a disgustingly racist administration

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

The Justice Department said the agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the department in the Washington, D.C., area but provided no other details.

We've been boiled frogs for so long this never gets mentioned. But this violates DOJ policies that have been in place for decades, ones that Defense Attorney Todd Blanche said should have extended for the entirety of the time his client had declared his candidacy. (Tho I think this was DHS.)

Unnamed DHS spokesperson tells Reuters, “Today in the Washington, D.C. area, Homeland Security Investigations executed ​a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice.” That this is led by HSI is chilling.

Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say

POLITICAL RETRIBUTION Federal agents raided Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s DC home this morning. A sitting member of Congress who has repeatedly been targeted by Trump, now facing a federal investigation over immigration paperwork her father completed when she was a child. A CHILD.

Do my eyes deceive me, or does this article that mentions the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who was not an elected official, not mention that Rep. Ilhan Omar was physically attacked less than 10 months ago?!?!?!

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say.

I think we've gone past "pretty close to outright shouting" to outright shouting. She's currently excoriating DOJ for delay. "Do you have email accounts? Do you have cell phones? Do you have regular phones? Do you have the ability to get into a car and go to where plaintiffs are and tell them?"

as a huge miami vice fan — both original show and Mann's 2006 film — i am a very excited for this. i do hope that these stills aren't indicative of the color palette for the film though. give me pastels and neon please!

Trump’s feds raid home of Ilhan Omar as part of criminal investigation

One thing that’s difficult to explain to people who don’t live in DC, and are inclined to think we’re maybe being a touch hysterical, is how much this administration hates our city, is actively trying to ruin it, and wants to make every single person living in it as miserable as possible.

Judge Reyes' opening statement to the DOJ as the hearing begins: "I am thoroughly unamused right now."

Roger Parloff@rparloff.bsky.social · 6h ago

Judge Reyes has ordered cessation of all tree removal at the golf course until at least tomorrow. Also provides remote call-in number for hearing on temporary restraining order. She wants to know, inter alia, who ordered tree removal & how long govt attys have known of this plan.

Judge Reyes is pretty close to outright shouting at the DOJ right now. She is clearly *furious.*

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

Via Fox News, natch: A criminal raid, right before the election, based on some paperwork Omar’s dad filled out decades ago www.foxnews.com/politics/ilh...

Technically 212(k) has nothing to do with this situation at the moment, as Rep. Omar is a U.S. citizen. But if the Trump admin tried, and succeeded, to denaturalize on this specific allegation (which is highly unlikely), she'd return to having a green card and would be eligible for a 212(k) waiver.

I don’t think most people realize how bad this will be for the world.

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

WASHINGTON—Trump’s federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home over decades-old “immigration paperwork” her father filled out when she was a kid. No charges. Breaking DOJ norms. Over the cliff, folks.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...
