I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

This just pissed me off even more than the re-handcuffing
The notion that these motherfuckers were the ones showing grace, that the women should be appreciative and speak well of the agents, that substandard treatment is conditioned on the women's portraying then as benevolent
Fuckin disgusting

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.
They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

I don't think in my lifetime there has ever been a U.S. federal agency as universally and deservedly hated (in this country, anyway) as ICE.

Sadly, defunding DHS with this CR will not defund ICE. ICE is funded at double its capacity through the end of 2028 from the Big Ugly Bill.

Gestapo-ICE detained a 2 year old girl and sent her on a plane to Texas despite a judge ordering for the baby to be released. They also detained a 10 year old and a 5 year old and used the 5 year old as bait.
