    In the past month, Homan told reporters, 158 people have been arrested for interfering with federal law enforcement, a crime for which penalties range from one to 20 years in prison. Of those cases, he claimed, 85 have been accepted for prosecution. The rest are still pending.

    Over five a day…

    And it seems a safe assumption they’re all citizens, or else they’d have just been deported

      We’re a police state. Whenever you hear Republicans or neoliberal complain about anything in the justice system is because the system isn’t draconian enough. Chuck and Jeffries are bought by the prison industrial complex.

    Gee I thought Walz assured us that Homan would be more professional!

    I’m fucking sick as shit of Democrats rolling the fuck over to continue giving fascists the benefit of the doubt.

      What he said was that holman was at least willing to talk (which is a low bar). Walz made no assurances that I am aware of. I agree with your second sentence either way though.

    I hope all of these observers have a speed-dial or dead-man’s switch for contacting a civil rights attorney at the very least. I know there’s been a huge amount of dollars flooding into these civil rights legal groups in the area.
