The administration has launched a new initiative targeting Somali refugees in MN, but will likely expand to other refugees here as well. They’re calling it “Operation Post-Admission Refugee Re-Verification and Integrity Strengthening” (PARRIS).

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Is it just me or does it seem like the Trump administration is looking to provoke violence so that they can create the conditions for a harsh crackdown? Be careful, everyone.
