This is some serial killer shit.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

The story of the slow, inexorable decline of Trump's support in the last thirteen months is the story of millions of Americans, one person at a time, witnessing the obscenities being perpetrated by this administration and being roused to opposition.
I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

![Beware the Trump-backed so-called "Save
America Act" (HR 7296), which:
1. Requires that states establish voter purge programs using systems that experts call unreliable, such as the DHS's "SAVE" system (as updated by "DOGE") & the SA's verification system.
2. Subjects election officials to citizen suits & potential prison time for a single erroneous registration (even if the voter is a citizen), but not for erroneous voter purges.
3. Requires that anyone registering to vote or changing their registration (or re-registering after a faulty voter purge) prove their citizenship in person with approved documentation, such as a U.S. passport (an expensive option that many voters lack).
4. Omits Real IDs from the list of approved registration documentation, unless:
a. The Real ID "indicates the applicant is a [U.S.] citizen", a requirement that excludes most Real IDs because only 5 states issue Real IDS that indicate citizenship, or
b. The Real ID is presented with a certified birth certificate that matches the Real ID, which won't work for up to 6gM women whose last names don't match their birth certificates.
5. Omits marriage certificates from the list of approved registration documents, effectively disenfranchising the women in 4b, above, unless they can afford passports.
6. Won't let you cast a ballot without Voter ID documents that again prove you are a U.S. citizen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:govcwd63z5jxmfmi4gc4expg/bafkreiadpzyzybit3cw4ki64t4dndyiua2teabpg4zqxeyhiiyyhhw5lmi@jpeg)

YES. A turn to state constitutions for substantive protections from federal authoritarianism is a necessary development under the present circumstances.
I've long seen federalism as on balance bad for rights—Jim Crow, after all, lasted nearly a century. But today, its potential can't be denied.

When state courts interpret their own constitutions to offer broader rights, the federal judiciary can't overturn them. A crucial safeguard against authoritarianism.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

On one hand, that is some garbage framing.
On the other hand, "Democrats refused to fund the DHS" makes me feel a lot better about some Democrats being up to the needs of this moment.

Note the framing here:
It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.”
