Periodic reminder that ICE still isn’t going after “hardened criminals”
We would all support that.
What do we gain from yanking this father away from his wife and child? What do we gain from deporting people who have been here for 20 years and never been in legal trouble?

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

They're flailing. They're overreaching. Their lies are unconvincing. They're infighting. The cracks are becoming fissures. I can smell the cognitive dissonance.

Way to de-escalate?
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

To the extent you have any education, consult with any legitimate news sources, know anything about what's happening in the world, you vote Dem. To the extent you don't, you vote Republican.
The fun thing is watching pundits strain mightily to cast this as something *negative about the Dem Party*.

Wow. But, it’s true!!
Glenn Beck: What Noem said is not true. His gun was holstered and in his back, and you have a right to carry a gun at a protest. It is perfectly legal and constitutionally protected. If you have a gun and you don't have your hands on it, you should not be shot.

Why do they always think this will work when their lies are so easily disproven?
CNN airs side-by-side comparison of Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino reading the same script as they attempt to lie about the killing of Alex Pretti.

This. Do not let up! All gas, no brakes!!!
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.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The chief federal judge in Minnesota says the Trump administration has failed to comply with orders to hold hearings for detained immigrants and ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear before him Friday to explain why he shouldn’t be held in contempt.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

What, you mean DOGE didn’t capture all the info????
Simon: "They don't just want the public stuff which anyone can get - name, address, voting history, stuff like that. What they want is very personal, private, sensitive data on millions of people - namely, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, military service history where applicable"
