The New York Times examined dozens of videos taken in recent weeks and identified multiple aggressive tactics that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agents used during immigration arrests and in encounters with protesters.

-- Officers forcibly entered homes without a judge’s warrant. ICE officials drafted guidance saying that their officers could enter homes without a judicial warrant. Hey, who needs a Fourth Amendment anyway?

-- They interrogated people because of their ethnicity or accents. Videos show immigration agents who told said they were asking for documentation because of individuals accents.

-- They broke windows and dragged occupants from their cars. Immigration agents are taking sharp measures to detain and arrest people, including many people who do not appear to be a danger to the community and in some cases people who are not the targets of immigration enforcement operations at all.

-- They used force on people who were already restrained. Several videos show ICE agents holding a man to the ground as one agent repeatedly strikes the man in the face with his knee; others, placing a knee on the person’s neck.

-- They met protesters with force. Videos showed multiple cases when agents were quick to use physical force with protesters, shoving or tackling them.

-- They deployed chemical irritants at close range. Videos also documented multiple occasions when, in confrontations with protesters, immigration agents deployed chemical irritants with little to no warning — firing directly in people’s faces.

-- They continued to operate with anonymity, armed to battle in Fallujah while encountering soccer moms in minivans . Yeah, well, they're fucking Nazi cowards.

There's nothing complicated or subtle or hard to understand about what is happening. The objective here is cruelty, humiliation, and harm.

One protester was detained, her bra removed and her wedding band cut off. Evidently, she did not have any gold filings to steal.

You have to wonder what odious tasks Trump might assign to his goon squad in the future.

Trump's SA/Brownshirts.

This is ugly sht.

A couple bits of irony in this piece from Fox Noise:

The report says several of the demonstrators arrested at the airport were clergy (clergy bad)

The report pivots to a couple of the participants in the church demonstration have been released (church good, church inviolate)

Authorities want to arrest more people for the church demonstration, but the judge won't sign off on the warrants (judge bad)

More than 100 anti-ICE protesters ARRESTED at St. Paul airport

Texas has a far larger "illegal" population than Minnesota. Why don't we hear about this sort of state aggression in Texas?

To the extent anything on that list has even the smallest chance of being accurately reported, it is all on the Minnesota Gov and Minneapolis mayor. None of this unrest would be happening were it not for sanctuary policies forcing ICE to go into the streets rather than taking criminal aliens into custody directly from local law enforcement in the safety and privacy of local jails. This is why you don't see these kinds of incidents coming out of red states.

Because state and local law enforcement cooperate to take custody of dangerous criminal aliens and get them out of the community.

This is why you don't see these kinds of incidents coming out of red states.

According to this site, there are an estimated 100,000 illegals in Minnesota, vs nearly 2M illegals in Texas.

https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/us-immigr...

Which state is the greater "sanctuary", Texas, with 2M, or Minnesota, with 100k? Which state is the more "target rich" environment? But where were the storm troopers sent?

Line I said, you don't hear about because with cooperation, the process goes on smoothly and safely.


ICE arrests in Texas have significantly increased, with daily arrests rising from an average of 85 during the Biden administration to 176 under the Trump administration. Approximately 24% of ICE arrests nationwide occur in Texas, highlighting the state's role in the current immigration enforcement strategy.

bighairymike: Because state and local law enforcement cooperate to take custody of dangerous criminal aliens and get them out of the community.

Yeah, those five-year-old boys in floppy bunny ears winter caps, those elderly Hmong-Americans whose doors are battered down without warrant and marched out in zero degree temperatures in their underwear, and those protesters shot directly in the face with pepper spray sure are "dangerous criminal aliens".

Pointing to Nazi sympathizers in Texas who support Nazi tactics is not the flex you think it is.

According to this site, there are an estimated 100,000 illegals in Minnesota, vs nearly 2M illegals in Texas.

According to that same map, there are over 1.2M illegals in Florida, but the next target for the regime's storm troopers is Maine, with an estimated 10,000 illegals.

Steve

And when they can’t take them into custody while the criminals are in Lockup, you get incidents.

There will be riots in Minneapolis tonight. You can’t reason with adult babies.

If Texas was doing such an excellent job, why are there 2M illegals there in the first place? Estimates are there are nearly five times as many illegals in Dallas, alone, than in all of Minnesota. There are an estimated 82,000 illegals in the Tampa Bay area, alone. Why aren't the storm troopers in Florida, as DeSantis is clearly asleep at the switch?

You are apparently unaware that ICE operates in more than one state at a time. It is not an either/or.

I am suggesting they concentrate their resources where the greatest problem exists, instead of making a big show for the base, by agitating the residents of an area where there are relatively few illegals. Their latest big push is in Maine, with an estimated 10k illegals, instead of Florida, with 100 times as many.

Steve

There will be riots in Minneapolis tonight.

Last night n minus 20F degree weather, almost 50,000 people rioted in Minneapolis.

No Teslas were burned, no deaths, no injuries except frostbite, no police were attacked, and no buildings were burned down. Hell, they didn’t even break any windows.

Where were the Brown Shirt Proud Boys when you need them?

Oh, I know. They were preparing to kill an American citizen today.

I can, with virtual certainty, state that if ICE started using the same tactics in Houston Texas or even out there in Midland ….. or in Miami, Florida, that they are using in Minnesota, they would provoke the same sort of reaction.

forcing ICE to go into the streets rather than taking criminal aliens into custody

Are you unaware that the majority of people ICE is abusing/assaulting/detaining are not 'criminal aliens'?

taking criminal aliens into custody directly from local law enforcement in the safety and privacy of local jails.

Great idea. We will lock up Spankee, his supporters, and deport them all--per YOU.

You can’t reason with adult babies.

ICE/CBP to get kicked out, IMO. Valid, because they are NOT following the STATED purpose for being here.

Let's see if Mike can connect the dots...

Spankee, etc keep EATING THE DOTS.

Are you unaware that the majority of people ICE is abusing/assaulting/detaining are not 'criminal aliens'?

==================

Are you unaware that the people that you claim ICE is abusing would not be present if local police were turning over custody of criminal aliens that they already have in custody? Instead they release them into the streets for ICE to hunt down because Trump.

if local police were turning over custody of criminal aliens that they already have in custody?

Wow, you REALLY swallow Bovino BS in large bites--which is no surprise. CHEW WELL !!!

The MPD call ALL the various county jails--just to get an accurate count.

Bovino BS claims 1000+ "illegal aliens" in county jails.

ALL the MN jails have about 301 TOTAL such people locked up.

Interesting YOU (or Bovino) can't count OR tell the difference between 300 and 1000.

So, you PAY ME $1000 instead of $300--because YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

Are you unaware that the people that you claim ICE is abusing would not be present if local police were turning over custody of criminal aliens that they already have in custody?

So you know for a fact that local police have criminal aliens in their custody?

How many and what crimes did they commit?

Oh my.

Thousands of encounters between ICE and illegal aliens and other people.

A violent rioter carrying a gun wrestles with 5 or 6 officers. Said rioter reaches for the gun and naturally gets shot.

That's self defense.

Case closed.

Don't see any Nazis, don't see any thugs, except the a-hole rioters.

This is why you don't see these kinds of incidents coming out of red states.

Trump is targeting blue states and not being coy about it. He's hoping he can invoke the insurrection act and do away with the pesky thing called democracy.

So much wrong with your post. You really do need to use better sources of information. Why do you insist on using ones that take advantage of you and always make you look foolish?

1. There was literally zero unrest before Trump flooded Minnesota with ICE and CBP agents. That is on Trump and the morons like you who fall for the propaganda.
2. ICE isn't taking criminal aliens. The people they are taking are not threatening anyone.
3. There are tons of illegals in red states. These incidents are not taking place in red states because Trump isn't flooding red states with brown shirts looking for a fight.

Your stupidity is literally getting Americans killed. Asshole.

None of this unrest would be happening were it not for sanctuary policies forcing ICE to go into the streets rather than taking criminal aliens into custody directly from local law enforcement in the safety and privacy of local jails.

Thus us utter horseshit that YOU KNOW IS NOT TRUE. Most of the folks have no criminal record, so why would they be in jail. And I've stated before that there is an easy fix to getting a Judicial Warrant. Do you remember the fix?

Thus us utter horseshit that YOU KNOW IS NOT TRU

It’s 100% true. Your true blue democrats value performative nonsense over keeping their communities safe. Ergo, they release criminals out in the street instead of simply turning them over to ICE.

Why? Because your party profits off the riots and unrest.

Are you unaware that the people that you claim ICE is abusing would not be present if local police were turning over custody of criminal aliens that they already have in custody? Instead they release them into the streets for ICE to hunt down because Trump.

Horseshit Mike. I've read through this and agree with it and it matches what I've read so far. Please note that there are good legal objections to the ICE detainer that are usually cured by a Judicial Warrant. So get a cooperating Federal Judge and have him make a judicial warrant. But your argument is specious as the cure is simple, and the onus is on you and Trump, not the state.


SNIP
States and local law enforcement agencies may not cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in detaining undocumented immigrants for several reasons, primarily stemming from a mix of legal interpretations, funding issues, policy differences, and community relations concerns [2, 5, 6, 8].

Legal and Constitutional Challenges

Federal vs. State Authority: The Supreme Court has ruled that immigration enforcement is primarily a federal responsibility, not a state or local one [8]. Local law enforcement is generally not constitutionally required to enforce federal immigration law or hold individuals solely based on an ICE detainer request [8, 10].

Fourth Amendment Concerns: Many legal challenges argue that holding a person in jail beyond their release date, solely because of an ICE "detainer" request, violates their Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizure, as an ICE detainer is not a judicial warrant signed by a judge [1, 10].
Liability: Local jurisdictions face potential lawsuits and liability for civil rights violations if they unlawfully detain individuals for federal purposes [6]. (This is cured by a Judicial Warrant)

Policy and Community Considerations

Erosion of Trust: Officials in some jurisdictions argue that when local police act as de facto immigration enforcement agents, undocumented residents become afraid to report crimes, serve as witnesses, or seek police help (e.g., in domestic violence situations) for fear of deportation [2, 5]. This can compromise public safety for the entire community.
Resource Constraints: Detaining individuals past their scheduled release date creates additional costs for local jails, including expenses for housing, food, and medical care [6]. Many local governments argue these federal mandates are "unfunded," placing a financial burden on local taxpayers [6].
Differing Priorities: Local law enforcement priorities are focused on local crimes and community safety, and some officials believe federal immigration enforcement diverts resources from these core missions [5].
Political and Moral Objections: In "sanctuary city" or "sanctuary state" jurisdictions, there is often a political or moral opposition to assisting in federal deportations, leading to policies that limit cooperation [2, 5].

Methods of Non-Cooperation

Instead of mandatory hold orders, many jurisdictions may instead opt for:

Notification: Informing ICE of a detained individual's upcoming release date and time, allowing federal agents the opportunity to apprehend the person in public custody [9].
Declining Detainers: Implementing local ordinances or state laws that explicitly prohibit local jails from honoring most or all ICE detainer requests unless accompanied by a judicial warrant [4, 9].

These factors mean that a lack of cooperation is less a failure to communicate and more a reflection of differing legal interpretations and policy choices between federal and state/local governments [2, 8]. SNIP

it is all on the Minnesota Gov and Minneapolis mayor.

Let's see what they (Bovino and Noem) say under oath in court. As they will be under oath, this will be FUN to watch. Remember their public statements? No? Then you can NOT refuse to have them prove their public claims.

Then it could be their turn to testify in Congress, under oath (again). The fun begins when they get caught lying to Congress. That is right, they don't know their necks are already in the hangman's noose. So very considerate of MAGA to make it available to the govt to publicly hang Bovino and Noem.

Do you remember the fix?

Too late to return their balls to them.

Are you unaware that the people that you claim ICE is abusing would not be present if local police were turning over custody of criminal aliens that they already have in custody? Instead they release them into the streets for ICE to hunt down because Trump.


I could waste time dissecting your bullshit.

That would be a waste of time because it's bullshit.

Let's see what they (Bovino and Noem) say under oath in court.

They'll never testify. There won't be any questions about what ICE or Border Patrol did.

Just look at what has been happening with the previous killing.

FBI agent resigns over investigation into shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, sources say

An FBI agent has resigned over the investigation into the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good after Trump administration officials focused the probe more on the actions of Good and her partner and less on the officer who shot her, according to two people familiar with the decision.

It comes after six prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota resigned over their concerns about the direction of the investigation.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fbi-agent-res...

The Gov has been barking, words to the effect "the DOJ is investigating everyone, except the person who did the killing", putting a couple more nails in his "insurrectionist" coffin.

This one will be covered up too. It's all a show for the amusement and pleasure of the MAGA base, which gives the storm troopers 80% approval.

Steve

They'll never testify. There won't be any questions about what ICE or Border Patrol did.

As their statements are a matter of public record, they do NOT have to testify. BUT, they can NOT REFUTE THEIR PUBLIC STATEMENTS. And the courts CAN make decisions based on the public statements because they are NOT REFUTABLE. Bovino and Noem are caught in the trap they created for themselves.

An FBI agent has resigned over the investigation into the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good after Trump administration officials focused the probe more on the actions of Good and her partner and less on the officer who shot her, according to two people familiar with the decision.

Yep. And six prosecutors resigned earlier over a push to investigate Good's widow instead of Good's killer. This is one fucked up administration. These are bad times.

You are truly a moron who continues to willingly use sources of information that you know will eventually make you look dumb.

If you used real sources of information, you would know that the people ICE are arresting are not criminal aliens and have never been in local or state police custody.

Do better please. Your insistence on ignorance is destroying the American way.

You are truly a moron who continues to willingly use sources of information that you know will eventually make you look dumb.

You are the moron who helped elect Trump twice. The 1st time against a formidable team of Clintons and President Obama.

Then your Capitol got shit on :)

And you AGAIN helped Trump win --- despite Harris, or "Kamala" as you call her, being at 53% in polls when she entered the race *and* won the sole debate.

You have helped manufacture ICE.

And you won't change.

From Sweden to USA - you continue to fuel MAGA. Yes, you can say 'moron' online to people. But in real life....your liberties.....are mine ;)

"You are the moron who helped elect Trump twice. " - LOLJedi

You keep trying to tell me that black is white and white is black.

That only gets you laughed at. Go back to ranting on a street corner.

I hate to break it to you sunshine, but YOU have helped elect Trump twice. Your irrational hatred of all things liberal. It was no different that the invasion of Iraq. People tell you something is wrong, but they are liberal so you must irrational oppose them. You then regret it later. I get it, you don't want to recognize that part you played in destroying the American way of life. So you try and blame others.

"Yes, you can say 'moron' online to people." - LOLJedi

I call people morons who continue to engage in moronic behavior. Such as fully recognizing that certain sources of information continue to lie to them but they insist on continuing to use those sources.

"But in real life....your liberties.....are mine ;)"

LOL. Yeah right. More illogical ranting.

Laugh all you like.

I'll laugh at your nation's democracy, your rights, your debt, deficit, and lagging in many categories.

I'l laugh that Trump is your President again :)

All I need is current and real events to reply to you.

You are very weird, Jedi.

Obviously under the influence of European Nazi groups who bang the “Islamic horde” drum with as much volume as our Nazis here in America bang the “trans he/she athletes take over women’s sports and bathrooms” drums…… before moving on to whole populations, usually immigrants who are portrayed as subhuman.

It’s a winning formula with some.

In years past, it was “black men rape white women”. That one was good for trees filled with strange fruit across this country.

Hitler industrialized the message with “Jews are responsible for Germany’s woes”.

Every autocrat attempts to “purify” their country, purging it of “scum” and “vermin”.

In the end, it gins up a crowd of the ignoranti who fall for the nonsense and then proceed to burn down their own countries.

Some of them even dance in the flames.

Keep making it about me.

I'll keep replying in current events.

Enjoy it, I guess

And the evening news reports DHS will lead the "investigation" of their latest murder.

And if a case is brought at the state level, it can be removed to Federal court - delay tactics, etc. You just need to find a cooperating federal attorney and possibly a judge. We're compromised. If we get the government back, we need to go through a purge. Smh

Keep making it about me.

Uh… you started this kerfuffle by making it about me, Jedi.

Funny how you always seem to forget that.

if a case is brought at the state level, it can be removed to Federal court - delay tactics, etc.

Doesn't matter. State law will control, not federal law. You need to learn about the law.

if a case is brought at the state level, it can be removed to Federal court - delay tactics, etc.

Doesn't matter. State law will control, not federal law. You need to learn about the law.

I know state law controls Jerry, but it does matter. Note "delay tactics, etc." It's a tactical decision.

"Removing a state case against an ICE officer to federal court—often based on the federal officer removal statute for acts done "under color of office"—can inhibit or slow the case by changing the venue to a more favorable federal forum, potentially widening the jury pool, and utilizing different procedural rules. It often causes procedural delays, as a federal judge must first decide if the case should remain in federal court or be remanded.

Procedural Delays and Venue Shift: The removal process itself causes delays, as the case is temporarily paused while federal judges determine if the officer was acting within their federal authority, notes The Guardian.
Federal Immunity Protections: Federal courts may be more inclined to uphold federal immunity defenses, which can protect officers from state-level liability for actions taken while performing their duties, notes The Guardian.
Different Legal Standards: Federal court may offer more favorable procedural rules, a larger, potentially more sympathetic jury pool, and federal judges who may be more inclined toward the officer's defense, notes Isaac Wiles.

These factors can significantly slow down the litigation process and potentially lead to the dismissal of charges if the officer is found to be immune, as indicated in the context of federal officer removal statutes."

Why? Because your party profits off the riots and unrest.

Then why does Trump go out of his way to create riots and unrest? Trump is helping us profit?

Then why does Trump go out of his way to create riots and unrest? Trump is helping us profit?

The logic is a little sketchy, but ignore that for the time being.
