Minnesota not so nice

Meanwhile Kristi Noem’s thugs continue their rampage in violation of the Fourth Amendment,

approaching random Somalis in the streets of Minneapolis
and demanding proof of citizenship
and tear gassing anyone who protests.

They’ve gone door-to-door asking residents to direct them to homes of their Hmong neighbors
— hardly the targeted enforcement operation Noem and McLaughlin brag about.

Over the weekend ICE detained #ChongLy “Saly” #Thao,
💥breaking down his door and reportedly refusing to look at proof of his US citizenship.

Agents paraded him out in his underwear and sandals,

despite the brutal cold and snow,
cuffed him in the back of their vehicle,
and only returned him more than an hour later.

This is unquestionably an arrest without probable cause,
much less a warrant,

and so McLaughlin was dispatched to fire off her usual volley of lies.

She claimed that Thao “lives with […] two convicted sex offenders at the site of the operation,”
“matched the description of the targets,”
and “refused to be fingerprinted or facially ID’d.”

In fact, the alleged sex offenders do NOT reside in the house,
where Thao lives with his family,
ALL of whom are US citizens.

Refusing to be fingerprinted does not constitute probable cause for an arrest,
as the Justice Department itself concedes.

And the 55-year-old only “matched the description”
insofar as Thao and the purported targets are all Hmong men
— DHS tweeted out their mugshots repeatedly as it tried to contain the fallout from having kidnapped a US citizen from his living room on live television.

💯This chaos falls squarely at the feet of the Supreme Court,
which has thus far refused to put a stop to it.

If there is a ray of hope to be found,
it lies in their very thin conservative skins.

After vicious criticism of his
“Kavanaugh stops,”
Kavanaugh joined the majority in December
to bar Trump from federalizing the Illinois National Guard.

We can only hope that they find the moral opprobrium so unpleasant that they course correct before it’s too late.
