Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

This is complete bullshit, and it's a criminal administration's transparent effort to cover up a crime.

A reminder that Liam Ramos, the son of legal residents in Minnesota, is still being held in a Texas prison.
A five year old little boy - and America’s global reputation - now scarred for life.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Bondi’s ‘blackmail’ letter to Minnesota deepens concerns over DOJ’s voter roll motives, federal judge says

There are rumors in MAGAland that not only is Bovino being removed from Minneapolis, he’s being relieved of duty as the commander at large.
Unverified at this time, but with watching.

BREAKING: Greg Bovino has reportedly been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large." This is another clear signal that the Trump administration is feeling our pressure to stop federal agents' cruelty.
We're not letting up until ICE and CBP stop terrorizing our families and our communities.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.
