ICE’s new tactic, witnessed repeatedly at the federal building in MN: when a detained immigrant makes a successful habeas petition, release the immigrant for a few steps outside the building… then tackle and re-arrest them, and claim the habeas petition has been honored and nullified

$13 million and counting. That’s how much one Wisconsin billionaire has given to Lisa Demuth’s Super PAC to try to buy her the governor’s office. From opposing prescription drug reforms to banning abortion, his agenda is a perfect match for Lisa Demuth – but not for Minnesota.
