There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

A reckless & dangerous ICE apprehension chase led to the death of another US citizen.

Linda Davis, a special education teacher, was killed because of #ICELawlessness.

Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand accountability!

It's okay if you've called before. Call every day until they call back.

CBS not airing James Talarico’s interview with Stephen Colbert because they were supposedly worried about FCC backlash is a really big deal. Stephen Colbert was told not to say anything and did so anyways. This man is not getting enough credit for standing up for free speech.

According to internal emails obtained as part of a FOIA request, top ICE officials knew as early as March 2025 that officers were using dramatically more force against civilians and the targets of enforcement operations — months before federal officers shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
ICE officials knew use of force was rising well before Minneapolis shootings
Internal agency emails show a surge in reports of ICE officers using more force going back nearly a year, but DHS leadership did not see it as a concern to be addressed.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

Trump's Caribbean Surge Nears $3 Billion Price Tag So Far
The operations around Venezuela that eventually led to the capture of its president pulled in nearly a fifth of the US Navy’s surface fleet at a cost of more than $20 million a day.

Our assignment is to embarrass fascist hack and Trump-panderer Bari Weiss by making sure this segment, which she banned from airing, gets more views on YouTube than it would have gotten on CBS. #StreisandEffect
Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Colbert usually gets around 2 million viewers but because Trump's FCC banned Talarico's interview the segment has been viewed online over 10.5 million times. Nice work, dipshits

Anderson Cooper is leaving his role as a correspondent on CBS News’s 60 Minutes after nearly 20 years with the program. He will not renew his CBS contract and is stepping away from that role. We hope more continue this trend it’s hard not to see CBS as state-run media.

So, we are just going to *allow* Kushner to serve in this administration though no one voted for him. Not us.
Not the Senate.
No one.
And we’re not protesting this.
This sends a confirmation to the world of our weakness on the world stage.
