This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

Wrote about him in TNR, prior to Renee Good. Remarkably similar incident. He’d just dropped off his kid. They rushed his car. He tried to flee. Cops then claimed he tried to run them over, despite video evidence to the contrary.

Should’ve been a warning.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

Completely agree with @miawong.bsky.social here. There were multiple videos out of Villegas Gonzalez’s murder the same day he was killed that contradicted ICE’s claims.

Attorney representing these men just now tells me that her clients were not deported. Some other Iranians were deported though, unclear if any were asylum seekers as well. Should have more information tomorrow.

A @nytimes.com video analysis shows that after agents restrained Alex Jeffrey Pretti & removed his gun from the skirmish, an agent appears to fire 4 shots at Petri.

That agent & another then fire 6 more shots at Pretti while he lies motionless on the ground.

A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Update: The Iranian men’s attorney tells me that they will not be going anywhere today because the unit of people who were scheduled for removal is under quarantine for a measles outbreak in the facility until Feb. 4.

Gives more time for a judge to intervene.
Horrifying NEWS: “These are incredibly straightforward cases,” attorney Rebekah Wolf, who is desperately fighting to save her clients from being sent to torture or death by getting a federal judge to stay the removal before tomorrow’s flight, told me this afternoon.

HORRIFIC: the Trump admin is reportedly planning to dump hundreds of parents and children arrested in the interior (including Minneapolis) into extraordinarily dangerous Mexican border towns, and make them run a gauntlet of kidnappers if they want kangaroo court hearings.
Scoop: Trump admin plans to remove ~400 individuals, including children and families, to Mexico in first known restart of controversial “Remain in Mexico” policy during Trump’s 2nd term, sources tell me and Jake Traylor @ms.now

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
