I’d argue it’s the state violence Stephen Miller has always wanted, and he’s feeling very blessed to have a narcissistic president with dementia he can use as a puppet to enact his darkest teenage fantasies
Trump’s suggestion he’ll send soldiers into Minneapolis is simply the next step in a series of escalations that have entirely been driven by Trump.

Opinion | Trump is close to unleashing the state violence he's always wanted
Philip Bump: The president suggested on Thursday that unrest in Minneapolis might prompt him to invoke the Insurrection Act. He’s wanted to do that for years.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

This exchanged occurred during a White House presser where Karoline Leavitt gave the first question to Riley Gaines, the disgraced Olympic swimmer who launched her career as a bigoted MAGA mouthpiece and two bit podcaster simply because she tied for fifth place with a transgender woman.
LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?
REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably
LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

This photo by Mostafa Bassim shows an ICE agent scanning someone's face with a mobile app, quite possibly Mobile Fortify as first reported by @404media.co. This is the first image I've seen of the app's UI in action.
If you look closely, you can also see an interesting wristband on the agent.
