Congressional Democrats: what would you do if Hitler had seized control of the US government?
DO THAT. BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING.

Dear press, it's long past time to stop calling this an immigration crackdown. It's a Federal Government directed terror campaign.

From Diana Brickell on Bsky:
"Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild."

As a result, key forensic #evidence was almost certainly lost. This comes after state officials were excluded from the investigation into #ReneeGood’s death.
#Federal #obstruction of #Minnesota’s #criminal investigation merits more creative pushback from the #state: Leaving investigations in the hands of #DHS alone sends a powerful message to #ICE officers.

American citizens have been brutalized, pepper-sprayed, & killed on the streets of #Minneapolis. For many, one particular breakdown is a final, damning cause for despair: Minnesota’s apparent inability to investigate & potentially prosecute the #FederalAgents responsible. The #DHS on Saturday reportedly blocked #Minnesota officials from examining the scene of #AlexPretti’s #shooting. Access was refused even after #state officials got a #judicial search #warrant.

"Disasters, unfortunately, are not mitigated by ideological experiments, management theories, or last-minute political theater. Responding to a massive storm requires competence, people power, and foresight—qualities in short supply in the Trump administration, where agencies are run as if government itself is the enemy."
Noting that with the fierce winter storm that just swept through wide swathes of the US, Cliff Schecter writes,
"The United States is now facing a winter storm of almost biblical proportions. ...
Today, under Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, FEMA resembles less a rescue agency than a badly managed charity raffle staffed by ghosts."

"Officials told CBS News that there was no documented chain of custody for Pretti’s gun, raising the question of whether evidence has been improperly handled (or footage erased)."

"Because it fits their narrative. It allows them to say what they want to say. It allows them to feel like they're big boys and they're flexing. They're cowards. They're disgusting. They're scumbags. Anyone still supporting Donald Trump and ICE at this point in the game is an absolute piece of human garbage. And I will not take it back. I don't care how closely you're related to me."

"They [i.e. MAGA] know what they're seeing [in video footage of Alex Pretti's murder]. They can see it plain as day, too. They do not care. And they will drag a good man in his name. And they'll sit back and cheer Donald Trump as he drags a good man in his name. Why?"

"I never would have expected that so many Americans would be just fine with a poorly trained but well-equipped paramilitary force operating under the aegis of a rogue administration – discarding due process, engaging in racial profiling, dragging people out of cars and homes by their hair, and killing those who object."

Liam & his dad were taken across the country to the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas — an #ICE #detention facility [#ConcentrationCamp] for families.

#DHS claimed Liam’s father is an “illegal alien” from Ecuador & said agents took the boy with them after the father said he wanted Liam to stay with him.
But an attorney for Liam’s family said Conejo committed no crimes & followed “all the established protocols” for legally seeking #asylum in the #US, including “showing up for their court hearings.”

"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."

"'Meaning, trying to identify them via social media, running their license plates if available, and running a criminal history check,' the official explained.
The directive is part of a sweeping, nationwide effort by U.S. immigration authorities to identify anyone and everyone trying to film their conduct."

"The Department of Homeland Security has ordered immigration officers to gather identifying information about anyone filming them and to 'send that information to Intel who will do a ‘work-up’ on them,' a federal law enforcement official directly involved tells me."

"Now the visible targets of border enforcement are increasingly immigrants who have built their lives in the U.S. – neighbors, friends, co-workers – as well as anyone who opposes ICE’s tactics, like Renee Good."

"But Trump during his second presidency has greatly shifted immigration enforcement north into the interior of the U.S. And ICE has played a central role. ...
Americans may not know about the experiences of migrants who are quickly deported near the border, but it is harder to ignore recent images of people snatched up within their own neighborhoods."

"From 2010-2020, nearly 80% of all deportations were initiated at or near the U.S.-Mexico border. During the COVID-19 pandemic, that number jumped to 98%, as both the Trump and Biden administrations utilized Title 42, a public health statute that allowed the government to rapidly deport recently arrived migrants."

"Trump is privately frustrated that chaotic scenes and protests in Minnesota are undermining his immigration message, with aides scrambling to shift focus from clashes and a fatal ICE shooting to highlighting arrests of alleged criminals, even as polling shows growing public concern that ICE tactics have gone too far and risks mounting political fallout ahead of the midterms."

"Donald Trump has built what his first term only suggested-an interconnected infrastructure of fear aimed at mixed‑status families and immigrant‑heavy cities. It is not just hundreds of thousands of deportations with a goal of millions; it is the way government has been remade so that daily life itself is risky."

Rupar:
"Obviously we've had natural disasters, we've had, you know, different sorts of tragedies that have befallen communities, but when you're targeted by the government that is supposed to represent you for kind of pretextual reasons that are obviously very political in nature… It's a really, it's just really surreal to live through that.
