In May, I told Rubio that locking up students for exercising their free speech rights was outrageous & unlawful. He scoffed.

Now, a judge has said he & others engaged in an “unconstitutional conspiracy” to take away those rights.

We must defend our freedoms at every turn.

Just a little anecdote to support the polling that shows Trump's ICE violence is souring independents and even some republicans: I'm currently on a train with a south shore family, one of whom is wearing a state police shirt, and they're saying what's happening in Minnesota is "a little extreme"

Just for once, I would love a reporter to ask a cop who is doing this:

"Are you law enforcement or do you make the law? I've heard many police officers say 'Don't blame us, we just enforce the law.' But you're trying to stop lawmakers from imposing police oversight. Explain."

In the event that ICE tries to flash this at you, look for the caption at the top. See where it has United States District Court and below it all the )))))s, along with a case number? ICE's administrative warrants don't have that.

January 15, 2026 at 5:08 PM Reid Forgrave ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then arrest workers Federal agents detained three workers from a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Willmar yesterday, hours after four agents ate lunch there. It was not immediately clear what the immigration status of those detained was, or whether the people detained included the restaurant’s owners or only workers. An eyewitness who declined to give a name for fear of retribution, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that four ICE agents sat in a booth for a meal at El Tapatio a little before 3 p.m. Staff at the restaurant were frightened, said the eyewitness, who shared pictures from the restaurant as well as video of the arrest. The arrest happened around 8:30 p.m. near a Lutheran church and Willmar Middle School as agents followed the workers after they closed up for the night. A handful of bystanders blew whistles and shouted at agents as they detained the people. “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

Are you currently 480th in line for an e-book and wondering why @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social doesn't just ... buy more copies?

The short answer: e-books are incredibly expensive. But D.C. lawmakers have a plan to curb the excessive pricing from publishers, @maustermuhle.bsky.social reports:
Libraries can't afford e-books. D.C. lawmakers have a plan.
The demand and price for e-books is up — and it’s busting the D.C. Public Library budget.

This reminded me of something @laurajedeed.bsky.social was told at an ICE recruitment event months back: slate.com/news-and-pol...
When, during a moment of protracted silence, the agent threatened to put the video back on if no one had questions, I asked about harassment and doxing. "We will prosecute people to the fullest extent of the law," he assured me, "and then people like myself will go on TV and publicly talk about how that person is now in prison to dissuade other people from doing it."

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
By Douglas MacMillan When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the Jan. 3 death of detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp, the agency said “staff observed him in distress,” and it gave no cause of death. An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner told Lunas Campos’s daughter this week that, subject to results of a toxicology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a homicide, according to a recording of the conversation. In the recording, which the daughter shared with The Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there “is listing the preliminary cause of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression,” which means Lunas Campos did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, “our doctor is believing that we’re going to be listing the manner of death as homicide.” In an interview with The Post, Santos Jesus Flores, a man who says he was detained in the segregation unit the day Lunas Campos died, said he saw at least five guards struggling with Lunas Campos after he refused to enter the segregation unit, complaining that he didn’t have his medications. Flores said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, “No puedo respirar” — Spanish for “I can’t breathe.” Medical staff tried to resuscitate him for an hour, after which they took his body away, Flores said. “He said, ‘I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.’ After that, we don’t hear his voice anymore and that’s it,” said Flores, who had contacted a family member of Lunas Campos, who in turn put him in touch with a Post reporter. The Post confirmed Flores was in Camp East Montana through ICE’s detainee locator.
