Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop?

Hey MAGA:
You guys said that Democrats were going after your 2A rights.
Last I checked, Trump, Noem, Patel, & Bovino are Republicans.
That tyrannical government you talked about is here.

Trump administration goes after Second Amendment rights in justifying Minneapolis shooting
A number of pro-gun rights Republicans pushed back on the administration's argument that Alex Pretti was dangerous because he had a gun. Pretti was legally licensed to carry one.

5 Agents feared for their lives after they disarmed one man while he was on the ground— so they shot him in the back.
Impeach and remove Noem now…👇

At this point most of it is dementia but he's always been profoundly ignorant. His only 'superpower' is scamming the credulous. He got into Wharton because somebody owed his brother (whom he later persecuted) a favor.

This is how the United States ends. Not in the dark but out in clear daylight. If DHS is allowed to coverup this murder the same way they did Renee Good the rule of law is dead. So is the United States. When murders go unpunished we can no longer call ourselves a free country #ProudBluer
MS NOW: "I'm just getting something handed to me -- a statement from DHS -- that it will investigate the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old protester by its officers rather than the FBI. So they're gonna be investigating that which they already issued a summary about. It would seem like a closed book."

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
