HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated.

After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

It feels like our federal government has waged a war on Minnesota. But no need to take my word for it. Believe your eyes, columnist Rochelle Olson writes.
Olson: You can believe your eyes. There’s tyranny in the streets.

IDK why right-wingers keep bringing up Obama's record deportations, it just shows that if you wanted to have a conservative immigration policy without partisan militias occupying cities and gunning people down in the streets you could do it and a lot of americans would be fine with it

“He certainly shouldn’t have been carrying a gun. I don’t like that he had a gun,” Trump says about Alex Pretti.

“I don’t fucking care that they have guns, they’re not here to hurt me… Let them in,” Trump said on J6.

Get it? 2A is only for those who support him and his tyrannical regime.

Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, made this comment on 7/2/24

"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be".

If this wasn’t the ultimate wake-up call for the state of our democracy, nothing is.

This is a moral crisis, not a political crisis.
These words demand attention.

“In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock

This issue needs way more light.
A Trump-appointed district judge described the conditions of ICE detainees with no criminal history held in a temporary cell in the Central Islip federal courthouse on Long Island for days — putrid, cramped, inhumane and unlawful.

A: Most of the violent incidents you’re seeing are NOT happening at protests, but just in ordinary life in our communities.

It’s common for people to be gathered, some of whom planned to be there (e.g., people following ICE in cars) and some who didn’t (e.g., people who came out of their homes).

ICE/CBP swarms into Minnesota after reports of massive government fraud.
Somehow they sidestepped the orders-of-magnitude higher government fraud from Minnesota-based UnitedHealth, who leads a Medicare Advantage fraud that MedPac (a government analyst) estimates as costing America $76 billion/year

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
