The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:

1. Film ICE in public

2. Photograph ICE in public

3. Observe what ICE does in public

ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

Shouldn't it be a bigger story that the immigration cops are seizing and imprisoning people who CANNOT POSSIBLY BE IMMIGRANTS

The latter part of this tweet has gone under the radar but it's an alarming escalation. The Trump admin has already detained dozens of people with full refugee status, seemingly those who had not yet adjusted to green cards, and is detaining them in Texas and seeking to strip them of their status.
Update: Since Jan 9, there have been 12 ICE Air flights out of Minneapolis, MN—a jump from the typical 3 flights/week to Minneapolis. This surge is taking place as people with valid refugee status are being taken from their homes in MN & transferred to detention centers in TX.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

My mom kept

The local newspaper
Readers Digest
Guideposts
Crossword puzzles

in our bathroom

Granted, not the best idea when there was 5 people to one bathroom

I was the only one who read everything

But I grew up reading a variety of content without a town library

Sunday comics were a legend
why did so many millennials read so many newspaper comics? easily 60 percent of my reading diet in elementary/middle school was collected editions of calvin and hobbes, farside, dilbert, peanuts, doonesbury (!), foxtrot (?!?) and i know im not alone. historically unique phenomenon
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job

This truncated thread is worth digging through

I had this exact same question about the DoorDash couple

The folks in this thread to a great job explaining it
Hey @deborahahrens.bsky.social or anyone else with specialized knowledge: I have now seen multiple videos of ICE and/or cops telling people that insisting on a warrant before allowing them to enter your home is obstruction of justice.

Is this true under any circumstance?

I also want to iterate that a declaration of martial law has nothing to do with the holding of elections. There is no provision in the Constitution for suspending elections in the case of martial law. The federal government does not hold elections; state governments do.
What is currently going on in Minneapolis is far past the 'what if he declares martial law' hypothetical for the practical impact it is having on people's lives. (And deaths.) They are going door-to-door, sometimes kicking those doors down, demanding papers on the street and shooting folks.
So we’re all clear that Trump is escalating ICE raids so he can trigger retaliatory violence and then declare martial law to interfere with midterm elections, right?

Close to 90 million people did NOT vote in the 2024 election.

90 million.

It bears repeating over and over and over.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.

End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.
