ICE is thug scum
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

The new National Security Strategy of the U.S. contains some pretty explicit white nationalism:

If you start by saying how many people you are going to arrest, the entire operation should be enjoined. That’s not how anything should work.
Border agents are set to target communities in southeast Mississippi and Louisiana in a major immigration crackdown called "Swamp Sweep.”
Federal agents aim to arrest 5,000 people during the operation.

Apropos of this crap, a good friend who has been an immigration judge for years just got unceremoniously fired by email — another victim of the ongoing purges of those who believe in due process.
I am furious. Years of civil service ended by people who hate that an immigrant might win a case.

After renaming immigration judges as "deportation judges" (not what they're called by law), DHS, which acts as the prosecutor in immigration cases, is falsely claiming that people could do the job part-time "after hours"; except no, immigration courts are only open during the daytime.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.
But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.
You can’t negotiate with people like that.

The only explanation for this is that these people would disprove the administration’s narrative about the identity of the people we are murdering. I’m a little surprised they didn’t just straight-up murder these two in custody. That’s who the government is now.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has decided to repatriate two survivors of a deadly U.S. strike this week on suspected drug runners in the Caribbean Sea rather than prosecute them or hold them in military detention, people with knowledge of the matter said on Saturday.
U.S. to Repatriate Survivors of Its Strike on Suspected Drug Vessel
The U.S. military rescued the two men in the Caribbean Sea after Special Operations forces fired on a semi-submersible that was assessed to be smuggling drugs.
