This is important and, also, not not new. There were reports of this in LA, Portland, and Chicago, at least, as well.
Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

TAPPER: You called Renee Good a "domestic terrorist." Why did you not wait for an investigation?

NOEM: Everything I've said has been proven to be factual and the truth. This administration wants to operate in transparency.

The day after Renee Nicole Good’s death, Kristi Noem quietly ordered new restrictions on congressional visits to immigration detention facilities.

That order, revealed in court late Saturday, forces lawmakers to seek a week's advance notice before conducting oversight visits to ICE facilities.

More from the party of federalism: "the states are merely an agent for the federal government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the federal government, as represented by the president of the United States, tells them, for the good of the country, to do."

NEW: House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena journalist Seth Harp for identifying a person he claims is the Delta Force commander who oversaw the operation in Venezuela.

Press freedom watchers say the action flouts the First Amendment.

He uses the phrase "to my eyes" as though it's some sort of preliminary exonerative subjectification of the facts. That kind of anticipatory shielding betrays what he really knows to be true.
Peter Thiel's personal bootlicker says the unarmed woman shot in the face by a masked agent of the state was "a standard issue white liberal activist who didn't think the law applied to her" who "drove directly" at the officer.

Um, you're not allowed to go door-to-door hoping to randomly find someone violating the law. You need a warrant. That's is basic Constitutional shit.
