Ellison: "Enforcing federal immigration law and fighting fraud are just pretexts for this surge. The real reason is no secret -- Donald Trump and his administration have been targeting people, cities, and states that don't agree with them politically."

Trump is turning Minnesota into a test case for federal abuse of power. After lies, raids, and a deadly ICE escalation, Tim Walz is done campaigning and ready to fight back.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Frey: "Last week a group of our city's Public Works employees were stopped by ICE agents. 3 of the 4 employees were not white. The ICE agents asked to see the IDs of the 3 non-white employees and didn't even bother to ask the white employee for identification."

Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS? JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

You're also a war criminal in the sense that Putin's a war criminal for invading Ukraine in what he insists isn't a war but a special military operation. You can commit war crimes by doing warlike stuff outside the context of war.

"One of the things Trump realized by the end of his first term is that he did not have generals with him when it came to backing his claims of a stolen election or firing on Americans. I think he probably feels like he might have been able to hold onto power if he had a more subservient military."

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

A tweet from the Governor Newsom Press Office says: “The Trump effect,” quoting a post from Barchart that reads: “U.S. Housing Market has reached its most unaffordable level in history 🚨🚨.” Below is a chart titled “U.S. Home Price History: 1890 to 2025,” showing inflation-adjusted home prices with sharp rises in 2006 and a new record peak labeled “2025 Bubble.”

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.
White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
