“Yes,” said Toad. “I will go behind these rocks and put on my bathing suit.”

The continued detention of 5‑year‑old Liam Ramos is a moral failure of staggering proportions. We’re watching a government justify the unjustifiable: the incarceration of a child who poses no threat to anyone.
We cannot normalize this. We cannot shrug. We cannot scroll past it.
Demand his release.

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Folks need to understand that at current rates it will take ICE 11+ years of this kind of sustained activity to remove all the undocumented immigrants in the US. That what Trump-Vance-Miller are doing is putting into place is a permanent national terror force that will last for at least a decade.
Cathy Young: “It has become clear that Donald Trump’s mass-deportation regime cannot be sustained without a repressive state machinery that endangers the lives and tramples the rights of legal residents and citizens of the United States, just as critics had been warning.”
MAGA’s ‘Omelet’ Excuse for DHS Thuggishness
They admit that mass deportation is impossible without egregious abuses—but want it to go ahead anyway.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

Why are witnesses in federal detention?
The StarTribune live blog is paywall free:
- The man shot by federal agents this morning has died
- Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building.
- ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said.

Per his colleagues: The victim’s name was apparently Alex Pretti and he was an ICU nurse caring for severely injured veterans at the VA Hospital. He was acting as an observer, filming the raid. Any suggestion that he was there with violence on his mind is horrific gaslighting.
