This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost

Opinion | The Trump administration is using secretive orders to crack down on dissent Sarah McLaughlin: The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly abusing oversight-free administrative subpoenas to chill protected speech.

Imagine finding out that the government is issuing secretive orders to unearth your personal information and then sending federal agents to question you β€” all because you sent an email criticizing the life-or-death decisions the government makes.

This is happening in the United States.

DHS: Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE.

If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.

I haven't been in an occupied areas, but so far I haven't done anything illegal, and my preparations for the possibility of the regime coming to my city have all been for legitimately lawful and peaceful activities, and I frankly don't have the tech or other savvy to avoid getting on lists

The Minneapolis resistance is getting object lessons in what wrecking is in real-time, but unfortunately the lesson doesn't seem to be taking

ICE reportedly has a tool where they circle a geography and get the names of all the cell phone users within it. The key to defeating this technology is not "smashing your cell phone with a hammer" but "recognizing that having a list of 30 people who are recording you in public is not very useful"

For all the discussion of doxxing federal agents, there’s essentially no discussion of how those agents are taking steps that attach severe punitive measures that stretch across wide swaths of the federal bureaucracy against people acting lawfully.

Really just the logical conclusion of their need for people to like them

I think we've gone from:

Non fascist state with fascists or fascist wannabees in charge

To

Some components are a little fashy (ie living in Minneapolis... and ice agents taking the pictures of "dissidents" for a database) but most people aren't living under fascism

It’s not quite true to say nothing has changed, I think. Bovino had a particularly paramilitary style, where he’d roll around in force and tear gas entire neighborhoods, and we haven’t seen that. But ICE is still swarming and if anything aggression against observers has increased.

The official stance if Hoffman on ICE/DHS in Minnesota is basically "the beatings will continue until morale improves
