@cnn.com Listening to today's episode of One Thing re Trump sending troops to the polls.
It is abjectly illegal. Please ask your guests to read 18 U.S. Code § 592 - Troops at polls | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute share.google/hcNYKH2oDPRp...
But Trump ignores the law.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Weren't the 2020 voting records in Fulton County under seal?
How can the government pierce that seal and simply have Cruella DeVille show up and seize them for an unknown purpose?

Terrific article from MPR news.
Bravo to the local police chief for intervening and returning the woman home.
Boo-hiss to ICE or whomever decided it was a good idea to kidnap an American citizen.
Homan, get these morons out of Minnesota.

Homan - get your goons out of Minneapolis. Be a human.
If we didn't have video of it from 4 different POVs, CBP would be telling us that Alex Pretti committed suicide.
This is a big part of why ICE/CBP can't be "reformed." These aren't isolated acts - it's a culture of violence and lawlessness.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."
