By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homanâs strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. Theyâre being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers. Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now:

Louansee Moua says ICE agents came to her brother-in-lawâs apartment, handcuffed him and forced him outside in freezing weather in boxers. She says Saly, a U.S. citizen, was released after they realized âhe had no criminal history and no reason to be detained.â Photo by Reuters

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people." Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

You could loudly make immigration rules that sounded incredibly tough, with forms and checks and all the rest and it would still be a huge liberalization of immigration.
