How did I get here? 😱 @realsmilyus on Twitter.

I discovered last month that HSI/ICE was sending grand jury subpoenas to some of my other accounts. I haven't yet been indicted, visited by Feds, or arrested. It’s unclear at this time why, who and what they may be targeting since the grand jury process is secret.

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities. Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

At least 6 new record highs in Minnesota today. I’ll post a graphic with all the official highs later, but I’ll leave you with this… Int’l Falls is at 95° right now. Its previous record was 83°. Breaking a record by that much is absurd.

Important point on the arrest of Judge Dugan: when you're going to charge someone who's plainly not a flight or violence risk, you inform them that you're filing the charges and have them come in with their lawyer to do the paperwork. But that's not authoritarian enough to please Patel and Bondi. /1

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel clip: "Multiple Milwaukee County judges confirmed that the arrest took place at the courthouse.

Franklyn Gimbel, a prominent Milwaukee defense attorney and former federal prosecutor, called Dugan’s arrest “outrageous.”

“A person who is a judge, who has a residence who has no problem being found, should not be arrested, if you will, like some common criminal,” Gimbel said. “And I'm shocked and surprised that the U.S. Attorney's Office or the FBI would not have invited her to show up and accept process if they're going to charge her with a crime.”

From my recent experience, the police took me to the local city jail (credit to HBPD, they were polite and professional the entire time), where they searched me and put me in a cell. Then I had to wait while they figured out what I was getting charged with (disrupting an assembly)

Many likely don't protest due to fear of being arrested because they don't know what happens during and after the arrest. Can you share or point people to resources on what happens when you're arrested and the process after? It may help people come to terms with it. I'm guilty of not knowing
