Immigration attorneys say their Somali clients are having hearings rescheduled months or years earlier than planned, apparently in an attempt to speed up deportations.

Don’t talk about how much you support immigrants or want ICE out if you support throwing my community out into the cold.
You’re now responsible for people self deporting, not having enough money to feed their families, and their displacement. You’re just like ICE.

Stop paying someone just so they can audition for a circuit nomination in bad faith.
Particularly someone who refused to sign a document that nearly every other law professor signed which says “uh ICE should stop violating the rights of Minnesotans.”
As someone who spent every day trying to protect my community from ICE, to the point where I was personally assaulted, I’m so disappointed Mayor Frey vetoed this bare-minimum policy that would show that he could move beyond cuss words & take real action to provide material support for our neighbors.
History will look back on the leaders of Minneapolis and what they did to stand up for our residents during and after Trump’s invasion of our city.

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
I will donate $100 to anyone who can convey my request for him to do Cumbersome by 7Mary3, $100 to the guy doing the singing if he does it, and $100 to Norm Nation fundraising efforts if this gets done. I am dead serious. An additional $100 each if he also does Shimmer by Fuel.

Ahhh, yes, if MPD doesn’t witness a crime, then it’s impossible a crime was committed.
Today we observed six shackled detainees being loaded onto the ICE Air flight at MSP. They're heading to El Paso, where conditions are so horrific, staff gamble on who the next prisoner to commit suicide will be.
The man walking from right to left at the beginning of the clip is dragging shackles.
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
I've been thinking about this Pew survey all week. It's incredibly depressing and makes me wonder what it would be like to live among people who didn't despise one another. washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/03/06/americans-immoral-unethical-survey/?itid=hp_more-top-stories_p002_f006
My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.
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.

“When I think about navigating the start of the year here, especially in our hometown in Minneapolis, the thing that we have kept front and center every single day is the safety of our team.” – Target CEO Michael Fiddelke
Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic
NEW @npr.org: The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.
But 37 pages of records are still not public.

Hit by what?
NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.
“To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”
ICE Comes to the American Heartland
After the government declares mission complete in Minneapolis, aggressive ICE occupation continues in small-town Minnesota.

A man with the government has been at the last two hearings relating to the contempt claim. Both times, he sat in the section of the courtroom open only to parties and counsel. Although not at counsel’s table, Littman and Jean Lin, the other Justice Department lawyer present at both hearings, has repeatedly consulted with him during both hearings. After today’s hearing — and after not being able to figure out for myself who he was after the last hearing — I asked him who he was. I had my press pass visibly displayed and identified myself as a reporter. He said he didn’t want to do that. I suggested that he must be a government official or employee, sitting where he was, and, if so, I asked incredulously if he really was not going to tell a reporter at a hearing who he was. He said no. Then, the people leaving — myself included — got to the elevator. Littman, Lin, mystery man, and two other people sitting with mystery man on the government side of the courtroom during the hearing on Wednesday were getting into the elevator. Some of them were already in the elevator. When I stepped in, mystery man said he would wait for the next elevator. Everyone else then got out of the elevator. Left in the elevator alone, I looked at these five adults — all of whom I believe have to be government employees, hence, paid by the public and allegedly working for the public — and was some combination of bemused and appalled. “You are all ridiculous,” I simply said. The door closed.
And, the story of the mystery man.

Meanwhile, the occupation of my city has shifted form. Instead of going for a, like, a Fallujah-type-visual-scene, the paramilitaries are doing a more, oh, I don't know, three men jump out of an SUV and grab someone and they vanish kinda vibe.
It feels weirdly like bits of the movie Brazil.
