Yesterday I observed 15 shackled detainees being loaded on the ICE Air flight at MSP. In this clip, as the last one hobbles on, staff put away a full-body WRAP restraint, which had been laid out next to the airstairs.

Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:

100% agreed. The ground reporters across local outlets large and small have done extraordinary work these last few monthsβ€”I can't imagine how this would have gone without them.

I also want to shout out @madisonmcvan.bsky.social who has proven herself to be one of *the* essential reporters of the occupation. VERY interested to see what she covers come peacetime.

After Bovino randomly stopped his convoy to assault a park in Uptown, I remember people on the ground wiping pepper spray out of their faces, someone shouting that there were bullets in the snow, and then the gas clearing and there was Jason Chavez with a big, resolute smile helping people up.

You're absolutely rightβ€”that was not a command post, that was an elementary school. Those were not military leadersβ€”they were schoolchildren. I said the opposite, and that's on me.

Do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to walk the streets of Tehran. See the people whose lives are being treated like chess pieces. They areβ€”in the Biblical senseβ€”your neighbors.

Nice pull and an important reminder that, no, things haven't always been like this.

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

3,400 down, 650 to go... www.startribune.com/close-to-650...

Just a repeated failure to even look at a map. "Send in 20% of the country's immigration agents to Minneapolis." "uh, sir, that part of the country is famously completely frozen right now" "Strike these targets in Tehran" "uh, sir, do you see this little narrow strip of water right there, well..."

Yes, it's hard to tell what's bluff and bluster versus what's ignorance. Doesn't really matter, I suppose

It's also why the most effective resistance is "dig in, concede nothing, wait a couple news cycles." This is *the* central weakness of their ideology, and they can't adapt away from it without forfeiting their core belief, which is they can pop anyone in the nose and get what they want in 2 seconds

Exactly the same idiocy we saw in Minnesota. "We sent 2,000 agents and people are filling the streets? Send 2,000 more. Wait, that's generated MORE resistance? Gas, arrest, intimidate, kill with total immunity. Huh, seems like people are only getting more intractable... uh, nevermind, abort"

This is also happening to an entire large apt building full of tenants on Lake right now too, but different building owners…? Eviction notices going out building-wide on the 2nd exclusively for rent due the 1st. They haven’t even been charged a late fee yet!

DHS Investigates Gregory Bovino’s Remarks About Prosecutor’s Jewish Faith Mr. Bovino, who was the face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdowns in American cities, was reported to have made disparaging comments in reference to the U.S. attorney in Minnesota, who is an Orthodox Jew.

The Department of Homeland Security has opened an internal investigation into a report that Gregory Bovino, a senior Border Patrol commander, made disparaging remarks about the Jewish faith of the top federal prosecutor in Minnesota during an immigration operation in the state.

The cases would come to Hennepin County Attorney through BCA because they both were committed by govt agents. So the order of operations is MPD -> BCA -> HCA.

And I know MPD has been providing info on the cases to BCA, because I called 911 in one case and BCA had contacted me about the call.

Hello, 911?
