Hearing this language from elected Dems is like seeing your most troubled math student (the one who grinds through basic equations over and over again for weeks only to implode every time) suddenly scribble out and solve a problem using the quadratic equation through pure muscle memory.
Chris Murphy says DHS reforms must be legislative and Democrats won’t accept admin-level stuff. “There’s nothing the administration can promise us that will do the job… They can't be trusted to keep to their promises. So we need to change the DHS bill and build reforms into the language of the bill”

"Our brave heroes are fighting to save the country from illiberal woke word-policing. And if you insist on calling them Gestapo instead of their preferred pronouns (him, herr) we are going to fucking murder everybody!"
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis tonight—
Around 100 protesters are gathered across from the facility. Some vehicles with masked agents inside have been periodically arriving.
DHS agents just gave another warning to stay out of the road and driveway, called out press as well.

We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country.
