I know a little place where the ingredients are always fresh. You can get a mega-burrito and a Dos Equis to wash it down for not much more than 10 bucks. If you're in a bad mood when you arrive, you won't be for long, because the workers smile, they laugh, they seem like they're having so much fun making your food just the way you like it that you can't help but start to feel like you're having a little fun yourself.

So you would guarantee to the American public that ICE will not be around polling locations or voting locations in November? I can't guarantee that an ICE agent won't be around a polling location in November. I mean, that's frankly a very silly hypothetical question, but what I can tell you is I haven't heard the president discuss any formal plans to put ICE outside of polling locations, replied Leavitt. It's a disingenuous question.

"Freedom from fear" was the fourth of four freedoms defining democracy President Franklin D. Roosevelt framed in his rally cry to fight fascist conquest from without. It is openly debated whether America is now fighting a fascist takeover from within. It may be debated, but only because the would-be dictators of the world will always disguise their plays for power in the mock forms of democratic legality-by declaring a fake emergency, attacking political rivals through trumped-up legal charges or holding rigged elections.

She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. In a follow-up tweet, Blume added that Blackwell had called the hearing because he was frustrated that in 5 Habeas cases he was presiding over, he felt his orders were being ignored, leaving immigrant detainees unconstitutionally locked up for days. Then, Blume said, Le admitted that the government's lawyer just cannot keep up.

The most telling scenes for Andrew Hazzard are the abandoned cars in the middle of the streets. On a recent Friday morning, the Sahan Journal reporter was out in south Minneapolis, where he lives, looking for federal immigration activity. "I know they're very active in the morning," he said. Over the past several weeks, Hazzard has noticed trends, but the one that encapsulates what he says "feels like an occupation" is the abandoned vehicles.

The US Senate approved a major government funding package on Friday, after the killings of two US citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis upended spending talks and gave out-of-power rare leverage over Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign. In a 71-29 tally, the Senate overcame last-minute opposition from a handful of Republicans to rally behind a deal the president struck with Democrats, an unusual display of bipartisanship as tensions rise nationally over the presence of ICE in American cities.

The word that comes to my mind is dissidence. If we want to understand why the whistleblowing, camera-wielding people of Minneapolis have caused the Trump administration-and Donald Trump himself-to flinch, I believe we need some added history, and a bigger map. What we've been watching is part of a long, established tradition-one that might help Americans unlock a different kind of future.

Since the beginning of January, thousands of ICE agents have been deployed to the city. Confusion, violence and chaos followed. Two people have been killed, hundreds have disappeared but that's not the full story. Because thousands of residents in the city have been mobilising. Annie Kelly spoke to five people living in Minneapolis about how they have been taking on ICE and the consequences.

Minnesota, we've been through a lot, Klobuchar said in a video posted on X on Thursday morning, calling out political violence across the state, including the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents dispatched to the area by Donald Trump. She continued: We cannot sugar coat how hard this is, but in these moments of enormous difficulty, we find strength in our Minnesota values of hard work, freedom and simple decency and good will.

Nobody can see those videos and say that that man was assaulting ICE agents. He was backpedaling the whole time, a woman was violently shoved to the ground. He was shoved, he was pepper sprayed, and then taken to the ground. If we're going to say that he was assaulting the police, I think that leads to more distrust of ICE, Paul said.

In mid-January, I gathered my staff of 10 for a training session on what to do if ICE agents showed up at my restaurant. It came after days of hearing how concerned the team was following news of an increased presence of ICE agents in Portland. This is not the kind of information we, as restaurant workers, are accustomed to needing to know and relay. This is all so new. We're entering the unknown. And people are scared of the unknown.

The matchups are set and the transformation is underway at Levi's Stadium. Plans are turning into preparation for Super Bowl LX and the Valley Transportation Authority is ready to take people where they need to go. VTA has been holding trainings for operators and maintaining the fleet of busses and light rails for the event. Twenty-two extra trains will run Super Bowl Sunday to help move an expected VTA record 25,000 fans on gameday.

Good morning. Partly sunny with a high around 43 today. The National Weather Service has issued a cold weather advisory beginning at 8 PM tonight. Temperatures will plunge to a low near 11 that wind will make feel even colder. As you may have heard, a major snowstorm is forecast for this weekend, with heavy snow beginning Saturday night. Enjoy the snow while it's beautiful, take care when shoveling, and I'll see you on the other side Monday.

It is utterly inevitable that when the U.S. government floods the streets with a new crop of hastily trained and prepared agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and give those people arbitrary quotas to achieve in meting out government brutality against illegal immigrants, that ordinary American citizens are going to get swept up into the net of pain.

A letter writer takes issue with the GOP Chairman of Santa Cruz's lament that Gavin Newsom and California Democrats have sabotaged state legislation that would have eliminated taxes on tips for low-wage heroes like servers and bartenders. Her complaint is that Republicans blocked legislative efforts to raise California's minimum wage, implying that if Republicans really cared about workers, they would support a higher minimum wage.
