  1. The #Army placed the units on prepare-to-deploy orders in case “violence” in #Minnesota escalates, officials said, characterizing the move as “prudent planning.” It is not clear whether any of them will be sent to the state, the officials said, speaking like some others on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive #military planning.

  6. The #Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to #Minnesota, #defense officials told WaPo late Saturday, after #Trump threatened to invoke the #InsurrectionAct in response to “unrest” [dissent] there.
    
The soldiers are assigned to 2 #infantry #battalions with the #Army’s #11thAirborne Division, which is based in Alaska & specializes in #ColdWeather operations.

  11. #Trump this morning cited “attacks” against #immigration agents in #Minnesota as a reason for potentially invoking the #InsurrectionAct to quell #protests. But a review of the federal #judiciary’s central database on Thursday afternoon indicates that NO federal charges—such as assaulting an officer—have been filed against ANYONE in the state in connection with the crackdown over the past week.

  12. #Trump admin ofcls have described anti-#ICE demonstrators in #Minneapolis, including one shot dead by an agent last week, as domestic terrorists. #StephenMiller took that rhetoric a step further on a right-wing talk show Thursday, describing the protests as “an insurgency against the federal government” & an “insurrection.” Earlier, Trump threatened to invoke the #InsurrectionAct to deploy #troops to quash the #protests.

  13. Via Tennessee Holler:

    “They chased him, he got home & when we closed the door they shot him.”

    #Minnesota orgs/electeds say this is the family calling the police with #ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & children inside

  14. For those of you who have never lived somewhere you need to shovel snow —

    Snow shovels are designed to be super lightweight because they are used to lift heavy snow. You don’t need the extra weight of a heavy shovel breaking your back.

    I’m not saying it’s a good idea to hit someone with a snow shovel, but it doesn’t warrant #shooting in “self defense”.

  15. These are NOT “professional agitators” they are concerned residents & neighbors who are being harassed & violently attacked by untrained trigger happy #ICE & #CBP agents.

    While presidents have invoked the #InsurrectionAct, only 2 have done so without the cooperation & at the request of the state’s governor.

  16. Trump’s lie filled statement:

    “If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law & stop the professional agitators & insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of ICE, who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, & quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State,” #Trump posted on social media.

  17. #Trump made the threat after another #shooting by a federal officer of a man in the leg in #Minneapolis on Wednesday after being attacked with a snow shovel & broom [NOT an equal #UseOfForce]. The incident further heightened the sense of fear & anger radiating across the city a week after an #immigration agent fatally shot #ReneeNicoleGood in the head.

  18. “At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of #authority that would allow the #military to execute the laws in #Illinois,” the court said in its unsigned order.

    And of course, Conservative Justices Samuel #Alito, #ClarenceThomas & Neil #Gorsuch dissented.

  19. A federal appeals court in Washington ruled Wednesday that the #NationalGuard in #WashingtonDC since August by #Trump could remain while the court considered the legality of the deployment.

    The decision prolongs Trump’s most expansive effort so far to use the#military to #police a #Democratic city, after smaller deployments in several states were halted or wound down, as a result of orders by federal judges around the #US.

  20. They are then aggressively questioned & searched, with no inkling that the roads they drove put them on law enforcement’s radar.

    Once limited to policing the nation’s boundaries, the #BorderPatrol has built a #surveillance system stretching into the country’s interior that can monitor ordinary Americans’ daily actions & connections for anomalies instead of simply targeting wanted suspects.

  21. “Riots Raging”: The *Misleading* Story #FoxNews Told About #Portland Before Trump Sent #Troops

    When #Trump told reporters on Sept 5 he’d started looking at sending the #NationalGuard to Portland, #Oregon, he said it was because of something he saw on TV.

    He said the city was being destroyed by paid agitators. “What they’ve done to that place, it’s like living in hell,” he said….

  22. The #WestVirginia Citizen Action Group then filed a lawsuit claiming Morrisey exceeded his #authority.

    Under #state #law, the group argued, the governor could deploy the #NationalGuard out of state only for certain purposes, such as responding to a #NaturalDisaster or another state’s #emergency request.

    Morrisey’s office has argued the deployment was authorized under federal law.

  23. A judge on Monday allowed the continued deployment of more than 300 #WestVirginia #NationalGuard members to #WashingtonDC.

    Kanawha County Circuit Judge Richard D. Lindsay made the ruling after hearing arguments in a lawsuit by a civic organization.

    #Republican Gov. Patrick Morrisey authorized the Guard’s deployment in August to support #Trump’s *crime-fighting* efforts in the nation’s capital.

  24. Agents issued one warning about #TearGas but did not deploy it. They fired #PepperBalls instead toward #demonstrators before #Chicago police arrived & cleared the roadway, allowing the vehicles with agents & detainees to leave.

    Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez (33rd) was holding a staff meeting in her ward office around the corner when she heard whistles & ran out the door.

  25. A reporter spotted one agent without a #BodyCamera. Another agent used a GoPro camera in addition to a body camera. Some agents had numbered identifiers on patches on their uniforms. Others had identifying numbers written on tape.

    The Sun-Times reported Friday that several federal #immigration agents have not worn identifying information, against a judge’s order.
