"photographs... depicting a single bullet hole through the front door of the north #Minneapolis home. Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway ā suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small #children sleep.
That supports what family members have said all along: A federal agent shot at them š through the front door"š

New activist checklist for anyone working to hold immigration agents accountable. I haven't read it yet (pretty overwhelmed with other stuff right now), but I have it on good authority that it's up-to-date and useful.
House passes bill to reopen government, sending it to #Trump.
Catie Edmondson, Feb. 3, 2026, 12:39 p.m. ET
"The House on Tuesday passed a spending package to end the partial government shutdown and keep the Department of Homeland Security running while Democrats and President Trump negotiate over restrictions on the administrationās immigration crackdown.
"The vote was 217 to 214 to send the measure to Mr. Trumpās desk, where he was expected to quickly sign the agreement to reopen major parts of the government since funding lapsed on Saturday But under the deal, the money for the Department of Homeland Security lasts just through the end of next week."

Just copying and pasting this because there's no possible way to improve on it:
ARRESTED: Border Patrol agent Alfredo Mancillas, Jr., 32, a Border Patrol Agent from Corpus Christi, TX, was arrested in St. Paul, MN on Jan 27, 2026 slumped behind the wheel of his car and covered in vomit. Mancillas was charged with driving while intoxicated.
This analyis of the #AlexPretti murder by #CBP agents calls it a "systems failure" and misses the key factor: The agents' complete indifference (at best) to the lives of Pretti and other protesters. Yes, they clearly had no idea how to manage the situation in a safe way, but that's because THEY DIDN'T CARE. https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/119688
"The VP took to X to respond to RI Rep S Magaziner, who argued thatšØmany of the families #ICE & #CBP are detaining are #immigrants who entered the country legally.
VancešØattacked thešfamily of #Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-yr-old who was detained by federal immigration agents in Minnesota along with his father, falsely claiming that the family entered the US unlawfully."
Trump, Vance, CAB...: amoral griftersā¼ļø

āItās unlikely that #Congress would want to leave a patchwork of different #state regulations & different remedies,ā Vikram Amar said.
Link to 1987 law review article āOf Sovereignty and Federalismā by Akhil Reed Amarā¶ https://akhilamar.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Of-Sovereignty-and-Federalism-2.pdf

As for the part of the #law that lets people sue #federal agents for violations of the #Illinois #Constitution, the 2 professors wrote, āthat provision wonāt standā under the #SupremacyClause.
Still, Vikram Amar said, such #StateLaws can serve a larger purpose.
āIn the spirit of #federalism. Not only can #states experiment in this way, but doing so would likely lead #Congress to address the problem,ā he said.

Citing Professor Amarās article, Judge Walker concluded that ānothing would stop a #state from creating a new cause of action allowing plaintiffs to directly allege federal constitutional violations.ā
The #Illinois #law did that, but in imperfect fashion, acc/to a critique from Vikram David Amar, a law professor at UC Davis (& Akhil Amarās brother), & Jason Mazzone, a law professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
