JUST IN: ICE agents in Minnesota arrested an employee at the St. Louis Park Homewood Suites — where they were staying to help carry out Operation Metro Surge.
A federal judge just ordered the man's release.

The American Nurses Association says it's "deeply disturbed and saddened to learn of the death of Alex Pretti."
"ANA condemns violence in our communities. The seriousness of this incident and others demand transparency and accountability. ANA calls for a full, unencumbered investigation, and urges that findings be shared promptly and clearly so Alex's loved ones and the public have answers."
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
Alex and tens of thousands of Minnesotans have boldly defended their neighbors against the murderous occupation of an American city by the federal government. I am enraged and heartbroken for Alex, his family, Minneapolis, and America.
Never in the history of Western democratic politics has a single government contained so many proven and brazen liars who lie so often and so effortlessly and so demonstrably.
.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th?
Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.
On January 5th, President Biden was seen leaving Tatiana Schlossberg's funeral. The service was held at The Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, in New York's Upper East Side.
Five years ago, an armed mob stormed the United States Capitol. Inspired by lies and hatred spewed by Donald Trump, they used brutal violence and intimidation in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. And since returning to office, Trump pardoned the insurrectionists who betrayed their country.
January 6, 2021, showed us how fragile our democracy is. We, the people, must fight back against Donald Trump and his cronies as they sow chaos and fear among the American people. We cannot stand idly by as they strip our fundamental freedoms, enrich themselves on the back of working people, and destroy our reputation around the globe. And we must continue to do the hard work to ensure our democracy survives.
Let me be clear: Certifying the presidential election on January 6, 2025, was one of the most challenging moments in my career. Yet I never — not for one second — considered any other action. Because the American people had spoken. And in our nation, the power is and must always be with the people.
Why is the victim being pressed to concede while murderer sets expectations? There’s not a single way to portray this as legal.
If ukrainian borders are questioned, everything else - from Outer Manchuria to Taiwan is questioned as well.
There’s a peace prize.. not a surrender award. Someone pls explain that on Penn Ave
Kamala Harris on Jon Stewart's podcast: "I mean, are you fucking kidding me? This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that, that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now?"
Trump’s priority is his $350M ballroom, and Republican Members of Congress are on a never-ending vacation while millions of Americans lose access to SNAP.
They don’t have a plan because they don’t care. Their loyalty is to their cult leader and the billionaires funding him.
