MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

Kristi Noem misled the American people and allowed ICE to violate Americans’ Constitutional rights.

She needs to be impeached.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "These federal officials, at the direction of President Trump, VP Vance, and Secretary Noem, are eviscerating the most important thing you need to keep a community safe, and that is trust between law enforcement and the community they are sworn to protect."

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol “commander-at-large” who terrorized people across America in his Nazi-like trench coat, is being put out to pasture by President Donald Trump.

The cause was Bovino’s stupidity, not his cruelty.
How Bovino proved too openly fascistic for Trump
And what it means—or doesn't—that border czar Tom Homan is taking over.

I assume he's wearing a single glove to cover up the massive bruise all over his left hand?
Q: Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or assassin?

TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but he certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun. I don't like that he had a gun.

This is progress, but we are not letting up.

Demand your Senators vote no on a bill that would keep funding ICE while doing nothing to keep us safe from these out of control federal agents. Take action at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
