Another ICE shooting in Minneapolis, which tonight looks like a war zone.

🚨 An ICE-linked federal officer shot a man in the leg during a confrontation in north Minneapolis. The ICE agent and the man he shot are reportedly in the hospital.

The IRS is effectively unable to audit private equity, venture capital, and real estate investment firms.

Thousands of workers have been fired from the agency since DOGE and the world's richest man took an ax to it.

Now audits of these giant enterprises have dropped 80 or 90%.

The United States does not have an extradition treaty with Qatar, which means that extraditing individuals from Qatar to the U.S. is generally not possible. However, extradition can still occur under specific circumstances, often depending on diplomatic relations and the nature of the crime.

This is what criminals & soon-to-be-sanctioned dictators do: set up a cozy personal nest egg in a country that won't extradite them & has no agreements that would compel them to enforce other countries' sanctions.

That's why sanctioned Russian oligarchs made a beeline for the UAE in 2022.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

"Psychologically important to you or to the United States?"

“Psychologically important for me," Trump answered. "Now, maybe another president would feel differently, but so far I’ve been right about everything."

Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

The Star Tribune had an insane graphic about the presence of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. There are more immigration officers in the metro right now than local police officers.
