HORRIFIC: the Trump admin is reportedly planning to dump hundreds of parents and children arrested in the interior (including Minneapolis) into extraordinarily dangerous Mexican border towns, and make them run a gauntlet of kidnappers if they want kangaroo court hearings.
Scoop: Trump admin plans to remove ~400 individuals, including children and families, to Mexico in first known restart of controversial “Remain in Mexico” policy during Trump’s 2nd term, sources tell me and Jake Traylor @ms.now
They’re set to be removed as early as Tuesday from TX and AZ to Mexico

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

ICE and DHS are out of control and making our communities less safe.
I will not support funding for DHS without clear accountability and stronger controls over the agency.
It is time for the Senate to do its job and rein in this lawlessness.

When you're a paramilitary force, they let you do it
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability.
Joining ICE does not give you license to murder.
The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

This analysis by the New York Times paints a damning picture of ICE's decision to kill Alex Pretti after Pretti had attempted to help a woman who had been shoved (assaulted) by ICE. ICE had Pretti pinned on the ground when one agent appears to come across a gun. After taking the gun, they kill him.
