I reported on the MN woman who lost her Global Entry status as a result of legally observing ICE/CBP in suburban Minneapolis. (several days before the NYT did - AHEM)

I spoke to another woman who had a similar thing happen today.

More coming in tomorrow's newsletter.
I talked with the Minnesota legal observer whose Global Entry status’s was revoked three days after a confrontation with a CBP agent. Here’s what she wants you to know.

I use this a lot… but ICE’s airborne objects are all off radar, I hope air traffic control has visibility of them though because they always cross commercial aircraft landing lanes (Minneapolis)

I’ve seen them use helicopters, small prop planes & drones - all off radar.

- Asking Congress to end the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) funding to detain or monitor immigrants

- a lot more.

The police have literally done nothing in not only California but Minneapolis, Colorado, Arizona, etc. The mayor's and governors have done nothing. Why would we think that they will do anything now? It's a lot of talk and no action.

Binged the entire new season of #LincolnLawyer in 2 days. It was so much better than last season. The only thing I didn't like is they left his new driver hanging in jail on a gun charge/parole violation.

Jacob Frey is a collaborator.
Following this incident I followed up with Mayor Frey to ask for more information about what had happened. His chief of staff confirmed that the Mayor and his administration had a meeting with border czar Tom Homan. I assume the ICE vehicles outside were part of Homan’s convoy.
