The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold. As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

Who are the Venezuelan immigrants Trump sent to CECOT? Last July, we published a first-of-its-kind, case-by-case accounting of 238 Venezuelan men who were held in El Salvador. These are their stories.

If ICE had anything to do with enforcing the law, they wouldn't be breaking our laws, attacking the innocent, letting people die, or be taking trophy photos of their victims.

Cowardly ICE thugs attack people exercising their 1st amendment rights. Waiting for them to attack people exercising their 2nd amendment rights. Where is that mythical “good guy with a gun”? There’s always a coward with a gun ready to kill. Never a hero with a gun ready to protect.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

That's a lot of words to obscure the facts: Dhillon and DOJ are 0-2. Elias Law Group is 2-0.

The president always, uniformly, does what’s best for Russia.

I think it’s really important for European governments and heads of state to keep making all of Trump’s unhinged utterances public. Put it all out there for the world to see.

It's bizarre that some politicians are trying to behave as if the US president were sane, or capable of reason or moral judgement.

Politicians & some media outlets have latched onto a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented, are causing spikes in crime. Research does not support the view. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to native-born Americans.

I'm gonna just keep reposting this whenever I see it. Still true.

Scientists are worried about the melting of Antarctica's ice sheets and what it could mean for sea levels. There's a two-month-long journey underway to conduct research that will better explain what's happening. https://to.pbs.org/45WdVPh

Time to put grandpa in a home I’m sorry GOP

What have we become???? If you believe a child deserves this, you are an evil monster.

A month after the Epstein files deadline, only a fraction of DOJ records have been released. Does no one have the power to confront this obstruction of justice or are we to be “ok” with the fact we now are ruled by a dictator.

NEW: On heading into year two of the second Trump administration, and the necessity of pushback. The Minnesota pushback to "Operation Metro Surge" shows the power that the people maintain in the face of Trump's authoritarianism. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

In the lawsuit requiring ICE to provide access, the Trump admin made rumbles about raising this argument. Looks like they’re leaning in. I find it very difficult to believe that they have perfectly avoided commingling funds in the custody operations account.

Two weeks ago, I published this story featuring dire warnings from experts including two former presidents of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. I think this story is essential context for these kinds of pieces. www.importantcontext.news/p/experts-wa...

I'll be walking out. Join in.

I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

Read this.

First, why are they counting "verbal assaults" which are just protected free speech? Is someone actually counting every time someone says, "Fuck ICE?" Seriously? Second, what exactly do they consider criminal aliens? And if 70% are "criminal," does that mean 30% of arrests are innocent people?

The worst politicians in America are about to quote Martin Luther King Jr. You can’t quote “I have a dream” on MLK Day then legislate against that dream every other day of the year.

NEW: Today's Breakdown on @meidastouch.com if you missed it. I cover the law enforcement transcripts proving Jonathan Ross wasn't injured, nor was he transported to the hospital after he murdered Good. Plus, the obvious pretext to invoke the Insurrection Act. www.muellershewrote.com/p/transcript...

We have become a country where a person can be publically executed for protesting that paramilitary force. After an ICE agent killed Renee Good by shooting her 3x at point-blank range in Minneapolis Trump, Vance & other federal officials said the shooting was justified as an act of self-defense

Every, and I mean EVERY shooting by a law enforcement or government official is investigated. Without question. So please tell me..., why is this one any different?

ICE violently abducted a teenage worker from an Anaheim car wash today, turning their aggression on legal observers and community members who stood in their way. This is a direct assault on our neighbors. (1/18/26)

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.
