The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

Sports figures are showing a lot more courage than business executives in speaking out in favor of free speech and free assembly and against state-sponsored murder.
Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.
But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

Just as police can be charged for reckless unprofessional conduct that results in needless death, so can ICE agents. The city of Minneapolis/state of Minnesota needs to arrest and charge the ICE agent for murder of a US citizen. It’s not a close call.

It gets worse.
HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her.
The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present.

If I didn’t run a story because of a no comment or ignored request, I’d have have published a lot fewer stories. Weiss’ standard is absurd.
Bari Weiss this morning on the 60 Minutes segment: "We need to be able to get the principals on the record and on camera."
Of course, most journalists know that oftentimes people who are the subject of negative reporting don't want to speak on camera or on the record.
