"Since Trump began his second term, at least 31 out of the 64 lawyers at the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office quit or retired...wip[ing] out nearly half of the office’s criminal and civil teams and most of its top managers. Five administrators also quit." www.startribune.com/inside-the-u...

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents. Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress. Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg. My report:

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

we should all just call them Abolish ICE. becuse that's what the winner would've actually been.

Very chill. Very cool. Not at all insane.

“On Feb. 4 — the day border czar Tom Homan announced a ‘drawdown’ of 700 agents — Lewis said ICE agents posed as journalists outside a Fridley school wearing bright orange bands on their arms reading ‘press.’” “‘They were yelling and screaming at our staff, yelling and screaming at parents’”

My uncle, Diego, was kidnapped and deported by ICE as he was delivering pizza in December. He had a work visa and was the co-owner of American Pie. This go fund me will go towards helping bring him back home, legal fees, rent and necessities, and support for the small business. gofund.me/d5a332ee9

St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?

53 year old father of three who’d lived in the US for 30 years dies of pneumonia in Mexico shortly after he was apprehended and deported by ICE. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

As a historian of Christianity let me tell you that Christians throughout history have absolutely loved persecuting other Christians. There is no period in which this isn’t true BUT also note that the opposite is also true! There’s no period in history where care for the stranger was absent

I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office. ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for. We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.

Josmar Soza’s father has been in ICE custody since December 3, 2025 after he was kidnapped in MN. He was on his way to work and now his children are without a father. The funds will help pay for lawyer fees and family necessities. gofund.me/e9ef8b8a9

Tell you what I’m OVER: The patronizing framing of feature stories marveling at how moms are throwing down right now for their communities. Come on. They’re constantly doing this emotional labor, planning, and work. It is not a stretch to assume their *skills* can be put to use on a larger scale.

Pro-bono lawyers are increasingly difficult to find, and our group of neighbors is working to raise the funds by her due date, Feb 25. If we can raise at least $8K by then, she has a fighting chance of living a life free of fear and staying in the U.S. with her family.

Like you, I’ve been contributing to others’ efforts to fundraise for their neighbors’ survival. Now I’m asking you to help my own neighbor. She’s trying to fight removal proceedings and reopen her asylum case, and needs $ for legal costs—$3,035 of $8K raised so far. VM: @wentrogue Subj: ⚖️

Amazing numbers for activism in Minnesota Q: "Since December, have you participated in any neighborhood group discussions, either in-person, by phone, or online, in response to federal law enforcement activity in your area?" Minneapolis/St Paul, 49% said yes www.startribune.com/poll-results...

Please read Freddy’s story on the Sahan Journal and then contribute to his go fund me. He needs our support with rent, legal fees, and livability concerns after being kidnapped for a month. gofund.me/3b46540f0

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

And the antisemite they're trying to put in the State Department right now jewishinsider.com/2025/12/jere...

There's also their garden-variety antisemitism www.npr.org/2025/05/14/n...

Bondi is just following in the footsteps of her boss, who has been calling Chuck Schumer a "Palestinian" for daring to slightly disagree with some policies of the current Israeli government. It's pure antisemitism.

in a text string after the shooting, a fellow agent told Exum he's a "legend" "Beers on me"

NEW: Federal judges are increasingly furious at what they see as a pattern / playbook of defiance by the Trump administration to court orders in immigration cases — in Minnesota and around the country. Here’s a look at what they’re seeing: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Glad this story is getting told. Metro Surge is an economic blockade against the entire metro and state.

ICE officials, under a judge’s order to clean up overcrowded and squalid conditions inside holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a separate floor where they decided the the ruling didn't apply. The revelation comes in a hearing today: www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/09/2...

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way. The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

My neighborhood school collectively fundraised over $100,000 to support our neighbors with rent and bills this last month. Now we need to do it all over again for March. PLEASE HELP! Every family we're working to keep housed & fed has elementary aged children. gofund.me/aac122499

I’m so grateful for all of you feeding people in crisis; we‘re fighting monsters, and we won’t stop fighting them

Yes. Ring cameras are ICE cameras.

Bad Bunny’s beautiful and joyful portrayal of Puerto Rico stands on the shoulders of Kendrick Lamar’s love letter to Compton last year. Watching the biggest performance in the world become a representation of real people in real, American places is beautiful. #SuperBowl

JD Vance getting booed, as called around the world (auto transcribed & translated, mostly):

Two cases of tuberculosis detected at El Paso ICE facility. Eighteen cases of COVID-19 were also identified. U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar on Friday visited the 5,000-bed tent facility on the Fort Bliss Army base and said she saw many "chronic issues."
