To all the “this is not what I voted for” people, this is exactly what you voted for, you just thought you’d be exempt from the consequences. That’s the difference.

Multi-state AGs blast DOJ’s Jan. 24 letter to Minnesota as a bad faith attempt to justify a violent federal operation, force repeal of lawful state policies, and seize private data. States are standing on sovereignty, privacy, and the rule of law.
January 29, 2026
Attorney General Pamela J. Bondi
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20530
Secretary Kristi Noem
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
2707 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE
Washington, DC 20528
Dear Attorney General Bondi and Secretary Noem:
The undersigned Attorneys General write in response to the Department of Justice's January 24, 2026 letter to officials in Minnesota. Your letter does not appear to be a good-faith effort at intergovernmental coordination. Instead, your letter reads as an after-the-fact attempt to justify a highly concerning federal operation, the execution and consequences of which raise serious concerns that are now receiving national attention. The letter makes demands that are without lawful basis and inconsistent with fundamental principles of our federal system. The gravity of this attempted intervention requires a response from all the undersigned as key law enforcement officials in our respective jurisdictions, and as those defending the sovereignty of the States and the rule of law.
The inescapable reality is that the Federal Government is engaging in a dangerous and ongoing assault on the State of Minnesota and its residents. You and other federal officials demand that we ignore the unlawful acts that our eyes clearly see and accept pretextual justifications or outright fabrications instead.
Your letter, penned on the very day federal agents took the life of a second civilian on Minnesota's streets, makes plain the true purpose behind the administration's violent and unlawful assault. It is not to uncover fraud or pursue criminal undocumented immigrants, but rather to terrify the people of Minnesota and coerce the State into abandoning policies and protections it has the sovereign authority to pursue. The Tenth Amendment clearly reserves toletter first demands that Minnesota share all... records on Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program data, with the federal government." This request would require disclosing, among other things, personal data of thousands of Minnesotans without any factual basis for such an extraordinary request. Many States have already sued over federal demands for SNAP data, see California v. USDA, No. 25-cv-06310 (N.D. Cal.), obtained a preliminary injunction against the USDA's demand, and continue to oppose ongoing demands that still violate the law. The States have also brought claims over the Administration's plans to share state Medicaid data with immigration enforcement agencies, which has also led to court-ordered protections as to what specific data could be shared. See California
v. HHS, Case No. 25-cv-5536 (N.D. Cal.). We have also been forced to bring a host of lawsuits to prevent federal agencies from conditioning federal funding on participation in immigration enforcement in ways that exceed the scope of the federal government's authority-all in spite of courts already rejecting the federal government's attempted coercion during the first Trump administration. See California v. U.S. Dept of Transp., No. 25-CV-208-JJM-PAS, 2025 WL 3072541 (D.R.I. Nov. 4, 2025); Illinois v. Fed. Emergency Mgmt. Agency, 801 F. Supp. 3d 75 (D.R.I. 2025); see also, e.g., City of Providence v. Barr, 954 F.3d 23 (Ist Cir. 2020); City & County of San Francisco v. Barr, 965 F.3d 753 (9th Cir. 2020).
Your letter next demands that Minnesota repeal "sanctuary policies" and makes a series of unsupported claims about the policies in place and their effects, with little regard for their accuracy and with disdain for the considered judgments of Minnesota's elected officials and its law enforcement community. Several States have successfully defended their States' policy
determinations to decline or restrict the use of their limited re…

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

Not like we didn’t know it already, but: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A 51-year-old man shot Saturday by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis has died, a hospital record obtained by The Associated Press shows.

Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

Venezuela is a Diversion. The administration went into Venezuela on the same day the Department of Justice (DOJ) faced a statutory deadline to justify redactions in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting. Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

Just want to remind everyone that ICE's jurisdictions stops 100 miles from the border and coast. Minneapolis is 300 miles from the border. "No you can not enter. Let me see a warrant. No warrant? Fuck you!" If they do anyways go silent. Say nothing. Hire a lawyer, you just won the lottery.
