"Now, new documents confirm in the government’s own words that what prompted the raid was more pedestrian: allegations that immigrants were squatting in the complex.

And the landlord had given federal officials, who were already targeting immigrants in Chicago, the blessing to search the building."

"For months, the Trump administration has justified its dramatic midnight raid on a Chicago apartment complex by saying that it had intelligence that the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But officials have provided no evidence to back up the claim."

"The inventory lists over a dozen different types of 'crowd control” munitions, things like tear gas, stun grenades and pepper spray. These weapons are intended for protesters, not to facilitate immigration enforcement.

'Fucking overkill,' a homeland security official said of the inventory. 'I’ve never seen this amount of shit being used.'”

"The masks may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to to make it easier for them to do unspeakable things."

"Border czar Tom Homan’s announcement today that 700 federal agents will be withdrawn from Minnesota—over a third of those deployed—may come just in time to avert a showdown.

According to a homeland security munitions inventory leaked to me, by mid-January, the feds had amassed some 35,000 weapons in Minneapolis."

"ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed."

Heather Cox Richardson looks at Stephen Miller's "call for a 'labor class' excluded from citizenship and a voice in government" and explores its close parallels to the call of slaveholding elites in the US prior to the Civil War to defend slavery and uphold a hierarchical, male-dominated white Christian society in which some people have rights and humanity and others are excluded.

As Fanon says, it is not uncommon for some members of oppressed minority communities to internalize the negative self-image imposed on them by their oppressors, and to turn against their own group to curry favor with their oppressors. This an old, sad dynamic, and not in the least surprising, given how recurrent it is.

"Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Mike Johnson — they’re not trying to keep their officers safe. As Phil Bump laid out the other day, that simply has not happened.

They’re trying to hide how much even their deeply racist project is helpless without brown labor."

"There are a lot of reasons Stephen Miller’s goons wear masks. To terrify the communities they invade. To make it harder to shame them. To make it harder to tie them to other crimes they may have committed."

"If politics is downstream of culture, yesterday’s cultural leaders are sending a resounding message to the regime: ICE must go.

Several artists at the Grammy Awards, including Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny, used their acceptance speeches to blast ICE and appeal to the American public to end support for its activities."
