On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

Recklessly inaccurate, since both qualified immunity (civil) and Supremacy Clause immunity (criminal) hinge upon officers’ actions being (1) lawful, and (2) within their authority. Constitutional limits aren’t optional. State officials may arrest for criminal conduct.

Friendly reminder: Over the summer I investigated for @rollingstone.com how Trump’s DOJ personally intervened to stop Washington from making clergy report child abuse. Do with that what you will in light of the Epstein Files:

As I wrote for @rollingstone.com, "What started as a border program to collect migrants’ DNA has evolved into the architecture of a biometric surveillance state — a system that could soon watch us all, no matter how far we are from the border."

Just an FYI

If the U.S. has really seized a sitting foreign president and flown him out of his country, this is not only an act of war, but a regime removal. Explosive constitutional and international law implications. Developing.

I reported this Sunday feature for @rollingstone.com on the federal push to use immigration enforcement as a gateway to biometric surveillance. Read the full story here:

The Grand Ole Opry was my first concert, during a trip in '01 while taking my great grandpa’s ashes back to Tennessee for his funeral. That night, as a young kid, I was changed forever, and my love affair with this great music began. Happy 100th, Opry!
