By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

this country needs UN observers
Please read this first-person essay from Lanae Tipton, an incarcerated journalist in Texas with a desperate plea for air conditioning in prisons. She’s watched women seize on the floor from the heat. As one prison staffer said, “I vomited blood.”

Does Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon know the difference between federal election monitors and observers? As head of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, which oversees the federal elections monitoring program, she definitely should. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Is DOJ laying the groundwork to expand the powers of its 1,000 election monitors?
Assistant AG Dhillon claimed she plans to deploy federal “observers” across the country — an authority she does not have.

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1)

Most observers see Bashar al-Assad as an amoral monster who murdered his own people. But X user @realtulsigabbard isn't so sure.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...
