Yep. As I’ve pointed out before, ICE is younger than Leo DiCaprio’s girlfriends. It’s not some ancient part of the US constitutional establishment.

Inhumane, abominable, horrific! 😡

The propagandists are shifting into high gear. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...
Here’s what to know about a viral YouTube video about fraud in Minnesota
University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley says the new viral video is flashy, but absent of facts to back up its claims — and its lack of transparency could be considered deceptive.

This quiet agreement and apathy also kept "good Germans" quiet during the atrocities of the Holocaust and Americans quiet during the round up of Japanese Americans. We can't let it happen again. Somalis in MN are largely legal, but they are being terrorized for 1) color, 2) religion, and ) politics.
What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
