ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

Ricky was assaulted by ICE tonight for merely standing on public property.
Tonight at 8:30 PM our constituent Ricky was pepper sprayed by ICE on 18th & Polk. 2 agents parked their car, got out and approached observers, started pepper spraying Ricky on public property, and then drove away and left.
Nothing is changing on the ground in Minnesota. ICE must be abolished.

This is interesting: New Mexico seems likely to pass a bill banning private ICE concentration camps in the state, despite some loss of jobs
This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care.
It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back.

Senator, the commonsense reform for ICE is to abolish it, and to prosecute those who ran it, and to forbid those who have worked for it to ever work for a government agency again.
Do you ever even listen to your constituents? We. Do. Not. Want. Your. Weak. Tea.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Hey, @mayorbowser.dc.gov and @ddotdc.bsky.social : I walk my kids three blocks to school. Most (although certainly not all) sidewalks are shoveled now enough for us to walk single file there, but piles of snow remain at every single intersection.

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.

One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

What do you mean "create a code of conduct" there already IS a code of conduct that prohibits murdering people who are not using violent force. It is called the US Constitution.
If that's not binding ICE, neither will your agreement.
