“This Is Not America” Is the Most Dangerous Lie We Keep Telling Ourselves
The idea that large-scale state violence and repression are foreign to US soil is a dangerous fiction.

Dear DHS: You need to implement an immediate operational stand down of ICE and Border Patrol interior operations so your agents can learn basic stuff, like the fact that the First Lady of the United States is an American citizen even though she has an accent.
CNN airs unearthed footage of a Border Patrol agent harassing a ride share driver:
"If you were from this country, you would know I'm an immigration officer... I can hear you don't have the same accent as me."

I want to clear up a misconception some of you may have. Then let’s talk about an easy way—a way endorsed by none other than Heather Cox Richardson— to grow our movement, spread courage, and show the world that we are NOT OK with what’s happening.

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Oh interesting: the MN National Guard had publicly promoted that, if deployed, they would wear bright vests to differentiate themselves from DHS, who wear camo despite not being in the U.S military — and it appears they really did!
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.
DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.
