Ha ha I hate it here
From the New York Times:

It is a chaotic scene on the National Mall.
Several hundred people have refused to leave despite an order to evacuate because of severe inclement weather that is approaching. Some are even arguing with Secret Service agents. At one point, a crowd of people began running back toward the stage. An officer is sternly repeating the order over a bullhorn and the crowd is booing. Many have begun chanting "U.S.A., U.S.A." A federal law enforcement officer is trying to assure people that the event has not been canceled. Many are not convinced.
One man walking by blamed the situation on "liberals in the weather service," adding,
"I think this is baloney."

Here's part of a motion to dismiss with prejudice in MN case of Nasra Ahmed, who was one of the people Pam Bondi turned into a trophy. As has happened in at least one other of those, Judge ordered disclosures, DOJ moved to dismiss to avoid disclosures storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Ms. Ahmed was one
of thousands of people whom agents singled out without any substantive grounds to
believe that she was not legally in the United States, and most commonly singled them
out based on their racial or ethnic appearance. Indeed, Ms. Ahmed is a United States
citizen based on his having born in this country, and but is of Somali origin, Black and
wears a hijab. Based on her color and physical appearance, she was racially profiled by 1
agents.
According to disclosure by the government, ICE agents on January 14, 2026 were
at a residential complex in St. Paul to conduct a "knock and talk" at the home of a person
whom for unknown reasons they suspected of being removeable. When agents were at
this property, they saw Ms. Ahmed, stopped her and demanded her identification. Agents
had no basis for stopping Ms. Ahmed and demanding her ID. As stated, she is a U.S.
citizen by birth. The only plausible explanation is her skin color and religious clothing.
After agents checked Ms. Ahmed's identification and realized there was no basis to harass
her, one of the agents called her the N-word. Ms. Ahmed was shocked by the expression
of racial hatred which she had never experienced. An argument ensued. Shortly
thereafter, agents violently arrested Ms. Ahmed, and booked her into jail where she
remained for more than two days. She was then released.
Shortly before launching "Operation Metro Surge" Donald Trump publicly called 1
Somali Americans "garbage."
