I've prosecuted acts of political violence. This rhetoric stimulates dark corners of troubled minds to commit awful, deadly acts. Cut it out @WinsomeSears, and I'd ask that you publicly disclaim these words tomorrow, so that they don't end up as a trial exhibit some day.

This seems to be a very effective nonviolent delay tactic for ICE raids. Any time you can identify a bottleneck in their process — where they have to be in the same place at a consistent time of day — you can interdict their route

It's vital to emphasize that the GOP has been calling for violence against their political opponents for more than a decade now, led by Trump. The violence keeps escalating, and they keep doing it because they're getting results.

Hey for tomorrow's protests, make sure your vehicle registration is up to date and your tag is current. Double check your headlights and tail lights. Any protective gear or even your kids' sports equipment, put it in the trunk or cover it with a blanket (see "plain view" exception).

We’ve heard reports of guidance for DHS to “pause” raids on agricultural worksites— and we’re skeptical. As long as Border Patrol and ICE are sweeping through farm worker communities making chaotic arrests like they did TODAY, they’re still hunting down farm workers.
