Norman Ornstein: A chilling story leading the Minneapolis Star Tribune this morning. 3/26. [View all]

ICE agents followed Minnesota Democratic lawmakers who had been critical of ICE in the state, stopping multiple times to take pictures of their houses. This is what a police state does

Added: *According to reporting from the Minnesota Star Tribune, DFL Rep. Brad Tabke had his license plate run by federal agents before an SUV later pulled up outside his Shakopee home in January. He says agents visibly photographed his house. The same sequence allegedly happened again in February, followed by repeated sightings of agents near his home.
