JUST IN: A federal judge has temporarily blocked ICE from deporting five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father or transferring them away from the Texas region they're currently held in.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

[City of Minneapolis @CityMinneapolis]

We are aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in North Minneapolis. We are working to confirm additional details.

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.

ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

Please be safe Minneapolis.

From a source close to the investigation who has seen the hitlist:

The suspect’s list targets prominent pro-choice individuals in Minnesota, including many Democratic lawmakers who have been outspoken about pro-choice policy positions.
