This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.
According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents.
Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.

Disagree with Nina on a ton of political tactics for driving action but she's 100% correct here.

A boycott with an end date does nothing but absorb energy from potential effective boycotts.
Those in Montgomery didn’t abstain from riding the bus for 6 days, they went until their demand was met.
That is the purpose of a boycott.

This is authoritarianism
Escalate and intimidate. That is exactly the playbook.
And it concerns me greatly: You know the Stephen Miller types in this administration are just itching for violence - searching, longing for something they can use as pretext for a drastic escalation so they can finally ditch all restraint.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
