I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.
Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

The murder of Renee Good by ICE has shocked the nation.
The President is deploying his own personal armed thugs into the streets of America.

Whenever any American's life is taken by another American unnecessarily…whenever we tear at the fabric of life which another man has woven for himself and his children, the whole nation is degraded.

Holy cow: TRUMP LEAKED THIS MORNING'S PAYROLL NUMBERS.
At 8:20pm last night he posted a photo of a briefing he received from his CEA. It reveals market-moving numbers that were officially released at 8:30am this morning.
(Note: CEA receives the data—confidentially—on Thursday evening.)

When you have nothing to offer the electorate, you game the system any way you can; from gerrymandering to voter intimidation are the tools of authoritarians.
Murphy: "As their agenda becomes more unpopular, they then become more dependent on trying to rig out democracy and rig the next election, bc nobody is gonna vote these guys back in ... You gotta connect the dots here. What they are trying to do is rationalize violence."

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

It would appear that Congress' concern over the lack of training and standards in the ICE hiring surge was quite well-founded.

We should not be surprised that the US Gov't has begun killing their own citizens extrajudicially; they have been doing that in Gulf of Mexico with impunity and it was only a matter of time before they began here at home.
