"A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol employee was charged with drunken driving in St. Paul after a state trooper found him passed out in a car Tuesday morning 'covered in vomit.'"

Walz seems pretty chill considering Venezuela was a decapitation strike

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history. “There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” My latest: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

Wow. The county is charging the Ilhan Omar attacker even though the feds are also doing that, because they don't trust Trump to not pardon the guy.

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

MELANIA has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography in the FIFA Oscars

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Meanwhile, don't sleep on this not-normal-in-any-universe picture of DNI Tulsi Gabbard in Fulton County, abetting Trump's "investigation" of the 2020 election.

It’s so heavy when you are going to get groceries and you find a car sitting with its windows broken out and it’s empty but still running and someone’s stuffed animals or pictures or papers are just laying all over the road. I have personally seen at least five of these in the last three days alone

"They are trying to control a narrative from the very start, and they don't seem to care when they're proven wrong," said David Lapan, who was the DHS press secretary in 2017, during Trump's first administration. www.reuters.com/world/us/evi...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal immigration officers tried to enter Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis but were stopped, foreign minister says www.axios.com/2026/01/28/i...

CNN is reporting that federal authorities may have been collecting information and "documenting details" about Alex Pretti before killing him on Saturday, and that officers tackled him a week earlier. www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

The Supreme Court could soon greenlight "geofence" data without a warrant. That would allow the government to collect reams of location data on everyone, including journalists and whistleblowers. Watch @trevortimm.bsky.social explain the implications:

The @chicago.suntimes.com has now posted a public tracker of federal criminal cases tied to Operation Midway Blitz, with a small update: We've now tied 32 defendants to the campaign. The bottom line remains: 15 cleared and no one convicted, so far: chicago.suntimes.com/2026/tracker...

Mayor Karen Bass held a town hall in Nov. to take questions from community members about the ongoing ICE raids and LAPD's violent response to the summer's protests. The town hall was recorded but never released. I got a copy, but the city says I can't excerpt it. www.joeyscott.xyz/please-dont-...

Scoop: Police have recently been ordered to be "as vague as permissible" in the Flock system about the searches they do in a message shared with several major police departments around the country by the FBI. Actively avoiding transparency is now the strategy: www.404media.co/police-told-...

American approval of U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration policy fell to its lowest level since his return to the White House in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, with a majority of Americans saying his crackdown on immigration has gone too far. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

No one wants to see these videos; and you don't HAVE to look. But we need to know what is happening - for many reasons: www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

A "subject profile" of Öztürk that was prepared "for/in collaboration with HSI Office of Intelligence" cites her profile on the Israeli-based website Canary Mission on the third page. It also includes her op-ed.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy. Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

South Carolina wants to rewrite obscenity law to criminalize "profane" language and gestures. Bill 4123 would require age-verification to access Netflix, music videos, Judy Blume, Michelangelo's David and anything that might possibly be boner inducing. www.scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025...

Interesting choice of analogy.

Below is our story about the skyrocketing number of kids detained by ICE. We cover the facility where Liam is now being held-- parents said food had worms and mold, and kids were so distressed they hit themselves in the face and wet themselves. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/12/17/c...

Four attorneys said they have been denied access to their clients at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, where they are being held, which they say would violate 5th and 6th Amendment rights to due process and the right to consult with counsel. abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-a...

“John Abernathy, a photographer from Minneapolis, was flat on the ground. He had the knees of at least one federal officer on his back…. He was surrounded by dozens of officers deploying something ― tear gas, he thinks ― that made it hard to see or breathe. He felt like he could puke or pass out.”

“The federal government abducted a kid and used him as bait to try to lure out his parents, who are in the country legally, so they can be detained without charges and sent to Texas” Think about how ridiculous that sounds to someone who hasn’t been paying attention. It sounds like I made it up!
