We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.
They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

NYT says ICE shot him in the back:
An “agent aims his own firearm at Mr. Pretti’s back and appears to fire one shot at close range… A third agent unholsters a weapon. Both agents appear to fire additional shots into Mr. Pretti as he lies motionless… At least 10 shots appear to have been fired…”

DHS is lying again. Alex Pretti was not resisting. He was being held to the ground by multiple agents when he was executed.
His crime? Helping a woman who’d been pushed down by ICE.
All three video angles sync’d and slowed, showing he was unarmed and not resisting: streamable.com/udofq5?src=p...

Not only do ICE get rewards for everyone they detain, the private prisons that house ICE detainees are paid per the number of incarcerated persons, per day.
The incentive structure here couldn’t be more corrupt. Congress has a responsibility to curb ICE’s power, and to make private prisons illegal

Who pays for that reward?

Yet they want you to believe they can’t afford to give you healthcare or food assistance

Giving ICE the benefit of the doubt / presumption of regularity shows Booker’s grave naivety.

Isn’t it odd that when a member of an immigrant ethnic group commits a crime, right-wing white guys want to deport the entire group, but when a right-wing white guy commits a crime, the other right-wing white guys don’t volunteer to deport themselves.

Why is this regime so hell-bent on destroying social science broadly, and Sociology specifically?
Social science measures, categorizes, validates, and describes interactions btwn groups, individuals, institutions…
as well as the manipulations bad actors use to accomplish unpopular goals at scale.

I’m extremely concerned by reports the Trump administration destroyed a facility during a covert action in Venezuela.
If this was done without Gang of Eight oversight, it’s a serious violation of federal law and a dangerous escalation that pushes us closer to war: www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
