I've never read a more convincing admission of impotence.
After we abolish ICE, we need to rebuild the US Congress. It needs to believe it has an actual purpose in our democracy.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

ICE have made 2400 arrests in Minnesota, of which they claim “dozens” are criminals. Assuming that means 24, because why else not specify the exact number, that means 1% of the people they’ve arrested arguably posed a threat to the people of MN. There’s no way to justify the chaos with that stat.

It’s possible to feel bad for anyone dragged by a car and (possibly) having internal bleeding from being clipped by another car while just doing their job AND still feel shooting someone in the face twice through an open window once the car had cleared them needs to be prosecuted.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

First of all, good for her for calmly standing her ground and ignoring all the empty threats -- "we're gonna put you in the car and ID you!" -- until these goons give up and slink away.
Second, the irony of masked agents of the state with no name plates demanding *other* people identify themselves?

If your worldview is so threatened by even the discussion of alternative points of view, it’s dogmatic and anti-intellectual. This applies to all POV’s across the political spectrum.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against
