These numbers are heartbreakingly low. This is about basic human decency and believing in fundamentals of law. It *should* supersede basic partisanship, but the wall is pretty impenetrable.
New Quinnipiac poll:
63% of voters disapprove of ICE
60% want ICE out of Minneapolis
58% want Kristi Noem removed from office

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

This man is morally void and the most responsible of anyone for how toxic this country is right now.
ROLLING STONE: “The damage from Miller’s grand designs are plain for all to see. Americans’ mistrust and hyper-partisanship has grown only more poisonous. The country feels like a tinder box and Miller, and ICE are running around with lit matches.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

Democrats just won a special election in St. Paul by 91%. That's basically impossible and also a 20% improvement over Harris's showing in the seat. Also, it shows that deploying ICE as a voter suppression tactic probably only works against their own voters.

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that we get rid of Miller. His race war fantasies have informed the vision behind the federal assaults on US cities, as I discussed here.
My latest: How Renee Good's murder and paramilitary assaults on US cities reflect longstanding right-wing race war fantasies and Stephen Miller's fixation with a novel about white genocide. I also talk about the stories we tell and live in opposition to these narratives and share a must-reads list.
Choosing Each Other in a Time of Terror
Rather than being disbanded or intimidated by Good’s murder, the people of Minneapolis have been galvanized, escalating their resistance and refusing to retreat from the work of protecting one another...

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.
They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.
My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years.
At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.
