I have confirmed the gist of this report out of federal court in Minnesota today from a source familiar.

If you have more information about the District of Minnesota—either the court or the U.S. Attorney's Office—and how they are handling all of this, please reach out. I am at crg.32 on Signal.

It happened so fast it made everyone's head spin in the legal profession—and no doubt caused the panic that led other firms to capitulate.

It never really made sense.

I don't think AUSA Le is any hero for volunteering to take on these cases. She came from working directly for ICE.

And? This caseload is too much for one person.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

“In my profession, I have seen many people break down in grief, but that image of Elizabeth’s father will stay with me forever,” she said. “I watched him sit in his car, bury his head in his hands, and cry uncontrollably. Those are images you do not forget.”

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

Kicked in $50 today. This history needs to live somewhere other than threads/Teh Bad Place. It's valuable! Also, you have gotten a logistics degree from the school of life with this. "Just rent a semi bro" is my new shorthand for THINK BIGGER. This is amazing. For da kids!

Definitely! Will post more on that over the weekend, once I'm reasonably sure we'll have everything funded 😅

If you want to mark your calendar, it'll be December 9-12

The logistics of this have been a RIDE.
Like it started with this generous teacher who put out a call for help for her class and this guy she knew from college was like, "Sure. I can put some food in my Hyundai Elantra."

Now there are volunteers, a foundation, and Costco lore.

Join us! Feed kids!

FOODRAISER TIME!

Please give if you can, and signal boost regardless. This is a great program, particularly on-point now (given the food insecurity re SNAP), and it needs to be supported

Look at this squadron of heavily armed guys blowing up a door and entering a house like it's a cartel fortress and not a family home. This is fucking madness.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

Pete Hegseth Leads Christian Prayer Service in the Pentagon

Burn it all down

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth led a Christian prayer service in the Pentagon’s auditorium on Wednesday morning, during working hours, in which President Trump was praised as a divinely appointed leader."

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care?

There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

The Smithsonian PURGE: Trump Team Removes Artifacts of Black Resistance Critics warn: it’s not just history being erased—it’s identity.

“Black Press USA has learned that Trump officials are sending back exhibit items to their rightful owners and dismantling them—starting with the 1960 Woolworth’s lunch counter sit-in exhibit.”

There's all this economic uncertainty! Caused by, well, let's not mention who.

US “relocates” Iraqi refugee to Rwanda via new diplomatic arrangement A State Department cable indicates at least 10 more people will be subjected to the same.

SCOOP — The US sent Iraqi refugee Omar Ameen to Rwanda via new diplomatic relationship in which they've agreed to act as a "third country" for deportees unable to be safely returned to their country of origin, per cables reviewed by me.

This is first reported instance. Cable indicates more to come.

Crucial context here: @adamisacson.com suggests that there may be as many as 31 people imprisoned in CECOT whose names have never been made public.

Their families have literally no public acknowledgment or way of knowing where their loved one is being held.

That is a classic disappearance.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The United States government quite literally disappeared these people. It won't say where they are. We don't know. Their families do not know where they are. And they have essentially no recourse in U.S. courts because there are no records of their whereabouts."

Everyone from Trump down needs to go to prison. If you object that he is immune, no, he isn't.

The Miami Herald is doing remarkable public service journalism on deported Venezuelans and the crimes being committed against them. Almost like news institutions that are located in and around the communities they serve end up being accountable for serving those communities
