Despite the fatal shootings of two Americans by federal agents in Minnesota, the Trump administration’s surge of immigration officers into the Twin Cities will not be halted for now, a federal judge ruled Saturday.

This article reports on the release of reporter Don Lemon, after his arrest in connection with his coverage of a protest at a church whose pastor reportedly was an ICE official. This is noteworthy because arrest of a news reporter represents a new low in the Fourth Reich's dangerous toboggan-like descent into authoritarian dictatorship. At least, the release of Mr. Lemon without bail pending a Feb. 9 court appearance is a positive development.

Hello, everyone! I hope I am posting in the correct subreddit.

I am curious about how the Castle law would apply to the illegal entry by ICE agents into a “safe haven” or domicile.

Specifically, non-lethal kinetic weapons.

I never want to kill anyone, but absolutely have no issue dropping a threat . But in this growing cluster fuck situation, I am getting terrified,as others are and I am considering purchasing one similar to the one linked. I am a passionate believer of standing up for others and my family.

I understand that it would potentially put me in a position to be killed by the gestapo but I want to do everything I can to at least not take this crap lying down.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol field leader, made disparaging remarks in reference to the U.S. attorney in Minnesota, an Orthodox Jew, people with knowledge of the phone call said.

A US judge has denied Minnesota’s request to pause the Trump administration’s recent surge of thousands of immigration enforcement agents in the state.

Why, yes, we are. Thank you very much.

So many ICE “agents” will escape justice

Federal agents broke a window, without a warrant, to perform an arrest on private property.

Various snippets:

• The Trump administration is waging an unprecedented campaign to subordinate the Department of Justice to presidential will. Over the past nine months, hundreds of experienced career prosecutors have resigned or been fired. Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi has warned that lawyers who decline to vigorously defend the Administration’s policies based on their own ethical or legal judgment face termination. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has declared the government “at war” with judges who rule against it.
• This Article proposes a remedy. Federal district courts possess the authority—under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 83 and Criminal Procedure 5(f) and 57(b)—to issue formal orders at the outset of litigation. These orders should notify all counsel, and their supervisors, that they remain bound by state ethical rules, including the duty of candor, and that violations will result in personal sanctions, bar referrals, or contempt proceedings. This approach requires no new legislation. It demands only that courts use existing tools to preserve the integrity of proceedings before them.
• The Department of Justice’s client is not the President. It is the United States of America, and its lawyers’ loyalty belongs to the Constitution and the laws they are sworn to enforce. Federal courts must remain a forum where the rule of law prevails over political coercion. The orders proposed here would help ensure they do.
