People keep saying "Getting arrested is bad, actually" and while I'd certainly prefer not to be, the administration's entire strategy is built around the idea that I will live in fear of it, and shape my behavior to avoid it, and cry in shame if I am. That is how THEY CONTROL YOU.

Disgusting.

In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!”

Yesterday this was a lot of unconfirmed rumors about ICE being all over the Lower East Side that ballooned and ballooned with no evidence.

Again, a reminder, please learn how to responsibly spot these things and alert the right people. Knowing how to help leads to better results!
Warning to anyone concerned about ICE in NYC, or really anywhere else in the U.S. 🧵/

Recently, accounts on Instagram, Reddit, and other social media platforms have been blowing up with reports of sightings across the city, like in the image below.

I want to point out that ICE IS IN NYC, but...

Awful to even try to catalogue the harm being done here in MN.

Educational harms, students out school? At least months.

Economic harms, from empty, half-functioning businesses? At least years.

Civic and psychic harms, from shattering the basic sense of safety? Decades.

Stolen neighbors? Forever.
Exactly. The harm being done to our immigrant communities, the harm being done to communities of color, the harm being done to all of us, will not be measured in days or months. It will be measured in generations.

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

"abolish ICE isn't within grasp"

source: I made it up
“Abolish” or “defund” aren't within grasp in 2026. But where are:

- End qualified immunity
- Rewrite use-of-force so this crap isn't ruled “within policy”
- Overturn July 8 mandatory detention memo
- Reinstate TPS
- Open up detention centers, enforce humane conditions

He doesn’t even *ask* for it.
Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams

There are *already* standards on much of this.

The issue is DHS isn't following them!

This is why everyone should ignore the stories about Trump's de-escalation. The administration is *not* pivoting. It is pretending to pivot until the heat from the public and Congress dies down. Meanwhile, on the ground, it's more of the same, with slightly conciliatory language before the cameras.
More ICE door-to-door operations are taking place in Blaine, Minnesota, on 1/28/26.
