Radley Balko: The Democrats' demands to "reform" Trump's immigration thugs aren't reforms at all. They're already the law, the Constitution, and widely accepted police practices. And in a free society, they'd never be negotiable.

open.substack.comThe Constitution is not a bargaining chip for a budget negotiationThe Democrats demanded that Trump's immigration cops follow the law and the Constitution. The Republicans called those demands "nonstarters."

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Minnesota House DFL@mnhousedfl.bsky.social

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Good news from Minnesota....White Supremacist self destructed on multiple levels. Said he'd gotten a permit to protest at the Capitol this weekend...but (wait for it) he lied. Then he violated an ice sculpture at the Capitol and got arrested and fined. You can't make this stuff up. What a moron.🤣🥴

He has another felony on his record that rivals his Jan. 6 actions. Running for an MN state senate seat in SD 15 (Gary Dahms' seat).

I'm not saying CBS News is now a pedophile protection racket, just that it wouldn't be doing much differently if it weren't

Dear friends who are still shopping at Target and are outraged the company hasn't altered their pro ICE/Trump stance. You are now officially the problem. They have shown you who they are. They are betting you are too lazy to change. Are they right?

The Pretti family’s heartbreaking request to all of us: get the truth out about our son. Alex was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA whose last act was to protect the woman next to him. We will not let this Administration spread lies.

Noem: "An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently." Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit. Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

I am asking my fellow Republican and Democratic Governors across the nation to have a unified response. We must all stand against the lawlessness being inflicted in our states.

Masked federal agents in Minnesota just shot and killed another person. We must put a stop to Trump’s ICE. Now. Stop the funding, stop the occupations, stop the killings.

One year ago Donald Trump swore an oath to support the Constitution, but he’s used the presidency to enrich himself and his family, the New York Times' editorial board writes. Check out how Trump pocketed $1.4 billion in a single year.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Minneapolis is on day 50 of ICE operating in our streets and taking our neighbors. Report for yesterday here: The data shown in this video is collected by unpaid volunteers patrolling our communities to document ICE activity - because the truth isn’t always visible. Not every abduction goes viral.

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

Schools should be safe places for students. ICE officers are detaining educators at Minnesota high schools—causing chaos and tension in our communities. ICE needs to get off our streets and stay away from our schools.

CSail reposted

There's honestly been some pretty good news coverage tonight on TV regarding today's events. It's not a coincidence. Like half a dozen prominent Democrats finally came out this afternoon and said ICE is terrorist trash led by a secretary who should be impeached and it flipped the whole narrative.

The Department of Justice has sued 24 states and the District of Columbia for access to sensitive voter data on more than 100,000,000 Americans. My law firm has intervened on behalf of voters to fight DOJ in 23 of the 25 cases. Tomorrow we will do the same in the remaining two. Stay tuned.

With 8 Democrat Senators likely to settle for a pinky promise by Republicans on health care to reopen the government, we're gonna need a new party. Not going back to the Democrats. #nothaving it

Initial estimate for No Kings Twin Cities at 100,000! So many Minnesotans SHOWED UP to protect our communities, our country and our democracy that the 1+ mile march route looped back and found thousands hadn’t even left the starting point! 👏❌👑

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Trump keeps saying he needs to send federal agents in to protect Chicago because the Police aren't doing the job.   You know what makes it hard for our city's brave police officers to do their jobs?   Trump's agents throwing tear gas at them.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1. 9 months later, families are paying more for groceries and electricity, and soon they’ll be paying DOUBLE for health care premiums. House Republicans must report back to work and negotiate a compromise to prevent a health care crisis.
