The Raygoza case in LA is important bc it's an attempt to criminalize observation. DOJ dropped doxing charge but not conspiracy, then added stalking. Here's how Raygoza is attempting to make stalking case go away.

I'm more confident that we're going to win than I felt a couple of days ago. We'll know we held together, cared for each other, were strong, joyous, and bonded.
But if/when we do win, this will all stay with us. It's burned in. We won't be back to how it was before. We'll adjust to the new reality.

As a Minnesotan who has dedicated his career to mental health issues, it's really hitting me that I'll be dealing with the ICE occupation for as long as I'm both a Minnesotan and a mental health person.
It's trauma for our community.
Most of us will survive. But we'll be forever changed.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.
He thought he was going to die.
Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.
And a mob of agents killed him.

There has only been one other homicide in Minneapolis this year. That means ICE/CBP agents have inflicted 66% of the homicides so far.
Trump: "Minnesota, and in particular Minneapolis -- because it's not all of Minnesota -- every city that we've gone to literally crime has gone down 50, 60, 70, 80, in Washington it has gone down to practically no crime ... it's down in Minneapolis very much" (DHS has killed 2 people here)
