BREAKING: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol sentenced to life prison for his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024 to suppress the opposition. Yoon is likely to appeal the verdict.

I don't mean to brag, but as best I can tell, Jeffrey Epstein had no awareness of my existence.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocks immigration agents from arresting people in Oregon without warrants unless there's a risk of escape.

ICE agents can't make warrantless arrests in Oregon unless there's a risk of escape, US judge rules

A judge says U.S. immigration agents in Oregon must stop arresting people without warrants unless they are likely to escape. U.S.

Prosecute turbo tax. Don’t tell me I can start for free at the discounted price of $49

We've long argued that Trump's long-term plan is to use ICE as an all-purpose paramilitary force to impose fascism extrajudicially. Reports are suggesting that ICE agents will be in Milan for the 2026 Olympic Games this February. What do the Olympics have to do with immigration? We'd like to know.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

At 26/Nicollet in what appears to be the beginnings of an autonomous zone, about a thousand people rally against ICE’s most recent killing of peaceful observer Alex Pretti earlier today. Chants blend “Fuck ICE, ICE out” with “No justice, no peace” to sound like “Fuck ICE, no peace.”

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

From Portland to Portland the ICE will melt and the fascists will fall Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I don’t often quote Marx, but this one is a banger: “Under No Pretext”

Once again, golden is a disgrace to us here in the 2nd district. Fuck Jared golden

Department of Homeland Security spending bill just passed 220-207 with the support of the following Democrats: • Henry Cuellar • Tom Suozzi • Vicente Gonzalez • Laura Gilles • Marie Gluesenkamp Perez • Jared Golden • Don Davis

What happened to all those “Don’t Tread On Me” flag wavers? Oh, wait a minute……….

After the failure of negotiations in Damascus, a general mobilization has begun in Rojava. Youth from northern Kurdistan appear To have crossed the border to join the defence. it feels like 2014 again, complete with horrific executions of SDF prisoners.

Everyone—of all walks of life and all political affiliations—must understand the urgency of standing up to ICE in the Twin Cities and around the country. Only a horizontal, decentralized, grassroots movement can rise to this challenge. We welcome everyone who is prepared to participate. 🖤🏴

There’s no situation in which the masked man ripping a child out of their crying mother’s arms isnt the bad guy. No context is needed, that guy is a demon

When this is all over, those who supported it will deny they ever did. Remember those people, and never let them lie about their complicity

Good morning, Mainers. Various posters have reported seeing ICE agents gathered at Hood Dairy in Portland, in convoy headed up from Boston, and in gen'l beginning to increase presence in Maine. Don't think it will only be Portland & Lewiston. A report from MN: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSmM...

I am not going to comment on the details of the recent reported ICE shooting in Minneapolis aside from saying that all extant details suggest a situation which could degenerate rapidly. Be careful.

16-year-old Arnoldo Bazan and his father were getting McDonald’s before school when immigration agents pulled them over. They slammed his father to the ground and put the teen in a chokehold. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” he said. Read the full story: https://propub.li/4qSnVkQ

Minnesota authorities should go by the video evidence, interview the witnesses, and get a warrant to arrest the ICE agent themselves, then.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe. @reuters.com

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.
