7:00 PM · Feb 12, 2026"The Trump administration has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight.
The judge: Trump appointee Nancy Brasel."

8:01 PM · Feb 12, 2026"Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.
One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest. This will have a huge impact on the availability of habeas for people who are still being arrested in Minnesota."

@_L1vY_ @ottergoose Homan is a lot smarter than Noem and Bonvino because he understands being out there so publicly grabbing, assaulting, and murdering people turns public opinion against them. I think he'll probably continue the same thing but try to keep a lower profile so people don't see the gestapo on the news every day. I think that might actually be worse than what they did in Minneapolis the last couple months

But YES they (ICE) are still in the streets, this is not an all or nothing statement or turn of events

@Jennifer @_L1vY_ @ottergoose Good metaphor for what President Vance will do when Trump inevitably strokes out.
