The official, a unit chief who directly oversaw more than 100 employees who evaluated thousands of #ICE applicants, was so troubled by what he saw that he outlined these concerns not to his superiors, but in a formal #whistleblower complaint to the Office of #InspectorGeneral in the #DHS.

#Minnesota AG Keith Ellison is asking a federal judge to bar the sheriff in Cameron County, #Texas, from releasing #ICE agent Christian Castro, & to order TX Gov #GregAbbott to sign his #extradition warrant so that MN officers can take custody.
MN officials have clashed with the #FederalGovernment over who has #jurisdiction to investigate & prosecute federal officers for on-duty conduct. Ellison is a Democrat & Abbott is a Republican & an ally of #Trump.

#Trump border czar, #TomHoman, has warned that there will be more “bloodshed” unless #Democrats “shut their mouths.”
Following the back-to-back fatal #shootings [ #murders ] of a Colombian native in Maine & a Mexican man in Houston by #ICE, the Trump admin has tried to shift the blame onto Democratic leaders who have been educating #immigrants on their #rights.

How a #DHS #shooting of a third #US #citizen went unnoticed for months
No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed #RubenRayMartinez until it was revealed in a public records request.#Trump #law #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #StateSponsoredTerrorism #Constitution #CivilRights #UseOfForce #ExcessiveForce #PoliceBrutality #AbuseOfPower #fascism #tyranny #ICE #CBP #Sturmabteilung

In an extraordinary #court filing, the top #federal #prosecutor in #Minnesota acknowledged Thursday that officials had “provided incorrect information” [lied] about a #shooting by an #immigration agent last month.
The prosecutor, Daniel N. Rosen, asked a judge to #dismiss charges against a man who was wounded in that shooting, as well as another man who had been accused of attacking the agent.

Fleming represents the two men — a Venezuelan man & a Mexican man both in the country illegally — in the ongoing litigation that claims the #FederalGovernment continues to violate the 2022 Castañon Nava settlement agreement, which limits #ICE's ability to #arrest people without #warrants or #ProbableCause.

The records confirm "the worst thoughts that we had about the operation," Mark Fleming, the associate director of federal litigation at the National Immigrant Justice Center, told NPR.
"This is the most brazen #unconstitutional #UseOfForce in an operation that I've seen in my entire career," he said. "They have no legal authority to be addressing purported #squatters; that is not within the purview of the #FederalGovernment."

Quickly after the Sept 30, 2025, raid, #DHS published a dramatic video of the operation showing agents with their #guns drawn, some rappelling out of a #BlackHawkHelicopter onto the roof, & leading people [including children & people not dressed] away with their hands zip-tied.
On multiple occasions, the #Trump admin has said the building was frequented by members of #TrenDeAragua , a Venezuelan gang.

Court records show #Chicago #immigration raid was about #squatters, not Venezuelan #gangs
Newly revealed arrest records show that a high-profile immigration raid on a South Shore Chicago apartment building last year that became a symbol of #Trump's harsh immigration tactics actually targeted squatters, not Venezuelan gang members.

The #Trump admin promptly sued #Illinois, saying the #law violated the #Constitution’s #SupremacyClause, which generally prohibits #states from enacting measures at odds with #FederalLaw. Whether to allow lawsuits against #federal agents for violating the federal #Constitution, the admin’s complaint said, “is a policy choice for Congress.” [ridiculous]
Professor Amar said aspects of the IL #StateLaW might be problematic, but that its core idea is sound.

His central point for present purposes was that #state #legislatures can authorize lawsuits against #federal officials for violating the #Constitution. If that is right, such #StateLaws would close an odd gap in #FederalLaw that—broadly speaking—allows such suits against state & local officials, like police officers, but not against #federal ones, like #ICE agents.

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.
