The judges need to start enforcing their orders. Start arresting people for breaking the law. Imposing penalties.
ICE officials under a judge’s order to clean up squalid conditions on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a secret floor where they decided that ruling didn’t apply, attorneys for the Trump administration said Monday.

ICE Moved Detainees to Previously Undisclosed Floor of 26 Federal Plaza
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reduce overcrowding and squalid conditions at a Manhattan holding room. Months later, he finds ICE merely shifted floors.

This would be akin to President Biden speaking to the FBI agents right before they searched Mar-a-Lago. I'm sure Republicans would have been totally fine with that.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

If Keith Ellison doesn't want to risk getting unlawfully imprisoned himself for charging these guys I get it because I don't want to go to jail either, but if that's the case he should probably resign, because Minnesota can find an AG who is willing to take that risk to do the right thing

Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God
Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul
Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.
So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.
