AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

presumed authorized stay with removal order, extremely similar case to one posted below

some neighbors will help you in these times, too

"The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do...

no one needs to be perfect but we can all try to make choices that starve the companies working for the regime

wishing for more immigration reporters that could write so many stories with correct details to illuminate the labyrinth of regulations and laws that govern american immigration it has been terrible, the regime is enforcing laws that exist already and also ignoring current law. it's both/and.

subtle but relevant distinction here same thing happened with intl students and the visa is not status last year these are information, not as agreement with what's going on legality was never the point, etc.

minneapolis city council president shared this video:

I need people to understand that if you’ve dealt with ice, if you’ve had to worry about you or your kids or neighbors disappearing, if you see the govt giving nazis carte blanche to kill you, every “reform”’ from democrats who currently reject abolition sounds insane. and frankly fucking stupid

it was never about legality green card holders are generally 3-5 years away from becoming citizens if they wish to do so (yes there are requirements but the waiting is the biggest hurdle imo) the regime will make more people second class citizens, regardless of citizenship

As horrible as this is, the 70% decline from early January is the result of the bravery of the people of Minnesota

chat is it a good thing when the US Attorney representing the DOJ is also afraid of getting disappeared by the same organizations they're representing

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

NEW: "The system sucks," or what a federal lawyer's comments really tell us about the Trump admin. Julie Le's comments are shocking, but they are a problem of the Trump admin’s own making. And it goes way beyond one lawyer new to the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office. Overnight, at Law Dork:

it was never about legality

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

the regime keeps pushing the line on what's acceptable - law be damned and yeah, if those in power won't stop it, why would the regime? judicial warrants became public knowledge and now they want to undermine it

from someone who knows a little about immigration stuff but is trying really hard to educate more people this is the same charity/non profit speak from places that mostly pay ceos and don't do their stated mission lots of "impacted community members" and not a lot of material help

Marimar Martinez, the Chicago woman who survived being shot five times by a Border Patrol agent, spoke with the Sun-Times and WBEZ about her shooting, the federal government’s failed attempt to prosecute her and the role she now sees for herself in a fight for accountability.

Fed judges are getting PISSED. The levels of overt anger we are seeing in opinions is not, I think, at all usual.

Simmons had to be tasered by cops for them to arrest him. Despite being extremely violent at the scene, they somehow figured out a way to take him in alive.

NEW — Yet another “Operation: Midway Blitz” case has been thrown out of federal court. Oak Park attorney Scott Sakiyama received a petty citation in October for allegedly impeding Border Patrol agents. Magistrate Judge Heather McShain dismissed the case last month. thetriibe.com/2026/02/case...

YOU are the one who likely said nothing. Plenty of the rest of us were organizing or at least yelling about Deportations during the Obama years. In Chicago, the Moratorium on Deportations was organizing heavy.

Greetings from inside the economic blockade zones of Minneapolis and St Paul! Don’t look away, please. We need you. It’s been a month and they’re trying to destroy us.

there's video hate this line but somehow this doesn't make the news like it would for biden it's been days and nothing on the presidents mental and physical abilities? ...

Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed: “The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”

Liam and his dad Adrian are reunited and free take the wins we can get!!

Neither part is complete, yet. Of the repression machine that I feared 10 months ago, the administration has implemented to only to a midpoint. The more data they consolidate, the further we travel down this dangerous road.

Takeaway: Any time the Trump administration says "AI" or anything about software or data, what you should hear is "repression as a service" This has 2 parts: 1. AI as an excuse to consolidate data 2. AI to execute orders that humans would refuse

it's always worse than you think, jfc palantir is just improving bounty hunting software like it's going out of style

And people are getting angry about Anne Frank comparisons www.npr.org/2026/01/21/n...

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

out in the open corruption but who is gonna stop the regime?

“After Congress failed to pass immigration reform, it plowed resources into enforcement — in Obama years, we saw this as down payment on legislation to create a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. We were wrong.” Louder for all the Dems to hear. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/o...

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying. Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/l...

Just reposting this - my story this week is part of this week's cover package on Minneapolis and the rise of what we call "America's paramilitary peril." www.economist.com/united-state...

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Community activist & archivist Isaac Silver built Buttons of the Left, a project that educates people about historical movements. He gave me a tour of his in-house collection & told me how after 100+ years of radical organizing, Minnesotans got ready to resist ICE. inthesetimes.com/article/visu...

all visas are a bridge to citizenship = false but eating this frame: miller wants a white only country and is upset that there's none white people in is soil

it's my mantra for a reason, having papers won't save you because of this shit. they will change the definition of legal and come for you, too.

my mantra today and always having papers won't save you shares this sentiment. you being legal in any sense of the word won't matter when they are changing who's legal at will with vague accusations and broad definitions. today a gang member, tomorrow a parking ticket, it's all the same.

having papers won't save you

having papers won't save you

what level of dystopian are we in right now? passports around their necks in mn no one deserves to die because of their immigration status having papers won't save you as a guiding principle, out of caution and not fear

“Independent” is doing too much work in this first wave. They are arresting journalists and just like everything else they’ve done, they’re testing the limits of our resistance by starting wt vulnerable margins.

A reminder that this is how USCIS - a benefits-focused bureaucratic agency, not an enforcement agency - is recruiting for what is actually known as Immigration Service Officer position and they've rebranded is "Homeland Defender." Injecting nationalism into everything. www.usajobs.gov/job/847039500

Wild. The "witness" is a victim of racial violence. Reyes was riding his bike in Milwaukee in September 2023 when Scott approached him, kicked him off the bike, stabbed him with a box cutter, and then stole his bike. Scott was arrested and wrote letters posing as Reyes threatening to kill Trump.

the regime is now going after the press they are jailing journalists or least trying to Hannah Natanson had her devides confiscated after reporting on anonymous chats with people within the regime
