In a secret deportation arrangement, the Trump administration flew nine people, nearly all of whom had been granted U.S. court protections from being sent back to their home countries, to the African nation of Cameroon in January.

Most had court orders protecting them from removal to their home countries, so they were sent to detention in Cameroon.

Per John's thread below, I hope Democratic primary voters in North Carolina are paying attention to this issue amidst their State Legislative primaries.

There are some elected State Leg Dems who keep joining Republicans to override Gov. Stein's vetoes.
in The NC primaries that are on March 3 the primaries do matter. there are democrats in very blue districts who vote to override Stein's vetos and give the republicans an effective super majority in the state house.

Donald Trump calls Democrats "corrupt and deranged." He calls Democrats "demented and evil." A master of projection, Trump has defined himself again.

O'Keefe to Homan: "2 agents now on leave bc video evidence shows sworn testimony appears to be untruthful. DHS initially said officer who shot the migrant was being ambushed. Combine that w/ 2 deadly shootings & a Chicago incident where evidence contradicted govt - does this undermine trust in ICE?"

It’s not “deeply concerning.” It’s not just ICE agents. It’s not <like> authoritarianism; it <is> authoritarianism. It requires immediate impeachment & removal, & I wish Obama, along with Clinton, GWB, & yes even Mitt Romney, had the courage to get in front mics every day & call for that explicitly.
Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

"Billionaires like thinkers who see their exploitation of the weak as good and natural. Epstein funneled ~$20m a year to academic men who shared his ideology [and got] to hold forth in formal sessions at Harvard, condemning feeding and caring for the poor as if he were making a scholarly argument."

We are going to have the house, senate, and presidency soon. It will be a generational opportunity to rein in tech companies, break up monopolies, throw Trump regime in prison, create strong social safety nets, get back to valuing education, science, the environment, etc

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene just admitted the Epstein files were blocked by Donald Trump himself.

“He fought the hardest to STOP these files from being released.”

Not Democrats. Not the DOJ. Not “the deep state.”

When ICE shot Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the leg, they claimed it was justified

They said the agent was “ambushed” by men who hit him with a shovel

They blamed Governor Walz and Mayor Frey for the attack

It was all a lie

The charges against Celis were dismissed

And the agents might be charged

This may be the most dangerous development of all. It will give Trump fake legal pretext to reject Nov election results. American democracy has like 9 months left.

They're just doing it more quietly and hoping the Epstein Files and SAVE ACT coverage moves MSP off the front page
ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown.

But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.

Chuck Schumer reminds me of a Sam Kinison joke where he’s talking about world hunger.

Kinison: “Uh…You know the camera man has a sandwich…”
