The administration keeps telling us that ICE is in our cities to make us all feel safe, but if they're goons in plainclothes bum rushing vehicles with guns and pounding on the windows, how exactly does that make anyone feel safe?

Trump sanctioned the International Criminal Court while simultaneously easing sanctions on Russia which is massacring Ukrainian civilians. A masterclass in criminality and corruption.

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

Filming and releasing video of an execution is more common with terror groups like the Islamic State, which became infamous for videos of gruesome executions of prisoners who were not given due process or convicted of crimes. And mass shooters have livestreamed their killing sprees. Now it's us.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

The administration's inability to shut the fuck up on social about pending cases plays a role.
At the center of the government’s argument on this issue is its attempts to separate the motives of the prosecutors in this District from those of immigration officers and other Executive Branch actors who played a role in the events concerning Petrova.  See Doc. No. 63 at 12, 14.5  But for present purposes in this case, the record belies the distinction the government proposes for at least two reasons.  First, the close timing of crucial events in this prosecution and proceedings concerning Petrova’s ongoing habeas matter in Vermont—for example, the filing of a criminal complaint charging Petrova only two days before a hearing on a dispositive motion in the habeas case, and the unsealing of the complaint coupled with a public statement by the United States Attorney within hours of the habeas hearing—ties the evidence concerning motive to the decisionmakers here at least for discovery purposes.  Second, and relatedly, the public posting of a videotaped statement by the United States Attorney overseeing this prosecution referencing Petrova’s Harvard affiliation and visa and endorsing the actions of other relevant agency actors can itself reasonably be viewed (and Judge Dein did view it) as a meaningful piece of objective evidence tending to show the requisite vindictiveness.  And, as noted earlier, the law
