Venezuelan family seeking asylum -- entered legally, both parents with college degrees -- took their 7-year-old to the ER for a nosebleed and fever. ICE, which is now targeting hospitals as well as churches schools, blocked the child from getting care and detained them instead

WaPo vid of masked ICE in Biddeford, Maine, telling a man if he doesn't come out of the house they'll take his whole family away. This weird awful moment before they go straight to kicking down doors--I think that's coming--but have already leapt ahead to taking vengeance on families.

You can follow all the rules, jump through every hoop, be the perfect immigrant, and the goons are still going to come for you.

incredible work by the Forward who found the one Jew in Greenland so they could work the Jewish angle on the Greenland story (spoiler alert: he does not want Trump to take over Greenland)

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

I just had a Somali Grandma [respectfully] stop in the middle of the road and ask if I needed a ride because it’s so cold. She doesn’t know me, she just cares. There is so much love here it’s overwhelming sometimes. Don’t cry in these temps ya’ll.

Watching out for ICE.

The FBI Has Gained Access to the Washington Post Newsroom

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.

"...he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them." "...no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust...shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title...from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

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

You’re arresting terrified children and using them as bait. Arresting kids getting treatment at doctors’ offices. Blinding protesters. Illegally raiding homes. Making people terrified to leave their homes. You want to pee in peace? Quit your fucking job.

This sociopath belongs in prison.

There’s no point during the detention of a five-year-old that any person with a functioning moral center would not step back to reassess the situation and their place in it. That nobody involved did proves they lack the common interiority required to successfully coexist in ordered society.

kidnapping a 5 year old to bait his father and then shipping them thousands of miles away should put you in prison, yes, but it should also cause every friend and family member you have ever had to permanently reject you in disgrace, and if they don’t, they share your shame

Read this thread.

Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

They clearly believed that Minneapolis would riot after they killed one of us. We didn’t, we organized. We followed them, we monitored them. We alerted our neighbors. We fought them in the courts. And now they’re desperate, so they’re brutalizing us, without a hint of legitimate government purpose.

"School district officials in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, say their sense of security is shaken and their hearts shattered after four students from the district have recently been taken by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

ICE should be dismantled immediately.  I will not support funding for the Department of Homeland Security when ICE and Border Patrol agents are assaulting protestors, detaining and arresting people with impunity, inciting violence, and shooting and killing American citizens.  Read my statement:

If you’re on the ground, it is absolutely unmistakable what they’re doing. Bovino has gone to multiple gas stations, with a massive convoy, gotten out of the car, and strolled into the street and posed for ten minutes at a time. No gas, no food, no bathroom. Just over and over in sequence.

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."

A 5 year old is practically a baby. He probably can't communicate completely clearly. He very well may need to wear pull-ups at night, he may still be taking naps, he probably needs help getting dressed, and might not be independent in the bathroom yet. It's child abuse, plain and simple

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

In France, schools often have a poignant plaque on the wall near their entrance recounting how many students were kidnapped by the Nazis from that school during the occupation. Four students have been taken from this Minnesota school district.

Just running into restaurants, gun drawn.

Your home is no longer your castle.

i’m going to say this every time but these are just normal ass neighborhoods where normal ass families live and they are treating them like goddamn war zones filled with enemy combatants

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

Gettin' a little sick of the "they're just doing what police have always done!" takes, as if we're too all stupid to see that this is something wildly different and exponentially more destabilizing.

Call me old-fashioned, but maybe a system that rewards the worst of humanity with incomprehensible levels of wealth and power and the ability to crush everyone and everything else... wasn't the best idea.

Amazing how when you lower speeds you kill less humans and other creatures.

American aviation authorities have issued an alert about military activities above Mexico and Central America.

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia. It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

The federal government Friday agreed to pay $125,000 after a judge found a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent liable for civil assault for pointing a gun at a hotel maintenance man who came to the agent’s room to unclog a toilet.

Alpha News is a far-right site run by the wife of the former head of the Minneapolis police union. Whoever leaked this to them thinks it makes Ross look good. Which is just astonishing.

America is already great.

He needs to be called to repentance.

My wife, a Minneapolis native, reminding me it's dead of night in Minnesota in January, below freezing, and there's thousands of people outside

The Trump Admin continues to lie about ICE's killing of a 37-year-old mom — claiming she engaged in ‘domestic terrorism.” They have given ICE a massive budget and allowed them to act with impunity. I cannot & will NOT support any funding for Trump’s ICE’s operations.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

ICE orphaned a five year old today

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret. But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
