You keep talking as if they are just witnesses to a crime that won’t testify. It is far, far more than that.

Federal authorities blocked the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from the crime scene. They gatherer evidence from the crime scene while the BCA went to a judge force access to the scene and even got a search warrant. Now they have contaminated the crime scene and are withholding gathered evidence from the local authorities.

Now you consider this in the context of a person doing this. Let’s say you kill someone and claim self defense. When the police show up to investigate the death, your friends block the police from the scene, going so far as to ignore a signed warrant. Your buddies then take all the evidence they collected while the cops were getting their warrant and transport it and you to another state so the cops can’t talk to you or see the evidence. Do you think the cops would consider your buddies guilty of a crime?

This isn’tjust refusing to cooperate. DHS/ICE took evidence from the crime scene and is refusing to turn it over. They also blocked local law enforcement access to the scene. This is at minimum obstruction.

Cool. I’m a ruggedly handsome, millionaire, mystery writer who solves crimes with the NYPD and is banging e really hot homicide detective.

I’m in a very rural part of the USA. My electric, telephone(landlines which I don’t have), and internet are all coops. They are all very efficient and inexpensive. I’m very happy with them.

Per the article they are working on that, which is good since cattle farming is not exactly eco friendly.

The researchers are currently investigating the use of other metals with this nanocluster fabrication technique. They are also testing natural polymers as more abundant replacements for bovine proteins to facilitate potential manufacturing.

Newsom says he’s eager to pitch a big tent for the Democratic Party, declaring that he welcomes the likes of former US senator Joe Manchin as well as New York’s socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani in the fold. “I want it to be the Manchin to Mamdani party,” Newsom said in November.

Newsom can fuck right the hell off. Manchin represents everything that is wrong with the Democratic party and so, apparently, does Newsom.

I think they are going as often as they can. There are only four computers that they and all the 535 Senators/Reps are allowed to use to view the documents, so scheduling limits how much time any one of them can go.

Now knowing this, I have to ask who else in congress is using up computer access time and not talking about what they’ve learned? Are there members scheduling time for the sole purpose of limiting the access time of people like Ro and Massie?

They need to make sure they have operations everywhere in the ten months. Can’t risk people not being scared to vote.

Security by obscurity is not really a good strategy. Lemmy is small potatoes, sure. But that just means they can devote a small number of assets to effectively monitor it.

…it’s safe to say that Pam Bondi’s DoJ did not put its best and brightest on this (admittedly gargantuan) undertaking

Actually they did. It’s just that their best and brightest are fairly dim.

If you haven’t seen it, here is a link to Jon Oliver’s piece about Schumer and the Bailey’s and how the imaginary swing voters he bases his policy decisions on are really Republicans.

First, there is no reason I can see to think that ICE will follow the new laws they pass. They are not following the law now. Second, why would cameras make a difference? We have clear video evidence in at least two murders committed by ICE and there has been now action taken to prosecute or even reprimand the murderers.

The only viable option for the democrats in Congress is to use the GOP playbook and extort the administration by shutting the government down until they comply.

Google told the BBC the Commission’s decision was “wrong” and it would appeal.

Have they ever actually paid a fine like this? It’s great that the commission set this fine, but I’m willing to bet doughnuts to dollars that the fine is cut to hundreds of millions or less on the appeal.

AP shared the details of Castañeda Mondragón’s injuries with Dr. Lindsey C. Thomas, a board-certified forensic pathologist who worked as a medical examiner in Minnesota for more than 30 years. She agreed with the assessment of hospital staff.

“I am pretty sure a person could not get these kinds of extensive injuries from running into a wall,” Thomas said, adding that she would need to see the CT scans to make a more definitive finding.

“I almost think one doesn’t have to be a physician to conclude that a person can’t get skull fractures on both the right and left sides of their head and from front to back by running themselves into a wall,” she said.

So was the ICE agent dumb enough to think this was a believable story or did they just not give a fuck if anyone believed it or not? It could really go either way.

The nurses interviewed by AP said they felt intimidated by ICE’s presence in the critical care unit and had even been told to avoid a certain bathroom to minimize encounters with officers. They said staff members are using an encrypted messaging app to compare notes and share information out of fear that the government might be monitoring their communications.

Welcome to Trump’s AmeriKKKa.

It’s good to see all this come out, but I bet they don’t get more than a slap on the wrist that they’ll write off as a cost of doing business and then just keep doing the same sleazy shit.

Yep. In the words of George R. R. Martin

“You can write the most detailed, vivid description of an ax entering a skull, and nobody will say a word in protest. But if you write a similarly detailed description of a penis entering a vagina, you get letters from people saying they’ll never read you again. What the hell? Penises entering vaginas bring a lot more joy into the world than axes entering skulls.”

Good point. You’re probably right. Even the NRA released a statement about Pretii’s murder .

Billy has a much better chance of survival due to his skin color.

That depends. Does Billy have an accent?

What about Renee Good?! Shouldn’t they be demanding investigations into ALL the ICE murders and assorted criminal acts?

I’ll bet it looked somewhat similar to this but a little more zoomed in.
