WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration secretly reimposed a policy limiting Congress members’ access to immigration detention facilities a day after a federal immigration officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis, attorneys for several congressional Democrats said Monday in asking a federal judge to intervene.
Three Democratic members of Congress from Minnesota were blocked from visiting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility near Minneapolis on Saturday, three days after an ICE officer shot and killed U.S. citizen Renee Good in the city.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., temporarily blocked ICE from enforcing policies limiting Congress members’ access to immigration detention facilities. In a court filing on Monday, plaintiffs’ lawyers asked Cobb to hold an emergency hearing and decide if the duplicate notice policy violates her order. Cobb scheduled a hearing for Wednesday.
Congress members have a right to visit and inspect any government jail or prison. It’s been a law for over 100 years.
Organize, form a militia, march to the ICE facility, force entry, release all detained people contained within, then burn the facility to the ground. Repeat until ICE completely melted.
Trump is looking to push this into an armed conflict so he can invoke martial law and cancel the 2026 midterms. The only way to save democracy is to not fight. We can get the entrenched child rape apologists out of their seats and put in a class of politicians who will be scared of the raging public sentiment against Trump.
As much as armed conflict sounds inviting, it would play to the strength of the bigger organization with better logistics so the People will lose that fight. And bashing ICE skulls doesn’t deter from other psychopaths looking to kill signing up with ICE. Hunt ICE where they sleep. Keep them from rest. Make them paranoid and scared from sheer exhaustion. Passive pacification will then trigger them to have an armed response which will massively polarize much of the People into dissolving ICE.
I know you mean well, what you’re saying is just the escalation of “if we try to do [good thing] they’ll just do [thing they’re already going to do]”
There are only two options, Americans go to war against the government, or America goes to war against everyone else. Either way democracy has failed. There will be no 2026 elections. When he illegally cancels the election by executive order and Congress does nothing, like has been happening for the entirety of 2025, who will stop him? No one.
You can rise up now, you can wait for the elections to be cancelled to rise up, or you can never rise up… always postponing your personal red line. No matter what you do, stop impeding other leftists who have chosen to act from acting. We need at least this most basic level of solidarity where we don’t stop each other from fighting fascism.

This is absolutely the plan, and he’s going to do it no matter what. He can’t afford to let the House flip, and have a new crop of Progressive, Democratic Reps screaming for MAGA blood, take charge of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers. We have NEVER suspended elections in this country, not even during the Civil War or WW2. That’s a BRIGHT RED LINE, that must never be crossed. It is the official end of American democracy, and ends our obligations to this government.
Politicians are the most cowardly animal in the human jungle. When they start to feel fear, they surrender immediately. A perfect example is the Epstein Files. They couldn’t get enough votes for a long time, but when a few MAGAs crossed the aisle, and refused to be intimidated, the rest of MAGA became afraid of being saddled with accusations of covering for Pedophiles, and they ALL voted for it. Even Trump had to go for it.
We have to make them feel like that about Martial Law, and cancelling elections. We have to make it VERY clear to all MAGAs that is is beyond unacceptable to support that, and the personal consequences will be far, far worse than just losing their jobs.
We are starting to see more serious cracks in MAGA. This nonsense about Greenland, and ICE, and Venezuela, and Iran, etc. is starting to get to them. They don’t support any of it, and every day they are forced to defend the indefensible, just to protect the MAGA Grand Extortion Scheme, that doesn’t help them, just the Sociopathic Oligarchs. They have to take the heat, while Trump and his buddies light cigars with embezzled $100 bills. I heard one MAGA Rep say that while we will never hear it from them, ALL of his colleagues are really upset about this mess.
Call your MAGA reps and senators, and tell them you’re a big MAGA supporter, but you didn’t sign up for this at all. Make them believe that their constituents have their backs. Give them the courage to resist MAGA’s worst instincts, and hold the line on elections. We need to tell them that if he cancels elections, we absolutely need House MAGAs to vote for impeachment, and Senate MAGAs to vote for conviction. It’s not about preserving their party any more, it’s about preserving America. Do they want to be the people whom world history will record as giving away America, and the world, to traitors, rapists, and pedophiles?
Make them fear us more than MAGA, and they will dance to our tune, and they are already getting nervous and warming up.
I think the US way beyond the point of peaceful protest. You have 40% (which also happen to be the better armed portion of the population) approving of a dictator turning your democracy into a dictatorship.
Trump (and his much more dangerous puppet masters) have made it evidently clear that they ignore both congress and judges at their will. Congress and senate at the same time are filled with representatives presenting the elites profiting from Trumps coup, not you.
Short of system change I don’t think you’ll get out of this.
I sincerely hope it’s not still at 40%. That’s fucking depressing to think about.
How is this not already an armed conflict?
He’s going to come up with some excuse no matter how flimsy and by then it’ll be too close to the elections. Doing it now means that there are still 11 months which would be more than enough time to erode support for it.
He literally CAMPAIGNED on “no more elections”, why does anyone think there will be a 2026 election.
He’ll illegally decree there will be no election, Congress will do nothing. This has been going on a whole year now, get with the program.
At thte very least, the GOP has been losing some key elections in 2025, some they didn’t even expect to lose. Maybe some people could theorize these as “tactical losses”, but you may be better off not incorrectly viewing these idiots as masterminds. They bank on complicity, not tactics.
I don’t think they’re tactical losses… But I do think it’s going to force their hand into cancelling the election since they can SEE the effect of allowing democracy to survive.
It’s either them or democracy and they’re never picking anyone but themselves.
or that’s what Trump is hoping you’ll think and that you’ll comply.
Then start organizing now for when that doesn’t work.

Dudes, you need to form your own armies and push your way around. It’s the only language these goons speak. They thrive in the dark. Expose them to the light of day and they’ll melt into nothingness. But you have to come prepared. A “court order” means nothing to these people, you need to act accordingly. High road leads off a cliff.
A mass armed peaceful assertion of rights. I like it!
