NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Trump claims ICE's Minnesota raids — which have already killed two Americans — are justified to root out "fraud."

Meanwhile, he's pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC.

The "law and order" president.

"simply about getting ICE back to obeying the law"

Come on. They will never obey the law. And the law itself allows them to abuse & murder with impunity via qualified immunity.

ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES is the minimum short term demand.

Defund and abolish ICE is the only moral long term course.
Here's Senator Chris Murphy's extended discussion of this group of restrictions on ICE:

Trump's ICE just killed 2 Americans in 2 weeks. Americans are demanding action.

How did Senate Republicans respond?

By threatening a partial govt shutdown if we don't give ICE another blank check.

They'd rather hold govt hostage than ensure accountability for these killings.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.
