Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.
She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

If the Democrats were a serious party, Elizabeth Warren would be leading them.
I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents.
No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes.
Get ICE out of Minnesota.

Would sure be nice if the politicians representing Liam’s family in Minnesota would do something about this!
I will be putting in notice Friday morning with DHS to return to Dilley to check on Liam again and the many other children and families there. Liam did not look well. My staff and I are very concerned about him.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Eight hours after Homan's press conference, my kids' school went into code yellow and were held inside past release time because of ICE vehicles in the area. Maybe they were just looking to abduct children in a more professional, targeted manner, though.
