So they couldn’t even dream up something better than WMD. What a joke
It is not enough to abolish ICE. All of DHS needs to be dismantled and prosecuted. This domestic terror department has no purpose and was a mistake to create in the wake of 9/11
seriously its an issue that Dems should hammer relentlessly. The Republican base feels that pain literally every day. Recapturing even small margins in the counties most effected would result in landslide margins
Thats exactly what legitimizes it, tho. this is a circular response. If every Dem pol left X, it would very clearly be a biased source and you’d have the talking points to defend that (CSAM, nazis, etc) but because Ds won’t leave, it remains a legit source of “public” opinion.
Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.
GOLDMAN: Do you know what other regimes in the 20th century required similar proof of citizenship?
LYONS: Various nefarious regimes did that
GOLDMAN: Is Nazi Germany one?
LYONS: This is the wrong type of question
These children need to be in schools, not concentration camps. This chapter in US history is so deeply dark and sad.
NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.
Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.
What a way to earn a block
NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.
Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."
Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...
Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers in St. Paul that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.
Wrong. END ICE NOW
This week, my illegally detained neighbor -- an asylum seeker with a wife and two children -- will have a hearing that gives him a chance to get home to his family and get his asylum case back on track. But he will need to pay a $6000 bond.

Note from the editors: ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement. The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.
A note from our editors:
BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
Turns out voters aren’t keen on being murdered by secret police.
not taking sides… 🤬
"Let us go." Immigration attorney Eric Lee shares a drawing by his five-year-old client, stuck in an immigration prison.
This is very good and confirms the shooter. They need to be brought to justice immediately.
Something I think Republicans have perfected that Dems have failed miserably at is using the primary to cull out moderates. It sometimes meant that they lose the general, but those that get in are more pure. Democrats too often defer to tenure or electability then end up with a do-nothing caucus
Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽
‘some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”‘
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
How dare she? I’d like to see her repeat her wicked lies to his parent’s face while watching the video together.
They murdered Good and Pretti, a poet and a nurse, one whose last words were “I’m not mad,” another whose last act was shielding another. Because of course that’s who they killed. Everyday people.
