This is an important task for citizens advocates. ICE will be held accountable. Run their plates - if they don’t line up - report them to the state.
Here's a tip. ICE has reportedly been faking and switching license plates on cars, so if you see ICE run their plate through www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and if the year, make, and model don't match, report them to your local and state authorities.

this has flown under the radar, but we are doing third-country detention in a country with a worse human rights record than North Korea
And here’s an Omni jet landing in Equatorial Guinea yesterday. This is very likely a third-country removal to a torture prison, the second in a week and the third there overall.

ICE says it arrested 10,000 "criminal illegal aliens" in MN but it has only released 240 names of immigrants arrested as of Jan. 19. Of those 240, 80% have felony convictions. Nearly all had served their time and were not actively wanted when they were detained, according to a Star Tribune analysis.
ICE says it has arrested 10,000 ‘criminal illegal aliens’ in Minnesota, but offers little proof
If accurate, that total would represent a substantial share of the state’s undocumented immigrants.

They are not going after the “worst of the worst” — they are ripping families apart and forever traumatizing children.

Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

I will 100% guarantee that the decision not to investigate is coming from Stephen Miller. Rationally, doing even a superficial investigation and “clearing” Ross would help them. But for Miller, that would be acknowledging the existence of constraints on his power

Tomorrow marks one year into Trump's second term. Worst case scenarios are already unfolding.
Trump's derangement will only worsen, and eventually the US government will have to act against him.
The question is, how much damage will he do to the US, the West and the world before they finally act?

A good time to remind everyone of the Minnesota First. One of the earliest state militias to volunteer to fight in the Civil War—three years after joining the Union! Provided one of the essential turning points at Gettysburg. Took the flag of the Virginia regiment they captured AND STILL HAVE IT.
