I'm a Columbia Heights resident. ICE is still here, terrorizing, breaking laws, harassing people, causing chaos. Tell your family and friends. No matter what this administration's minions report: Nothing Has Changed.

Despite judge’s order, ICE sent an immigrant to Mexico instead of back to Minnesota
The government says the undocumented immigrant voluntarily left the U.S. His attorney is seeking a contempt of court finding as the federal courts remain overwhelmed by immigration cases.

So far, the record is 100%:

Whatever ICE says happened, videos and witnesses show that they lied.

There are people on here who are pretending that someone who is more radical in their beliefs is more likely to *act* on those beliefs when the chips are down.

This is not true.

It is a myth that is interfering with actually getting shit done.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
 
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
 
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

There are four more students from Liam's MN school district in federal detention in Dilley, TX, two of them from the same school as Liam. A second grader, a fourth grader, a fifth grader, and a high-schooler.
i am so grateful that liam ramos as home. this is also a story about the importance of observation and getting these stories out there. how many children are detained that don’t get the same treatment because they don’t have powerful photos

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Cops called in to testify end up missing hearings at double the rate of defendants.

Yet in many places, defendants alone face the harsh consequences of jail for missing a court date:
