This has since been updated to note that 6 federal prosecutors (so far) have resigned from this Minnesota office. Including the guy doing the fraud investigation

They are unlawfully detaining people for First Amendment protected activities, as far as I can tell. Dragging people out of their vehicles absent witnessing a crime and without a judicial warrant is repugnant to our constitutional order.

Warning: I haven’t listened to the interviews. Others who have posted that they’re very hard to hear and some became physically ill. Richard is correct here, and I wonder if Vlad also knows.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Note this: ICE agents are already used to acting with little oversight as their targets are powerless. Now with Trump, Noem, Vance saying Renee Good's killing was okay they'll think they have full impunity. On the pod, @timdickinson.bsky.social explains this so well: newrepublic.com/article/2052...

ICE detained nearly 70 children in Alabama between Sept. 2023 & Sept. 2025. “The youngest child arrested, in November 2023, was about two-years-old, a boy from Mexico.” Make America Great Again & all that. www.al.com/news/2026/01...

🤨 Russia has launched a new “rescue” ship. But experts and investigators told The Moscow Times its true mission may be far more secretive than officially claimed. 🔗 united24media.com/latest-news/...

A better effect of the ICE & CBP invasion of Minnesota is that the press is here in force. That pratfall the idiot ICE guy took was not only recorded from several angles by regular people with cellphones, the guy he was chasing is Christopher Katsarov, a Canadian photojournalist who got this shot:

And they told you creeping shariah would be your undoing.

“Improper ideology”

Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon decided not to have the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division open an investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. A step federal civil rights prosecutors have always taken in officer-involved killings. 

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

ICE literally did not exist in the past. It can be undone.

@andyostroy.bsky.social and I go deep into Renee Good’s killing at the hands of ICE and why justice in this case won’t come from the federal government, but might from the state of Minnesota.

A U.S. citizen legally observed ICE activity from a distance. He didn’t interfere, block agents, or make contact. An ICE agent still threatened lethal force and referenced a recent killing. That’s retaliation for protected speech—and it’s illegal. Caught on video. #sheshed

A WSJ investigation found that ICE agents have fired at or into civilian vehicles at least 13 times since last July, leaving 8 people shot and 2 dead.

We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country. They are today’s Alabama State Troopers at the Selma bridge. They are Bull Connor’s police with firehoses in Birmingham.

35 years ago, Soviet forces killed 14 civilians and injured hundreds of peaceful protesters in Vilnius, Lithuania. The events in Vilnius, as well as in Baku and Tbilisi, show that the collapse of the Soviet Union was not without bloodshed; the claim of a “peaceful dissolution” is disinformation.

@skynewsrss.bsky.social reports on the escalating crisis in Iran as the death toll reportedly surpasses 12,000. Amid a total internet blackout and door-to-door raids, the regime is using "unprecedented" force to crush the uprising. #Iran #IranProtests

A report by @iraninternational.bsky.social reveals a staggering toll: at least 12,000 killed in a brutal crackdown on protests in Iran, ordered by the highest levels of power amid a deepening communication blackout. #Iran #HumanRights #IranProtests #FreeIran www.iranintl.com/en/202601130...

According to Iran International, Iran has entered a state of organized blackout aimed not only at security control but at concealing the truth about a historic crime.

If they can do it to Venezuela, they can do it to Russia. Closing off Russia’s shadow fleet oil revenue, and starting to seize Russia’s frozen assets for Ukraine, would bring Putin to the table pronto.

Good thread about how data has been locked down and researchers locked out of social media platforms, and how the current U.S. government protects Musk, X, and others from transparency regulations passed by other countries and the EU. Our team is definitely feeling the pain of lost data access.

Oh there's a quick little tool here to run license plate #s and see if the vehicle's been flagged as used by ICE. And/or report the LPNs for vehicles involved in ICE activity.
