DSA is proud to endorse Cori Bush for Congress. Cori is taking her seat back to fight for the world St Louisians deserve—one where our taxes pay for our communities, not war.

The person ICE agents shot in North Minneapolis last week was half a foot taller and 50 pounds heavier than the person they were targeting, but both had “short brown hair” so they chased the wrong guy for miles, shot him, and then lied about it.

DHS deleted this one because:
-The family was driving home and got blocked.
-ICE deployed flashbangs and tear gas INSIDE the car.
-The 6-month old child stopped breathing and had to be rushed to hospital.
DHS did NO investigation & rushed to lie to defend the officers.
🚨BREAKING: In Columbia Heights, MN, ICE agents are going door to door and targeting people based on how they sound, demanding proof of citizenship, then human trafficking them when they refuse to comply with unlawful orders.
In the video, a man is standing by a garage on private property. ICE agents approach him and demand identification.
The man correctly states that he does not have to show ID. He is not suspected of a crime, he is on private property, and the agents have no warrant…
He then asks why he is required to provide documentation.
An agent then says the quiet part out loud… “Because of your accent.”
The man points out the obvious, “You have an accent too.”
The agent then asks, “Where were you born?”
The man responds, “Where were you born?”
At that point, the agent escalates. He orders, “Put your hands behind your back,” then physically grabs the man, shoves him against the garage, and restrains him without a warrant, without probable cause, and without reasonable suspicion of a crime, or even knowing who he is.
Another agent steps directly in front of the camera to obstruct recording, while another joins in assaulting the man on private property.
What’s illegal here is visible on video:
• Detaining someone on private property without a warrant
• Demanding identification without reasonable suspicion
• Targeting someone based solely on accent or perceived national origin
• Using force to enforce an unlawful order
• Obstructing a lawful recording of law enforcement
The man is then taken against his will so ICE can “prove his status.”
That is not a lawful stop, it is human trafficking under color of law, seizing a person first and transporting them elsewhere to investigate their identity later, all for profit.
This is not border enforcement. This is not public safety.
This is government agents abducting people based on how they sound, then trafficking them through detention systems for funding, quotas, and “processing.”
And the question isn’t whether this man had legal status.
The question is how long Americans will tolerate federal agents kidnapping people on private property, calling it “verification,” and pretending the Constitution no longer applies.
.@WesleyBell4MO, you joined Republicans to express ‘gratitude’ for ICE just last year. ICE is attacking communities all over the country, including St. Louis.
ICE must be abolished to stop this violence.
The government smearing an American as a “domestic terrorist” after agents of the state murdered her, is stomach churning in a way I can’t really describe.
Impacted programs include required liberal arts classes in the “Core Curriculum,” first-year writing, and STEM labs. CU is attempting to hire scabs–but it's unclear how it can offer enough classes for undergrads to fulfill degree requirements. Class sizes are also increasing.
[BREAKING] Since May, Columbia admin has been secretly working to eliminate graduate teaching jobs while negotiating with SWC for a new contract. Out of ~200 instructor jobs in a regular year, we know of only ~10 that have been appointed.
