This much is clear: Stephen Miller is in charge. They've shipped off Bovino, they're hanging Noem out to dry, Trump is using slightly conciliatory language...and Miller is still running a blitzkrieg in Minnesota. He, not Trump, is in charge. And he is the one Democrats should fight to remove.
here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop.

Again, this is terrorism.

The Obama administration did what the current administration does not. They went after actual criminals, and used the justice system, including DUE PROCESS, to deport them. The current administration just grabs people off the street and makes the disappear.

ICE does not need more training. They’re doing exactly what they’re trained to do.

Democrats cannot vote for a single cent to ICE.

Yeah terrible morale; gee, I wish I could garner some empathy here. It escapes me. They'll collect that $50,000 signing bonus. Maybe that will help 'em sleep better at night after they let children die in detention & shoot people in the streets. Wonder why everybody hates 'em. Just saying

It does seem strange Trump has completely lawless people looking for supposed lawless immigrants 🤔🤨. One thing for sure, this administration is fascist,racist,bigoted and vile. And we’ve all seen their hypocrisy. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Everyday is another chapter in Trump chaos.

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."

There is 0.0% chance that we will be fooled by a bs compromise in the senate on DHS funding. Package it, put a bow on it, try to sell it however you want. Not gonna work. If you aren’t sure about that, spend more time in your states with constituents.

The anger against this fascist Trump regime trying to enslave us all right now is palpable across the country! My question is why the hell did it have to take the deaths of all these innocent ICE victims before people here finally woke up to what the fuck was going on in our country?!

Russia struck a passenger train in eastern Ukraine with Shahed drones.
A civilian train. Families. Children. Ordinary people.

291 passengers on board.
A carriage set ablaze.
Civilians wounded.

This was not an accident.
This was not a misfire.
This is Russian terror.

Chief Federal Judge Patrick J. Schlitz ordered the head of ICE to appear in court on Fri to explain why he's violating court orders. Also, U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez ordered the Adminisration address motives behind ICE's operations in MN. A supplemental brief must be filed by Wed EOD.

IMPORTANT READ, given our increasingly fractured reality. Watch out for:

1: Telling you the story before they know the story.
2: Telling you the story of what’s in someone’s heart or mind.
3: Amping up the story with big adjectives.
