Trump to the Board of Peace: "We have peace in the Middle East. Nobody thought that was possible. We've settled 8 wars, and I believe another one is coming pretty soon. And you know what that is. The one that I thought was gonna be a easy one."

1/The law requires a judicial warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge to enter a home or private area in a biz (not an administrative one signed by an “immigration authority” ie a DHS employee). This is clearly unlawful conduct. ICE can’t change the law just because it doesn’t like it.

Not only did Trump want to make this guy AG, but Matty Gaetz played a key role in the pardon of former president of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernandez.

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

This is a whole thread of FUCK YEAH, MINNESOTA! Things are terrifying and awful, but the steel fucking cojones and resolve of Minnesotans will be written about in history books.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Today I talked with a 76 year old who'd been standing in the cold for hours guarding her neighbors. I was getting kind of chilly, even in the new winter gear i bought for this trip (and I live in the goddam mountains myself). She didn't even have a hat on.

The Bald Eagle has religious significance in Indigenous communities, but it's…less common in Christianity. And it's usually not about *seeing* one. I saw a Bald Eagle today on the way to the airport. That's not super uncommon: Their range is almost the entire continental U.S. and most of Alaska.

The assault on Minnesota is insane. apnews.com/article/boun...

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Ben Luhmann, who filmed this, is one of the two high schoolers from a conservative Christian family I rode along with in Chicago when they were searching for ICE agents there. When I asked him how his faith informed his efforts to document ICE/DHS, he told me this. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

His name was Geraldo Lunas Campos. If you pay taxes in the US, you paid 4 ICE officers to hold him down while a 5th choked him to death. This murder is more likely to be justified as a natural consequence of being a "criminal alien" than to be prosecuted. We are hurtling quickly down a dark path.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

That’s my city councilmember @jchavezmpls.bsky.social who Bovino threw the canister at. To be explicitly clear, ICE is throwing tear gas and weapons of war at elected officials.

An instantly iconic video.

Minnesota is defining the power of nonviolent resistance against a militarized force that is incentivized to do harm.

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.

This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence. This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

In a sign of how explosive ICE knew this secret memo would be, one whistleblower says he was only allowed to read the memo and was barred from taking written notes, and warned that employees had been punished for disagreeing. At least one ICE instructor resigned rather than teach the illegal memo!

at the chaotic aftermath of yet another apprehension on the streets of Minneapolis by federal agents. they left the car in the middle of the street with all of the person’s belongings inside.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

ICE is getting down to some real foundational evil here. Accepting someone’s hospitality and then brutalizing them. Snatching babies.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

state-sponsored child trafficking

To the judge who lifted the stay on the ability of ICE to brutalize local populations: shame on you.

Crazy, out of control, but w/ a corrupt DOJ as the next step, 100% dangerous: House Oversight Committee votes to hold Clintons in contempt in Epstein investigation. Speaker Johnson already has said he supports. We are really very very far upriver here.

if anything, i suspect officers on the ground may be hesitant to rely on this because of the timeline — the whistleblower complaint specifies officers in texas having relied on it only because texas courts are friendly to them

How it started How it's going

Almost can't believe that they're just putting this stuff in writing in addition to just doing it like most cops that break the law.

They are 💯 getting this ready now. We MUST be three steps ahead.

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

ICE chasing someone carrying a small child. I can't express how angry this makes me.

Unconscionable. I’m sure we’ll be reminded this is “routine” and “procedural” when someone is inevitably maimed or killed.

It fucking sucks - but it is hard to overstate how proud I am to be a Minnesotan right now. You aren't going to beat us at hand warmers, wool socks, and patience.

The Democrats should shut down the government on this sentence alone.

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

The right move. And an excellent, forceful statement: "We have asked the court to order the immediate return of all seized materials and prevent their use. Anything less would license future newsroom raids and normalize censorship by search warrant.” wapo.st/4jUxQEe

It's significant that Stephen Miller, who gives Trump the words to express his bigotry, is all but explicitly calling back to the very worst, the most discredited, racist writings in our history. They really think this. It. Is. Evil. [Screenshot of my own post so I get the repost in there.]

I've been saying to friends for a few months that the more I study authoritarianism in other countries, the more concerned I become that the CBS story is the sleeping giant here. The process has been a simmer (people inside the network have spoken out in real-time) but don't mistake slow for safe.

How do you think you’ll feel when the paramilitary drives by your kid’s elementary school in a show of force? I hope you never have to find out.
