  1. “In the long arc of our immigration enforcement history, Minnesota will be the major inflection point,”
    Muzaffar Chishti, a senior fellow with the non-partisan Migration Policy Institute, told the Guardian.

    “Accountability, at least the beginning of accountability, started in Minnesota after the death of Pretti.”

    Now, the reckoning over ICE’s recent shooting of #Sosa #Celis has marked a stark shift for the agency.

    Instead of applauding the officers as heroes in the face of clear evidence casting doubt on their statements,
    as Kristi Noem, the recently ousted homeland security secretary, used to do,
    #Todd #Lyons, the ICE director, has said the officers involved were put on administrative leave and may face dismissal or criminal prosecution themselves for making false statements.

    “Lying under oath is a serious federal offense,” an ICE spokesperson said in an emailed statement to the Guardian.
    “The US attorney’s office is actively investigating these false statements.
    Upon conclusion of the investigation, the officers may face termination of employment, as well as potential criminal prosecution.”

    The shift has cast a spotlight on accountability at an agency that gained notoriety for its recklessness and impunity over a year-long campaign targeting Democratic-led cities including Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Chicago.

    “I would characterize it as baby steps and symbolic oversight, at least so far,”
    said Gabe Sanchez, a researcher at the Brookings Institution.
    “But it would appear that there is some movement toward accountability.
    We’re moving in the right direction.”

    The question now hanging over the agency is whether those changes will signal a real shift toward greater accountability and transparency,
    or simply a softer tone coupled with goodwill gestures.

  8. The chief federal judge in Minnesota ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear in court on Friday
    to explain why he should not be held in contempt
    for violating court orders.

    The order by Judge Patrick J. Schiltz
    — which he acknowledged was “an extraordinary step”
    — adds to the administration’s legal fights

    while it also faces public and political pressure over the aggressive tactics of its agents,
    who have shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in three weeks.

    Trump shook up the leadership of the Minnesota enforcement operation on Monday
    by planning to pull its director of on-the-ground enforcement,
    Gregory Bovino, according to two U.S. officials.

    That came after two days of outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti,
    who was shot and killed by federal agents over the weekend.

    Trump said he was sending #Tom #Homan, his border czar,
    to oversee the operations and that Mr. Homan would report directly to him.

    ⭐️The order by Judge Schiltz, issued late Monday,
    summons the ICE acting director
    #Todd #Lyons to appear before him on Friday and explain why he should not be held in contempt for violating court orders arising from the Trump administration’s crackdown.

    “The court’s patience is at an end,” he wrote.

    But the judge did give Mr. Lyons an out:
    👉He said he would cancel the hearing if ICE quickly released an immigrant whom he said had been wrongly detained by agents.

    The crackdown has prompted a flood of legal challenges,
    including from state and local officials
    ⚠️who asked another federal judge on Monday to declare that the surge of some 3,000 immigration agents had effectively become an #unconstitutional #occupation.

    The Trump administration also defended itself on Monday at a hearing over the state’s effort to investigate the death of Mr. Pretti.

    The shooting of Mr. Pretti
    — who was killed while being pinned down by agents, according to videos of the encounter
    — sparked outage across the political spectrum,
    including among some Republicans who have called for the Trump administration to change course.

    Trump met on Monday with #Kristi #Noem, the homeland security secretary, and #Corey #Lewandowski, her top aide, in the Oval Office for more than two hours,
    according to two people briefed on the meeting.

    The president did not suggest in the meeting that Ms. Noem and Mr. Lewandowski were at risk of losing their jobs, those people said.

    But it was another sign of Trump’s concern about the reaction to the killing of Mr. Pretti and the fatal shooting of another Minneapolis resident, Renee Good, by a federal agent on Jan. 7.

  9. Somehow I missed the Scaners put out their 3rd LP last year.

    thescaners.bandcamp.com/album/

    I was bummed a while back when I thought they were messing with their sound, but 'The Scaners LP3' still has the same weirdo synth punk vibe I've always dug from these guys. If you haven't heard their first two LPs, they're both killer, too. First discovered em years back when they played a show with the Briefs. 🔥
