    Read excerpt

    NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Greg Bovino knows Minneapolis is a problem. The former CBP sector chief, who now styles himself “The Commander,” burst into the limelight last year with a series of city operations that ratcheted up in their level of aggression and violence — Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, New Orleans, and more, culminating in Minneapolis’ Operation Metro Surge. At an event hosted by the New York Young Republicans in Manhattan on Thursday night, Bovino was alternately braggadocious and def

    Exclusive: Commerce Overruled Treasury Concerns in Push to Narrow Census Count (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Before the Trump administration issued its rule aiming to reshape the Census around accruing political power for the right, it had a problem: internal dissent. Per records obtained by TPM, the Treasury Department pushed back on a portion of the rule that contains some of the proposal’s furthest-reaching ambitions. The Trump administration wants to change what the Census means by “usual residence.” In the past, the Census has defined a respondent’s residence as where the person might “live and sl

    National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, the Trump White House’s memo directing federal law enforcement to consider progressive beliefs as indicators of domestic terrorism, has done a lot of things. It’s brought a broad conspiracy case against nonviolent protestors in Minneapolis, netted half-century sentences on terrorism charges for a Texas anti-ICE protest that turned violent, and sparked what one former counterterrorism prosecutor described to TPM as a COINTELPRO-like law enforcement war

    Trump Admin Officially Moves to Reshape National Political Power With New Changes to 2030 Census (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A version of a federal rule proposing to exclude certain noncitizens from being counted in the 10-year Census was published to the federal register this morning, and is more aggressive in several ways than the draft version first revealed in full last month by TPM.
