I know this is kind of spitting into the wind, but I'd like to make an effort:
Just because ICE calls them "administrative warrants" doesn't make that the most accurate term for them.
They are forms. ICE forms. Signed by an ICE employee. Authorizing an arrest, but still, a _form._

Tyrant King is also the hottest juco QB prospect
The Founders: In our Constitution we invented the Tyrant King as a cautionary tale
American Right: At long last, we have created the Tyrant King from classic governance text Don't Create The Tyrant King

Very cool that the 'founding fathers' effectively created a King-Lite political system whereby the vast majority of decision-making powers -- even the ability to destroy the law and thwart oversight over oneself -- are enshrined in the Executive.

buddy, you can solve this by having your goons stop wrongfully detaining people. this is a problem of your own making.
The top federal prosecutor in Minnesota says his short-staffed office has been abandoning "pressing and important priorities" to manage the flood of immigration cases.
Daniel Rosen says his office is buckling under the crushing weight of emergency lawsuits filed by immigrants detained by ICE.

It seems bad that the two Northside council members hate poor people.
Council Member Vetaw argues against rental assistance money with anecdotes. Says she's heard from people who applied and weren't approved. Some of the most vulnerable people. Sounds like her argument is the money just disappears into a black hole and doesn't help people.

How could the parkway do what they already did in 2020 that was overwhelmingly popular?
Open streets has existed as a popular, regular local event for more than a decade. Yet the idea of exploring open parkways events on the riverfront is the crime of the century. You can thank MPRB commissioners Cathy Abene and Charles Rucker for working people into a rage over it.
embarrassingly ugly meeting. glad the board stuck to their guns instead of being rolled by their aggressive and hostile opposition. tom constantly being put in an impossible position by flowers’ outbursts

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

“The Bible is only talking about individuals and not the government when it says to be kind to others” is an insane argument in favor of government cruelty but also IF THATS HOW YOUR WORLDVIEW WORKS WHY DO YOU KEEP MAKING SO MANY OTHER GOVERNMENT LAWS BASED ON OTHER BIBLE STUFF

“The system sucks. This job sucks,” ICE attorney Julie Le told Judge Blackwell. “I wish you would hold me in contempt so I would have a full 24 hours sleep,” the attorney added.

A federal judge ordered the release of two Venezuelan men accused of assaulting a federal immigration officer last month outside a north Minneapolis duplex.
But they never made it outside the St. Paul courthouse. ICE detained them again, without explanation, after the hearing.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.
