The default assumption for all news outlets at this point should be that the federal government is just making things up after the fact to justify their horrific actions.

Guys, I really need to talk about something dumb and meaningless. What's a universally beloved sweet treat that you think is just mid? For me, it's meringue.

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

Hey @oregonian.com , federal agents indiscriminately deployed tear gas on a peaceful protest full of children in Southwest Portland this afternoon.

There is no "reforming" an organization that ignores the law. It's not a legal agent, it's just an armed gang of thugs.
Abolish and prosecute ICE.
so tired of calling my senators with new reasons for why they can’t make a deal on the DHS funding but I’m going to keep calling

A judge told them not to arrest Don Lemon and they are of course breaking the law

You cannot trust them not to break the law!!!!!!!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

That dang face eating leopard again....
Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

Yup. All of them.
The police are never going to protect anyone. They're just another armed gang.

NEW: An ICE officer killed a person in broad daylight in Minneapolis today — with posted video appearing to contradict the DHS statement claiming self-defense, as the driver appeared to be attempting to drive away when shot.

Jesus. What the fuck.
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.
