That last sentence? That's the strategy. They've been pretty open about it.
“They’re trapped in this little confinement cell, a dark cell with no sunlight, with multiple people,” said Shaan Chatterjee, an attorney at New England Immigration Law. “They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation.”

DHS is issuing subpoenas to ask for the names & contact info for the social media accounts criticizing ICE.

This is a complete violation of your rights. The First Amendment doesn’t have an asterisk that says “unless you criticize the government.”

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Who could've predicted when Gabbard placed a mole in the intel community’s inspector general's office that it would result in complaints about her disappearing?

It’s way past time to get serious about IC whistleblower protections.

An intel community whistleblower is being gagged by the very person they’re trying to expose.

Under current rules, IC whistleblowers can’t go to Congress until the DNI tells them how.

The problem? Gabbard is the subject of the complaint and is slow-walking the process.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

The project would be several times bigger than any active data center on Earth.

It also has yet to secure land or approvals from the local authorities.
