Burcum: Target Medicaid fraud, not innocent people’s health care "Medicaid serves a highly vulnerable population with few alternatives for coverage," columnist Jill Burcum writes.

“Federal officials ought to be working with the state to put fraudsters in jail, not imposing financial penalties on it that could undermine enrollees’ medical care or destabilize the state’s hospitals and nursing homes.” Thx @jburcom for clear insight!

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.

Federal judge bars ICE from retaliating against protesters in Minnesota Six U.S. citizens who had encounters with ICE sued, seeking to rein in the agency's tactics.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez:

-barred ICE from arresting or pepper spraying people for simply observing or criticizing the federal government's action

-ruled that safely following ICE vehicles does not on its own justify a traffic stop
