According to the indictment, the protesters blockaded ICE facilities, followed ICE vehicles, and coordinated their activities in various group chats. (The phrase "group chat" is used 31 times throughout the indictment.) But reporters repeatedly pressed federal officials on whether the Minneapolis anti-ICE protesters indicted had ever actually injured an officer-and Rosen could only insist that that wasn't the point. "Whether or not they actually at the end of the day caused bodily harm is not the measure of whether or not they committed a serious federal crime," Rosen said.

Megamot Shalom has few known employees. But one individual deeply connected to far-right politics reportedly sat on its board. As of 2016, Rabbi Ben Packer was listed as a board member of Megamot Shalom on Israel’s public charity registry. Born in the United States, Packer—who says he was a “rabbi on campus” at Duke University and the University of North Carolina—now runs an ultranationalist youth hostel in Jerusalem and lives in a West Bank settlement. He has boasted of his friendship with Stephen Miller, the Trump adviser behind many of the president’s most controversial immigration policies.
“They asked me: ‘Have you ever participated in a protest? What are your opinions of violent protest? Have you ever participated in a protest that turned violent?’” said Kalman-Lamb, whose Canary Mission profile shows that over a year ago, he tweeted a selfie in support of a University of Toronto student encampment—an encampment the website refers to as “pro-Hamas.” “We have evidence that you’ve endorsed violent protest,” he remembered the officer saying. Kalman-Lamb’s Canary Mission profile characterizes the student encampments of spring 2024 as violent. “Then they asked me if I’d traveled to about a dozen countries,” he told Mother Jones. “They were all Muslim-majority nations, and Israel.” “I’m 99 percent sure it’s because of Canary Mission,” Kalman-Lamb said.

ICE claims to follow Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which would require Öztürk to have the same access to medical care as everyone else. Denying Öztürk her medication could potentially impede her disability civil rights (failures to provide ICE detainees access to care have been the subject of complaints under Section 504 in the past).

“Sports? The super what? I didn’t know there was a Super Bowl. My dear friend, you are asking the wrong person. I never heard of a Super Bowl. I’m so far from it that you really shouldn’t ask me. It’s as if I would ask you what is happening at the planet Mars. The president will watch? The president knows something about football? Everything you tell me now, I hear for the first time in my life. Sunday will be like any other day, doing my work.”
“Palantir is here to disrupt,” he continued. “And, when it’s necessary, to scare our enemies, and on occasion, kill them.” (Palantir did not respond to a request for comment.)
