This arrest comes after a week of Fox News and other far-Right outlets turning out a stream of content about one person's Instagram videos.
If they can make someone into a "terrorist" simply for speech on social media they don't like - they can and will, do it to anyone.

Before you fucking say “they can’t do that”, we need to fucking prep at every level to ensure we’re ready.

Ashley is doing the good work here to address an immediate crisis. She would be a better mayor than @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social and we should all be calling little Jakey and asking what the fuck he's doing to make sure families can stay in their homes.
I said we were done asking for rent money. But today I heard the horrifying fact that there are zero family shelter beds in the entire state of Minnesota. So we are going to try something new.
We are going to do peer to peer funding. You take on urgent‼️ funding for one family. You send to them.

The only paths to resolving this that I am aware of are A) impeach RFK, and then prevent the confirmation of anyone who would continue this attempt to murder children by denying them access to life-saving healthcare.

Among other things, the denial of legal representation is what differentiates a"detention center" from a "concentration camp".
ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.
