Disband DHS.
Imprison all the people involved in these assaults, and death penalties for the murderers and the leaders who told them they had immunity to murder.

Conflicting info about whether Pretti was murdered by ICE or CBP makes it clear that ICE is not single "rogue agency"
ICE, CBP and ALL policing & borders must be abolished. This isn't just one agency; its an entire infrastructure of carceral control, illegalization & criminalization, and fascism.

It’s not even the murders, though they are of course horrendous. It’s the thousands of deportations which would be considered ethnic cleansing in any other country. It’s the unaccountable immigration court system that tries toddlers. The system is guilty.

The amount of money that is currently going to fund immigration enforcement in the US is larger than the military budgets of every country in the world other than the US and China. We are witnessing a military assault on American cities by a wildly unpopular governing party.

Yes, that’s exactly it. The whole reason they’re there is they want revenge for the George Floyd protests
Utterly bizarre that the authorities keep responding to ICE murders by acting like protesters are smashing windows and burning police stations. They seem to be responding to the 2020 protests, not what's happening now

The detention of witnesses and seizure of their phones is an extraordinary violation of every fucking Amendment you can name:

Why are witnesses in federal detention?
The StarTribune live blog is paywall free:
- The man shot by federal agents this morning has died
- Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building.
- ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said.

Call your senators. ICE today is a product of ICE of yesterday, of our carceral and policing and security logic — that’s all true. But shooting civilians point blank in the street with impunity is turning a corner we won’t come back from. Please call them today & tell them not to fund this.

Yep. It's the correct term. That it makes people uncomfortable is more reason to use accurate language.

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

I think the NYT took a decided right-wing turn some time during the easing of COVID restrictions and the impulse towards false balance or "both sides" journalism doesn't alone adequately explain the editorial bias we've seen since.

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.
This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.
It worked.
It worked.
Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.
