Noem has actually relaxed drug interdiction efforts on the frontiers, meaning that drug smuggling has almost certainly increased on her watch.

Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "I mean -- c'mon. We're still pretending that ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it is disappearing legal residents into cars, it is murdering American citizens."

Here is exactly the problem: Noem is calling people who are going through legal asylum proceedings ‘dangerous criminals.’ Don’t let the administration gaslight the public. Contact your representatives and insist on real oversight of ICE and DHS, not fear‑mongering talking points.

Thank you, Chanhassen. You understood the assignment:

"Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight"

We won't rest until all the innocent detainees have been brought back home.

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

A sign displayed next to "Know Your Rights" handouts seen at a clinic today:

"Meta glasses and any form of recording are strictly prohibited within the clinic premises."

Someone had to explain to me what "meta glasses" are. I appreciate how much this clinic's staff is caring for their patients.

This is a good start.

I support legislation that would prohibit federal ICE agents from wearing masks and put a moratorium on evictions.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

“Even after the Trump administration deployed thousands of armed, masked, and poorly trained federal agents to brutalize Minnesotans, people are responding by protesting peacefully, by organizing their communities, and by looking out for their neighbors.”

Wishing you good health, lots of delicious food, a warm home, meaningful connections with family and friends, and the ability to see the opportunity behind every challenge you face this new year.

So long, 2025.

All based on a “gotcha” video claiming that 3 daycares had no kids. One hadn’t opened yet for the day; one is actually closed. Dude arrived with no I.D. No call ahead. They DIDN’T LET HIM IN!

The fraud they’re referencing was investigated & prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. The ringleader was white.
This is monstrous. He wants to turn the residents of the state against Walz and against the Somali-American population.
BREAKING

The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.

Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.
