All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because:
1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it.
2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

Does the arrival of shiny new vehicles seem like an indicator of de-mobilization?

Lots of people running with ICE’s claim that someone attacked them with a shovel so they were justified in shooting two people. What kind of shovel? It’s like 10 degrees outside, there hasn’t been snow in days. Why would someone just happen to have a shovel on hand after a high speed chase?

After looking at other cases from elsewhere, Brasel is brutal: "Under any explication of the due process analysis on this record, the obstacles the government has put in place at Whipple rise to the level of an unconstitutional infringement of noncitizen detainees' right to access counsel."

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.
"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

I am wary of any politicians doing a victory lap today before we’ve seen on the ground that ICE has left. Their surety makes me think that they negotiated something and I think they owe it to us to be as transparent as possible about what that is.

Our government is getting a taste for torturing children. DHS is buying more and more building space to do more and more of it.
They’ll find people to fill all that space if we let them.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

As we dig into this scandal, can we revisit the question about why the president's son-in-law, who has no formal role in this administration, keeps showing up at high-level negotiations with actual world leaders?
Breaking WSJ:
The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

None of us are free until all of us are free. That has to include basic needs even when the crisis ends. A safe home, nutritious food, healthcare. Mpls has been keeping folks fed, housed, and healthy through ingenious and nimble mutual aid networks. We all deserve a society where all can thrive.
something from minnesota that i would like people to learn, that i don’t think is hitting people yet:
helping MN is good. people need it. but people in your community need mutual aid too. care. resources. food. outside of times of crisis.
and you can help.

He's using "culture" as a proxy word for "power."
White "culture" isn't under threat. White power is under threat. Assumed white dominance is under threat.
White male dominance feels especially threatened, because mediocre white men can't compete for top spots in a true meritocratic system.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Reminder that just 2 weeks ago, an agreement was signed for ICE/DHS to house 500-800 agents at Fort Snelling.
So drawdown? Maybe. Going away? I remain incredibly skeptical.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.
