The “war-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head. @kevinhfoster.bsky.social recently visited the ICE facility and spoke with people there and across Portland—and the reality of what is happening on the streets is very different than what the administration wishes to portray.

MAGA thinks the majority will sit there and just accept masked, armed ICE agents to continue terrorizing their streets. They are wrong. Dangerous, desperate overreach by a weakened Administration.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts. Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

The men kneeling on this peaceful protester are not ICE. The reality is that the sheer number of people in a city like Chicago means that without the state assisting in its own occupation, these “operations” could not succeed. Which certainly begs the question of who serves whom.

Massive escalation at the ICE facility. Federal agents made multiple arrests (at least 4), threw out gas, and shot tons of pepper balls. Heard one of the people arrested screaming minutes later. Not possible to get a visual.
