ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

we had to leave at 7:10 for dinner so we didn't see much content-wise beyond a Carlbom branding pitch. but we *did* see people getting harassed over their bags and then on our way out the check-in ladies were very rudely questioning some Black youth and their teacher about why they were at Sabathani
i'm told steve brandt, who is a DFL endorsed elected official, was also turned away at the DFL listening session because he had a backpack. he'd biked there, and the organizers did not tell us backpacks were banned

Counterintuitive: the DFL is run by people who have no idea what it's like to live in an urban area.
Turned away from the MN DFL event due to a bag policy that didn’t appear anywhere in the invitation.
The suggestion was to put my bag in my car. I took the bus
I’m curious how many people were turned away due to other bags (bike bags, groceries, diaper bags) and didn’t have storage options
