NEW: Minnesota's top federal judge says ICE has been violating court orders repeatedly — detaining noncitizens or rushing them to Texas despite judges' commands.
He wants ICE's director to answer for it "personally," and could level contempt sanctions.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence.
It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Making sure it's immediately saved to the cloud or even published online instantly is important because these ICE goons can grab your phone and delete your footage to hide their crimes.
At 4K, your images can be zoomed in 4 times or more with no loss of resolution before being posted
This helps viewers see exactly when a gun is removed from an ICE victim's holster before he is then executed, for example
And make sure you're backing up to the cloud so footage is permanently saved

It's not just that these professional politics observers somehow failed to spot the obvious rise of American nativist thuggery.
It's how much energy they devoted to arguing the real problem was the volume, tone, and vocabulary of those raising the alarm about it.

We had to put up with school shootings because "the 2nd Amendment"
But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment.
ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.

But Alex Pretti who had a holstered, permitted handgun, was recording ICE, and tried to help a pepper-sprayed woman deserved to die?
