Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

Simply couldn’t imagine being enough of a loser to go to the official “wasn’t slavery neat?” dinner

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

THE SEGMENT ABOUT BLACK WOMEN'S UNEMPLOYMENT IS UP ON CBSNEWS.COM!!! Thank you @cbsmornings.bsky.social and Jericka Duncan for bringing me on! #blacksky

The Trump admin’s whole case regarding Haitians in Ohio is racism, xenophobia, and lies. There’s literally nothing else to it. Legal status, proper papers. No criminal record. Employers, neighbors, local leaders say they’re a benefit to the community. It’s showy, bigoted cruelty, nothing more.

Portland, OR., Mayor Keith Wilson: "To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame." www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

"The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived & incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children" "for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power & the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds" LORD

Endless cruelty. Any pretext will do.

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

After brutally arresting Aliya Rahman, an autistic, disabled woman, in Minneapolis, ICE agents told her that "this wouldn’t have happened if I was a ‘normal’ human being." https://bit.ly/3ZHX3IC

“We had to deliver them to a detention center,” principal Jason Kuhlman said about the second grader and fifth grader.

I’ve been really moved by the works that fiber artists are making in response to ICE killings www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We’re just not a free country. Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

1/ NEW: @propublica.org has obtained a search warrant that the FBI is executing for records related to the contested 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga., which has not yet been widely shared. It’s an extraordinary document. Link: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

Omg! Local San Antonio news is at a protest in Dilley, Texas at the Family Prison where Liam Ramos is being held. Y'all I'm crying so hard. These young people are so brave. I'm guessing most are from San Antonio. Absolutely clear video proof that the cops were the only violent actors here.

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Absolutely terrific post by @lukefarrell.bsky.social . It’s shocking, wasteful, and pernicious how much our government relies on private contractors to perform the state function of administering public services. Great proposals here. lpeproject.org/blog/the-mea...

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

ICE has been authorizing officers to forcibly enter homes without judicial warrants—a reversal of longstanding guidance to protect people's constitutional rights. Senior reporter @samanthamichaels.bsky.social spoke with a family in Memphis that experienced this.

👀 Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appeal personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force. @chicago.suntimes.com story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports

NEW: Challenging the "unprecedented" Operation Metro Surge — as the ground shifts by the hour A morning hearing over Minnesota's lawsuit, an alarming Eighth Circuit afternoon order, and news that Bovino is set to leave town. Today, at Law Dork:

A hearing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) on the state of Minnesota's request to halt the ICE surge in the Twin Cities. I'm covering the proceedings remotely. From the state's memo: buff.ly/ub2bHso

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

H/T @mollyploofkins.bsky.social

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.

I can't be here right now because my words are not safe for the public. Leaving this here, going to go donate and check on my friends. www.standwithminnesota.com

Woman tells Minnesota Public Radio that the man killed today was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather and "next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/live-updates....

I'm on site where a federal agent shot a Minneapolis man this morning. It's bad. Dozens of federal agents are facing off with hundreds of outraged residents. People being tear gassed, helicopters above, I keep hearing pops, and lots of loud BANGS. This smoke is from tear gas:

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

Star Tribune is reporting this as well now, multiple shots in the chest.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

🚨🚨🚨 "At least 63 times since 2007, data from some of the 28 human genomic repositories that the N.I.H. controls was improperly released to researchers, used for unapproved purposes or made vulnerable to theft..." (Gift Link) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

California has become the first US state to join the WHO Disease Network after the Trump regime withdrew the US from WHO to pursue its disease eugenics health policy.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

All three people arrested by the feds in connection with the protest at the ICE pastor's church — Nekima Levy-Armstrong, Chauntyll Allen, and William Kelly — have now been ordered released. Judge's order as to the first two: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
