A third immigrant held at Camp East Montana has died, reportedly by suicide. Victor Manuel Díaz was detained in Minnesota. He is the sixth migrant to die since Jan. 1 in ICE detention.

DHS said in October that "comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences."
After I found one of their lawyers for ICE is a racist and a self-described fascist who has praised Hitler, there have been no consequences.

My Mother Devoted her Life to Minneapolis' Korean Service Center--and now ICE and White Supremacists want to wreck it in their racist hatred for Somalis
They probably don't even know this place is there but when they find it will probably try to wreck these poor elderly Koreans on the way to wrecking the Somali community

The problem, of course, is that one of our two political parties has organized itself around a world of “alternative facts” in which the meaning of words and independently-verifiable evidence are irrelevant. If J6 can be a “day of love,” then lots of swearing at Bovino can be an Insurrection.
The Insurrection Act does require an actual insurrection. The violence in Minneapolis is almost exclusively one-sided. People yelling at you, calling you names, and recording you on a cell phone isn’t violence. And if the courts let Trump say it is, we’re in a lot of trouble.

New arrests, new conspiracies in #Belarus.

The more info we get about this raid, the worse it becomes. ICE had NO valid warrant (administrative warrants do not authorize forceful entry into a home), the guy's sole prior conviction was a since-dismissed drug charge from 2008, AND he had checked in with ICE just days earlier.

I don’t think federal officers should fire flashbang grenades and tear gas canisters into a car that has children in it, causing a baby to stop breathing and sending kids to the hospital. I think that’s bad, not good.

Q: Why are we seeing Americans being asked on the street to provide proof of citizenship in MN? Is that targeted enforcement & are you advising Americans to carry proof of citizenship?
