Make no mistake, the Trump administration didn’t “lose”. They rounded up thousands of people, detained US Citizens without any legal pretense. They’ve just gone as far as they can in Minneapolis.
So, they’re taking their show to the next town.
Keep fighting.

I dislike when people reduce important, history-making moments in modern life to pop culture references.

The government wants to know who will stand up for democracy so they can destroy us.
Held: Many of the ICE agents that drive by have their phones up to the window..I don’t know why, but part of the lawsuit you alluded to earlier alleges that ICE is using an app that can take a picture of a face, identify it, and store it for 15 years.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.
