- Reposted by Leo C. SteinA white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens. He shot and missed one + attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police. Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

- Reposted by Leo C. SteinPopping out of the vehicle guns drawn and pointing them at a legal observer exercising her constitutional rights. Everything about this is reckless, dangerous, the opposite of law & order and keeping anyone safe… how do people see this and not see masked secret police style terror on US streets
- This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)
- Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: - modern art history - real analysis (when I realized I was a physicist and not a mathematician) - digital signal processing - intro chem lab at friggin 7ish in the morning - general relativity (what I work on now!)

- Reposted by Leo C. SteinA Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

- Reposted by Leo C. SteinVideo shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history. “There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.” My latest: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/28/i...

- Reposted by Leo C. SteinBREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

- Reposted by Leo C. SteinThis is extrajudicial murder. It’s a paramilitary execution of an unarmed civilian in cold blood. Horrifying.
- Reposted by Leo C. SteinBy who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
- Meanwhile, in things that don't really matter... my #emacs patches were finally accepted (first proposed in October): cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.g...
- Abolish ICE is the only sane approach. Not just abolish — everyone who worked for ICE needs to be put on trial. Jailed for their wrongdoing. Shunned from every sector of life.
- Reposted by Leo C. SteinIn October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

- There is no way to "reform" this. ICE must be abolished, and every single person who worked for them must be prosecuted.

- Reposted by Leo C. SteinMinnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."
