Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

The goal of Tom Homan switching out for Gregory Bovino is purely optics and damage control. It's not actually a change in their tactics of intimidation and indiscriminate apprehension.

While Tom Homan was trying to grab headlines this morning ICE was again circling our schools. They’ve been out all morning and no “drawdown” is enough until every single one of these agents is out of our state and DHS is abolished.

They’re taking 700 out and leaving 2000 here, which is what they started with.
And if you’ll recall, that 2000 number was unprecedented as the largest “immigration” operation ever undertaken.
So we’re very much still in historic occupation territory, folks. Don’t let your guard down.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.
"Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

This is some excellent reporting, and a really great interactive format as well. History won't forget who stood up and who put up a thin veil over their bootlicking.
Where do Minnesota Republicans stand on immigration and the Good and Pretti killings? Sahan asked all 112 Republicans in the Legislature, gubernatorial race and Congress.

@schumer.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov - glad to see no advancing of DHS funding so far. What specifically are you going to demand that prevents my neighbors from being abducted? What are you doing about ICE openly defying nearly 100 court orders just this year?
Minnesota’s chief federal judge canceled a contempt hearing ordering the Trump administration’s acting ICE director to appear in court.
The judge canceled the hearing after ICE fulfilled the court’s requirement to release a man who was previously found to be unjustly detained.

U.S. Chief District Judge Patrick Schiltz had more sharp words for ICE in his order canceling a hearing requiring the agency’s director to appear.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.
