Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.

It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

For YEARS I've been on the forefront of trying to pass real privacy reforms to stop an agency like Trump's ICE from weaponizing your private data. Now it's happened, but it's not too late to act. If you care about this as much as I do, please let your members of Congress know.

3. ICE is using government data from state DMVs and federal agencies and refuses to answer questions about how that data is used. I'm also leading that fight in the Senate to rein them in, and warned states that care about their residents to stop sharing DMV data with ICE.
Dem governors unwittingly share DMV data with ICE, lawmakers warn
40 congressional Democrats are urging blue-state leaders to block ICE access to a database containing residents’ driver license and registration information.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

NEW: Judge Patrick Schiltz planned to be low-key chief.

That’s not how it worked out for the old-school conservative/two-time Scalia clerk, who is now threatening to hold ICE’s director in contempt amid Operation Metro Surge.

Judge Patrick Schiltz didn’t want attention. Then ICE surged into his city.
The low-key George W. Bush appointee confronting Trump’s immigration tactics is a veteran of the conservative legal movement.

NEW: In August, the nursing home industry gave Trump's Super PAC $5M and had a private lunch with him at his golf course.

They asked him to repeal a rule that would have increased nursing home staffing.

Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of more than six million Jews and countless others who were systematically murdered in the Holocaust.

We are seeing a disturbing normalization of antisemitism and Holocaust denial, fueled by figures like Nick Fuentes.

This is a serious argument that Democratic leaders across the country cannot dismiss. ICE has committed atrocities, extraordinary crimes, and was purposefully trained to act outside the law not within it. I don't know that it can be reformed. 8/

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion.

UPDATE: After seeing this video, I informed ICE of my intent to visit the Baltimore facility today. I was told I would be denied entry.

It’s clear Trump's ICE would rather engage in a cover up. I will not stop pressing until we get answers. We need transparency & accountability.
Like many of you, I have seen this video, and I'm demanding answers.

My team has reached out to ICE repeatedly and have yet to get clear answers.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.
