NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

The fact Bondi said she’d pull them out of Minnesota if they turned over private data (voting records) tells us it was never about immigration The fact ICE will be part of US security for the Olympics in Milan tells us the same They have more funding than the Marine Corps to be the GOP’s Gestapo.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

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

Every person who goes into the streets to observe or respond to ICE knows, in some part of their brain, there’s a likelihood that they’ll be killed by masked federal paramilitaries. And yet they do it anyway. But it doesn’t make it any less shocking or heartrending when a good neighbor is martyred.

Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

The people pushing for the elimination of birthright citizenship are currently committing atrocities against immigrants within our country's borders and murdering fishermen overseas. This cannot be ethically discussed as an abstract legal question. There is no law here, only a fascist will to power.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law. revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

ICE has powerful tools to crack down on people opposing the administration’s policies. It can trawl the internet for people holding anti-ICE views. It can track the locations where protesters and activists gather and identify their networks of friends and family. It can identify protesters using facial recognition. It may even be able to hack into phones. Information collected through these tools will be added to the Department of Homeland Security’s vast stores of information for potential future use. And all these data streams can be combined to develop detailed dossiers on people who are not suspected of any crime.
