Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings.

Following ICE to find and report news is, of course, journalism, but here's something the administration may not know: activism is also legal in this country!
Also, show us the part where law enforcement is in any way obstructed or impeded.

Kid Rock’s song about loving underage girls resurfaces ahead of TPUSA Super Bowl show
The song has a verse about liking girls underage and 'statutory' being 'mandatory.'

This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.

Yup.
Is it right to compare the alt-right's "peaceful ethnic cleansing" campaign in the US in 2026, to the nazi ethnic cleansing campaign in 1935?
Again, listen to the founder of the alt-right tell you if the comparison is appropriate.
Ethnic cleansing is the only reason the alt-right was founded

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.
