"Liam is five years old. He wasn’t hiding and his family wasn’t evading the law. They entered through a legal port of entry and applied for asylum, checked in repeatedly with immigration authorities and did everything the United States asked of them — because that is what the law required."

"And because they did everything right, ICE knew exactly where to find them.
Agents didn’t have to investigate. They didn’t have to dismantle a criminal network or put themselves at risk. They simply showed up at a home and detained a preschooler whose backpack was still on his shoulders, despite having no deportation order and no allegation of criminality."

But what ICE did was not an error. It was the policy working as designed."

"It need not detract from the specificity of Liam and his suffering to say that his arrest and the photos of it that were released by the school that wants him back, are a potent symbol of what Trump’s ICE raids are doing, both to Minneapolis and to the country as a whole."

/24"From 2010-2020, nearly 80% of all deportations were initiated at or near the U.S.-Mexico border. During the COVID-19 pandemic, that number jumped to 98%, as both the Trump and Biden administrations utilized Title 42, a public health statute that allowed the government to rapidly deport recently arrived migrants."

Horrifying news just coming out this morning of armed and masked federal agents wrestling a man to the ground in Minneapolis and then shooting him several times. Reports I'm seeing in various places say that he has died.
There's video that caught the whole horrific scene.

Americans may not know about the experiences of migrants who are quickly deported near the border, but it is harder to ignore recent images of people snatched up within their own neighborhoods."

The trouble is the White House doesn't give a shit, about the man in the street,the farmer, middle America, veterans, pick your group ; from what I've seen anything non maga I haven't said non republican because there are some decent ones out there,
automatically gets shut down by the Press Secretary because it's contrary to the narrative not reality. Just a view from the UK side of the pond. -

"'Meaning, trying to identify them via social media, running their license plates if available, and running a criminal history check,' the official explained.
The directive is part of a sweeping, nationwide effort by U.S. immigration authorities to identify anyone and everyone trying to film their conduct."

"Video circulating on social media appeared to show agents using chemical irritants and flash-bang devices as crowds gathered at the scene."
Attorneys for the family say they were asylum-seekers who were pulled over without a warrant and did not have a final order for removal.
