These days when DHS and ICE come knocking, they remotely take out your WiFi beforehand so that you can’t livestream the interaction, and to disable Ring cameras. From ⁦Radley Balko⁩’s substack. H/t ⁦Mazin Sidahmed⁩

Every part of this tragedy was predictable. Which means that every part was preventable. Stop the ICE raids before more people die.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "[JD Vance]'s comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Keith Porter, a 43-year-old father of two, was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve. His family says there’s no proof he fired at anyone. DHS claims the agent acted in self-defense but offers no evidence to support that. Keith's family and the community deserve

"Praxis" is a Thiel-connected startup aiming to build settler-colonial network states ... chew on that this morning.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Folks at the top will try to characterize our outrage as anti-American, but we know better. There’s nothing more American than speaking up when the rights and freedoms of people are trampled upon. For Renee Nicole Good, for all of us, I’ll say it loud and clear: No more ICE.

Here’s the ICE officer’s cell phone footage, which is consistent with previous footage. The phone shakes when he abandons filming to move and fire his gun. The administration’s effort to mislead the public by claiming this somehow justifies shooting Renee Good is appalling.

If you are wondering why Jonathan Ross was holding his iPhone in one hand and gun in the other, one possibility comes from Drew Harwell reporting. ICE is under pressure from the WH to create as much content as possible. washingtonpost.com/technology/int…

This is the question that presses upon us now, and it is not one that can be answered by courts, agencies or elections alone: Who have we become? bit.ly/3L7VsIJ

I really hope the sped up education some Americans are getting about their own gov will stick and not be bowled over by whatever other bullshit distraction the Spectacle serves up.

Vigil for Renee Good here in front of Wisconsin’s capitol building right now:

Been thinking quite a lot this week about one of the very first cases I tracked of ICE detaining a U.S. citizen A year ago, ICE agents detained a 20 YO they said swerved his car at them But local Utah police checked security footage. And it wasn’t true ksltv.com/local-news/uni…

In a deadly start to the year, ICE announced the agency’s THIRD detention death of 2026 late Friday night. People are dying in detention at a rate of one every three days right now. open.substack.com/pub/detentionk…

Goebbels could not have improved on this; beyond terrifying. Time for Europe, including the U.K., to prepare people for what is coming.
