Minneapolis judge bars DHS agents from arresting peaceful protesters
The order comes after local residents who were observing or protesting immigration raids said their constitutional rights were violated by federal agents.

Host: ICE agents have actually fired their guns at people in their cars at least 14 times since July, but so far none of the targets have been convicted, and none of the federal agents have been charged with the crime. We found no examples of those agents being subjected to any internal discipline.

a big problem here is the way every scrap of a claim about Democrats supposedly selling out gets hyped and inflated, and then even when it turns out to be untrue people remember it as having happened, or as having almost happened. Builds bad mental models.

US citizens detained by ICE speak out:
"They dragged me outside and pulled me into a headlock. I repeated, 'I'm a citizen. I have an ID.' The agent kept saying, 'That don't matter'... Inside my cell, I heard wailing, screaming, begging. Alongside that was the banter and laughter from the agents."
