đŸ„łđŸŽ‰Yay! We won Minnesota! ICE is out! Somali people will no longer be stopped by ICE for being Somali! Now they're back to being stopped by cops for being Black!

5 year olds will no longer be detained for being immigrants like Liam Ramos! We're back to detaining 4 year olds after shooting their dad!

@jonesmurphy @bweller good point. It's easy to forget that trump is just the symptom, not the root cause.

@bweller @hyc no, we're being asset-stripped by a very large group of suicidally bigoted voters who just do not care about anything but their bigotry & hatred. They are the ones doing this. They were here before Trump and they will keep doing damage after he's gone. They caused Trump.

During President Trump’s first term, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi provided Omar with 24-hour Capitol Police protection after she was repeatedly targeted at rallies. Omar has since said that Speaker Mike Johnson has not offered her similar protection, even as threats against her have increased.

"This is one of dozens of court orders with which respondents have failed to comply in recent weeks," Schiltz, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in his order Monday.

He added later: “The Court’s patience is at an end. The Court acknowledges that ordering the head of a federal agency to personally appear is an extraordinary step, but the extent of ICE’s violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed.”

Sergio Amezcua, a pastor who said he's spoken to Liam's mother, said she "was terrified" during the incident.

"ICE agents were trying to use the baby for her to come out of her house," Amezcua said on CNN. "But the neighbors step[ped] up. Neighbors advised her not to do it."

“This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt,” Sala told RTL Radio 102.

Here’s Spain, taking a very different approach to immigration than most other countries.

Spain to Offer Legal Status to 500,000 Undocumented Migrants

The socialist government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is an outlier on migration policy. While other countries have moved to tighten entry requirements and expel undocumented migrants, Sánchez has welcomed them, a stance also aimed at countering the aging of one of the world’s longest-lived populations.

“I’ll say it clearly. No one is expendable in Spain. On the contrary, we lack people,” Sánchez said earlier this month. “Faced with the choice between being a closed and poor nation, Spain is opening itself to the world to ensure prosperity.”

Talking about the network’s editorial positioning, Weiss said that CBS News was “for the center, we’re for the center-right, and we’re for the center-left. And that is the vast majority of the company – that’s who we need to reach.”<--She's lying again. She's a racist, sexist, generally bigoted right winger. The US center is horrible. It's people like John Fetterman and Susan Collins, 2faced bigots.

"Some countries may also follow the US’s departure from Paris: Israel is reportedly considering such a move."<--Racists are overwhelmingly global warming deniers and accelerationists. They don't care about anything but their bigotry and hatred. These are suicidally stupid people.

The slowdown in population growth has major implications for the U.S. economy. Immigrants have accounted for much of the growth in the workforce in recent years. Immigrants also boost demand. The Trump administration has suggested that widespread deportations have helped take pressure of rents in communities with a large concentration of foreign-born families

"The group also highlighted droughts, heatwaves and floods linked to global warming, as well as the failure of countries to adopt meaningful agreements to fight global warming – singling out Donald Trump’s efforts to boost fossil fuels and hobble renewable energy production."<--It's not just Trump. Republican voters are overwhelmingly global warming deniers and accelerationists. So are a great many conservatives across the West. These people are dangerous a$$holes.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has not issued a statement on the shooting and his office has not responded to ABC News' requests for comment.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune issued a statement on Monday that did not directly address the shooting but applauded the White House dispatching border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota in hopes of "turning down the temperature," while encouraging Minnesota officials to work with the Trump administration....

Hoekstra’s warning is the latest attempt by a U.S. official to pressure another country to comply with the administration’s desires, specifically those related to national security. It comes on the heels of Trump threatening to impose tariffs on European allies for not supporting a U.S. deal to acquire Greenland.
