"Homan: 'Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed.' "

"He literally says in the clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota 'quick reaction forces' — a military term — to go after 'agitators.' Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior 'deescalation' was a ruse and ICE is still operational."

"The official White House reason for why they even went there in the first place is supposedly to hunt for childcare fraud by nonwhites so as far as I know nobody is even pretending that ICE and CBP have anything to do with immigration enforcement/administration anymore."

Until ICE is actually out of Minnesota, I don’t believe them that they’re leaving.

Until homan stops mumbling I won't believe anything I hear him say

[_l1vy_@mstdn.social]

@fsinn Yeah he admitted they're still keeping occupation forces there

[nilajones@zeroes.ca]

@_L1vY_ @atrupar

That's a big OR

[clarablackink@writing.exchange]

@_L1vY_ @fsinn I suspect it just means that they're switching tactics because the pushback is stronger than expected.

Which is different than leaving.

[nini@oldbytes.space]

@L1vY@mstdn.social Right, to start it elsewhere instead because they've used Minnesota as their proving grounds for what tactics to use next? We know their plans, this is just one phase in controlling people through terrorism.

"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."

"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."

"In other words, long enough that habeas petitions can be filed on their behalf in Minnesota before they're whisked off to an immigration detention facility somewhere in the Fifth Circuit (where, under that court's current law, they wouldn't be eligible for a bond hearing)."
