So many grim stories of dreadful abuses. Here's just one about a family at the detention center in Dilley, Texas run by the private prison firm CoreCivic. An eleven year old girl has lost part of her hearing. Her mother described a worker mocking children waiting for medicine in long lines.

One mother and father from Russia, who have been at Dilley since October, said in a sworn declaration and in an interview that when they arrived, their 11-year-old daughter had an earache, but the medical staff did a cursory examination and dismissed them. They returned repeatedly as their daughter developed a fever of 104 degrees, only to be told her problems were caused by allergies, they said. She was eventually given ear drops and antibiotics, but she lost some of her hearing and was still in pain as her family noticed pus coming from her ear. As of last week, her hearing had still not fully returned, they said. The mother, whose name is Oksana, said that patients at Dilley who need medicine often must wait in long lines, outside in the evening. One worker mocked the children crying in line, she said. Oksana and other detainees spoke on the condition that their last names be withheld because they were afraid of retaliation.

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that it needs to send the military into American cities because of the unique danger faced by federal agents. But, according to ICE's own data, the leading cause of death for agents is COVID-19. You can read the full report here: tinyurl.com/mwc85xf5

A bar graph listing the causes of death listed on ICE's wall of honor. COVID-19 and cancers linked to 9/11 account for 75 percent of fatalities in ICE's two decade history, according to the agency's record. COVID-19: 15 deaths September 11-related illness: 7 deaths Stuck by car: 1 death Shot in Mexico: 1 death Shot by US-born fugitive: 1 death Heat-related injuries sustained during training exercise: 1 death Heart attack during foot pursuit: 1 death Dengue fever: 1 death Accidental discharge of a service weapon: 1 death Source: ICE.gov and original reporting by Noah Lanard.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
