The balance of the equities tips sharply in Plaintiffs’ favor. Plaintiffs seek to protect their sovereignty as well as their residents’ health, welfare, and safety. Plaintiffs also seek to retain control over local law enforcement, education, and public safety. At bottom, Plaintiffs seek to protect fundamental principles of American federalism from Defendants’ unprecedented intrusion. The public is in no way benefited from such unlawful or unconstitutional activity and there is substantial public interest in “Americans trusting their own government to follow the rule of law.” ... On the other hand, the federal government faces no harm from an injunction. The federal government has enforced federal law in Minnesota for decades without the support of thousands of federal agents roving the streets and making illegal stops. Defendants may continue to enforce such laws even with Plaintiffs’ requested injunction in place.
A hearing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) on the state of Minnesota's request to halt the ICE surge in the Twin Cities.

Violence tied to ICE in Minnesota and the ongoing case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia here in Maryland are part of the same story: fear.
From Minneapolis to Hyattsville, federal enforcement is reshaping how safe our neighbors feel.

To be clear about what happened:
Alex Pretti was a Minnesota citizen and ICU nurse doing what thousands in MN are doing: observing and protesting against ICE.
He had a handheld camera. He saw a woman pushed down by ICE. He went to help. Six or more ICE goons came after him.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

New #Substack up today on why #Hyattsville should do an accessibility audit. As someone who’s lived with access challenges, I know how much this matters. A more inclusive city starts with understanding the barriers.

Come on, @nytimes.com. There is a massive scandal brewing that Russia authored the purported American "peace" plan and *these* are your headlines on what is happening?

What is the Democratic political counterpart to the Heritage Foundation?

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

When Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old from Texas, asked doctors about terminating her high-risk pregnancy to save her life, they assured her she had nothing to worry about.
Then she died of preeclampsia.
"A year ago I asked Attorney General Jason Miyares for an expedited opinion on the legality of the Rosie’s being built in Henrico.

Maryland and Prince George's County officials contend it's illegal for President Trump to move the FBI to the Ronald Reagan building in DC, instead of to Greenbelt.
They're suing, and they're confident they'll prevail.

The effort to ban ICE cooperation agreements (known as 287(g)) in Maryland has gained Senate Presdient Bill Ferguson as a supporter.
ICE is “not something we can aid and abet,” Ferguson told me. The Senate is where the ban fell short last session.
