food, and raping women.

Good god.
when the feds essentially abandoned the scene today after gassing us, we saw upon returning to the intersection this pile of what we were pretty sure was alex’s coat & some of his clothes, a lighter & a crampon, with crime scene tape in it

we created the barrier to preserve likely evidence

Operation PARRIS is one of the most heinous things this administration has done yet. Trump’s people ordered ICE to round up 5,600 legally present refugees, people who have done NOTHING wrong, with no warning, and jailed them in Texas to be interrogated about their status.

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country.

The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

Imagine this in a trial.

Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing

Declaration filed in federal court:

"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

MN BCA through the MN attorney general Keith Ellison, yes. The TRO is against them "destroying or altering" any evidence. That's all they asked for on the TRO, this does not itself require anything be turned over yet but it is acting to preserve that possibility.

The killing happened about 15 hours ago. Since then:

- MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (FBI equivalent) got a warrant for the evidence on the scene
- Tried to execute it
- Were forcibly turned away by feds
- Filed for a temporary restraining order
- TRO granted by the federal district court

Minnesota ICE-watchers did this.

By relentlessly documenting ICE/BP/DHS abuses—taking on personal risk to do so—they’ve gotten the horrors into more information streams. Got more people to pay attention, undermined Trump regime lies, and shifted the stances of some Democratic officeholders.

What kind of depraved, anti-American sentiment is "ICE > MN" anyway? I know it's commonplace now, but that's a whole goddamn state. Who would have ever said "our paramilitary organization is more important to us than an American state" and kept their job before
This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.

He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

Really smart move. Will the full a circuit and Chief Judge Colloton preserve an administrative stay in the face of this showing I just likelihood of success but irreparable injury and balance of equities
UPDATE: Here's request from @ACLU & others to 8th Circuit to lift administrative stay the appeals court granted (anonymously) earlier in week. That set aside for now a district court judge's order limiting DHS agents' tactics against peaceful protesters. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
