One of the 15 defendants in Minnesota indicted on "Antifa" charges for allegedly standing up to ICE is simply accused of writing an article we published about the murder of Renee Good. The author describes an ICE agent shooting a pepper ball at his eye, point-blank. You can read the article here:

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Here is the newly-unsealed State Department memo confirming -- finally -- that the detention of Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk was based on an op-ed. No antisemitic activity. No support of terrorism. An op-ed in a student newspaper. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Action Memo for Senior Bureau Official John Armstrong
FROM:
SUBJECT:
CA/VO - Stuart Wilson, Deputy Assistant Secretary
(SBU) Revocation of Fl Visa for Rumeysa OZTURK
(SBU) Recommendation 1: That you approve the revocation of the Fl visa,
effective immediately, for
under section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA). Due to ongoing ICE operational security, this revocation will be silent;
the Department will not notify the subject. (Approve/Disapprove by
03/21/25)
Decision: [Approved] 
(SBU) Recommendation 2: That you authorize the transmission of the
attached notification to the Department of Homeland Security noting the,
immediate revocation of OZTURK's visa. (Approve/Disapprove by 03/21/25)

Decision: [Approved]

Background 
(SBU} On March 21, 2025, the Assistant Director of the National Security Division of DHS/ICE's Homeland Security Investigations referred to CA information regarding Rumeysa OZTURK, a Turkish national, for a possible determination by the Secretary that the alien is deportable under INA section 237(a)(4)(C). As a nonimmigrant visa holder, such a determination is not necessary for OHS/ICE to pursue removal of OZTURK from the United States, as INA section 237(a}(1)(B) provides that an alien is deportable if their nonimmigrant visa has been revoked under INA section 221(i).(SBU) Under INA section 221(i), the Secretary of State may at any time, in his discretion, revoke a visa.. This authority is delegated to you pursuant to Delegation of Authority 367-4. Department policy reflected in 9 FAM 403.ll~S(B) provides that a visa may be revoked in cases of a suspected ineligibility, when an individual would not meet requirements .for admission, or "in other situations where warranted."

(SBU) OZTURK was issued an F-1 visa on December 14, 2020, valid until December 9, 2025. According to information provided by OHS/ICE/HSI OZTURK is a post doctorate degree candidate in Child Studies and Human Development at Tufts University. On March 21, 2025, OHS/ICE/HSI referred information to CA indicating that OZTURK co-authored an op-ed in Tufts' student newspaper. In this article, the authors wrote, "Graduate Students for Pal'estine joins Tufts Students for Justice in Palestine (TSJP), the Tufts Faculty and Staff Coalition for Ceasefire, .and Fletcher Students for Palestine to reject the ,University's response" {to a student government resolution). According to OHS/ICE/HSI, Tufts Students for Justice in Palestine was placed\\ on interim suspension 11 after it used images of weapons to promote a protest rally and urged members of the Tufts community to 'join the student intifada." OHS/ICE/HSI referral concluded that "OZTURK's involvement in these activities and associations with these groups may undermine U.S. foreign. policy by creating a hostile environment for Jewish students and indicating support for a designated terrorist organization."

(SBU) While OZTURK has been involved with the actions protesting Turfts' relationship with Israel, QHS/ICE/HSI has not, however, provided any evidence showing that OZTURK has engaged in any antisemitic activity or made any public statements indicating support for a terrorist organization or antisemitism generally. While the report implies a connection between OZTURK and the now-banned Tufts Student for Justice in Pa…OZTURK was involved in any of the activities which resulted in TJSP being suspended from Tufts.

(SBU) Through a search on March 21, 2025, on available USG interagency databases, CA/VO identified no reporting specific to OZTURK, and interagency vetting partners did not provide any response to OZTURK's 2024 visa application indicating the existence of derogatory terrorism-related information.

(SBU) OHS did not identify any alternative grounds of removability that would be applicable to OZTURK, including the ground of removability for aliens who have provided material support to a foreign terrorist organization or terrorist activity, and have not indicated whether it plans to consider termination of OZTURK's SEVIS registration. Although information provided by OHS/HSI/ICE does not establish any potential ineligibility for OZTURK, you may, in your discretion and in accordance with Department policy in 9 FAM 403.11-5(8), approve revocation of her F-1 visa effective immediately based on the totality of the circumstances presented indicating that revocation may be warranted.

What is happening in the United States mirrors early stages of an escalation pattern.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Clay Higgins sent a letter to Bluesky and other social media sites threatening investigations if they don't censor speech critical of Charlie Kirk. They don't even know who Jay is because they addressed her as "gentleman." clayhiggins.house.gov/wp-content/u...
Alt text: Two-page letter on official U.S. House of Representatives letterhead, dated September 15, 2025, from Congressman Clay Higgins (Louisiana, 3rd District) to major tech executives, including Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Elon Musk (X), Neal Mohan (YouTube), Shou Zi Chew (TikTok), Jay Graber (Bluesky), and Devin Nunes (Trump Media & Technology Group).

Page 1:
The letter opens by thanking the executives for their service and offering condolences. It references the "graphic, televised murder of a heroic Christian leader, Mr. Charlie Kirk," urging the companies to take responsibility by removing posts that allegedly celebrated Kirk’s death. It demands that authors of such posts be banned and new pages they create also prohibited. It frames celebration of Kirk’s murder as unacceptable in a free society, and states that Congressman Higgins has initiated a Congressional effort to enforce this.Page 2:
The letter continues, stating that shielding offenders will not be protected under Section 230. Higgins emphasizes his role as Chair of the Federal Law Enforcement subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, with authority over federal regulatory law enforcement. He frames the restriction of harmful public statements not as oppression, but as protection of free speech and societal standards. The letter closes with a demand for a formal response within one business week, signed "Clay Higgins, Member of Congress," and CCs Donald J. Trump (President of the United States) and Pam Bondi (Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice).

MANKATO, Minnesota (AP) - Charlie Kirk stood 80 miles from where George Floyd was murdered, faced an overwhelmingly white audience, and declared he was going to say things "no one dares say out loud."
What followed was an avalanche of aspersions and debunked claims about Floyd, the Black man whose death at the hands of a
Minneapolis police officer set off a global reckoning over racial injustice and broad calls for change. But the white conservative agitator had a counter view: Floyd was a "scumbag," he said, unworthy of the attention.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.
An Onion front page with the headline: Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice

Who will stand up for our democracy? This
question, fraught in even the most peaceful
times, has only grown more pressing as our
country approaches its 250th anniversary.
Each passing day brings growing assaults on
essential liberties like freedom of speech and due process.
Meanwhile, our delicately assembled legal system faces
a constant barrage of threats. Even as this issue reaches
publication, the U.S. military has been deployed against
peaceful protesters. We teeter on the brink of collapse into
an authoritarian state. That is why, today, The Onion calls
upon our lawmakers to sit back and do absolutely nothing.
Members of Congress, now more than ever, our nation
desperately needs your cowardice.
Our republic is a birthright, an exceedingly rare treasure
passed down from generation to generation of Americans. It
was gained through hard years of bloody resistance and can
too easily be lost. Our Founding Fathers, in their abundant
wisdom, understood that all it would take was men and
women of little courage sitting in the corridors of power
and taking zero action as this precious inheritance was
stripped away—and that is where we have finally arrived.
Now is not the time for bravery or valor! This is the time
for protecting your own hide and lining your pocket. Now is
not the time for listening to your idiotic constituents drone
on about what’s happening to their precious democracy.
This is the time for getting down on all fours and grov-
eling. Now is not the time to say, “Enough is enough,” and
have the tough conversations about resisting the ongoing
assaults on American liberty. This is the time to let the wave
of apathy and indifference roll over you as you think about
getting a really nice renovation to your house in Kalorama.
But what can I, one coward, do alone? you might ask.
