- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanI was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanCorporatist fascism, plain and simple. DHS is trying to get tech companies to hand over data on Trump critics. This is unconstitutional, and Congress must shut it down, before we turn into East Germany. techcrunch.com/2026/02/03/h...
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanIsraeli airstrikes killed at least 21 Palestinians, including children, across Gaza today. Israel has killed over 500 Palestinians since the U.S.-brokered so-called ceasefire went into effect last October.

- Reposted by Brent E. Huffman“The administration is telling us what their long game is, which is to treat women’s bodies as commodities and to create laws to exert control over these commodities."
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanJeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark sent a tip to the FBI accusing Trump of authorizing his murder: “I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.“

- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanBezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanThis is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanHow did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed? That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.
- Reposted by Brent E. Huffman“The main event is this: the world is building optionality away from U.S. policy and platform dependence. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it — because it’s showing up in procurement decisions, supply chains, defense budgets, and capital flows”
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanRep. Morrison on conditions at Whipple: "She said, 'they are treating us like animals in here. The women that are in this cell with me, we slept on a cold concrete floor last night. We were begging for a blanket, & guards were cruel'... we have to resolve that every single person deserves dignity"
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanTo all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanIf they are truly "only after dangerous criminals" ICE should not be able to lay a hand on ANYONE unless they have a warrant for that person. Random abductions of US citizens should be punishable. ICE should be held accountable for bodily injury, damage to property and loss of life. ICE OUT NOW!

- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanBlack History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.
- Reposted by Brent E. Huffman“Unfortunately, Liam is not the only child subjected to this treatment. Let me be clear: this ruling does not erase the trauma inflicted on Liam or his family.” Thank you for all your work lifting up this family, Rep. @crockett.house.gov.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanWe know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.
- Reposted by Brent E. Huffman5 year old Liam is home, according to @ilhanmn.bsky.social and @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social!
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanSitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers. The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second. And the Hunter hunters are silent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanKristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino. They must all resign and be held accountable.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanIt’s just nuts to me that senior DOJ officials are on social media all day shitposting and trolling. The unprofessionalism and psychosis is unfathomable to anyone who has ever worked for any DOJ agency - especially the posts about pending investigations and prosecutions.
- Thank you to Ama Vanniarachchy at Ceylon Today for the wonderful feature story about my work in #Yemen. This story is an update on my work documenting the work of Yemeni women to save the threatened #heritage of their country: ceylontoday.lk/2026/01/24/s...
- Thank you @medillschool.bsky.social @buffett.northwestern.edu and the Northwestern Alumnae Association for your support of this project!
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanI’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country." (H/T @katiecouric.bsky.social )
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanBovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.
- Reposted by Brent E. Huffman-Bovino will leave MN and may lose his job -Noem will face a Senate hearing and possible impeachment -Senate Dems will oppose unconditional extension of DHS funding The pushback is working. We must keep standing up and speaking out against Trump's regime.
- Reposted by Brent E. Huffman“LET US OUT!” women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc. In our name🇺🇸
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanThis can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanAmazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanI won’t stop reporting on the Epstein survivors fight for transparency, no matter how loud the headlines get or how many they roll out.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanThis sums it up.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanIs the government ever going to release the name of the masked agent who killed Alex Pretti or are we going to continue to have a federal secret police in this country?
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanThe killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
- What an incredible night! Thank you to all who braved arctic temperatures to see award winning #documentaries created in my Documenting #Carceral Injustice Program at the @medillschool.bsky.social and hear stories of #wrongfulconviction in Illinois.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanMinneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanAlex Pretti was a great American. The people defending his killers are not.
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanAlex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
- Reposted by Brent E. HuffmanAlex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.
