Almost 400,000 people missing in a population of 2.23 million people.
That's rough 20% of the population missing - most of them children.

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza.

That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.

Genocide.

The top of tomorrow's @startribune.com is taken up by more stories of ICE predation: the detention of a 5-year-old boy, and separately a 2-year-old girl grabbed and sent to Texas despite a judge ordering the child's release. Why persecute children?

And one of the women rightly said that all she could think of as she was saving that agents life is that he would not do that for her
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.

They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

the one case we’ve seen go to court played out like this: the govt didn’t show up, so the judge ordered the man’s release, then ICE rearrested him outside his home. so i imagine they’ll keep doing that for a while.

Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."
