"If you keep pushing the masses like this, they will blow up, and it will be the predictable consequence of secret police engaging in lawless oppression. When people no longer feel that the law protects them or their community, but is instead a threat, how do you expect them to act?"

DHS has labeled leakers “a threat” to national security and is pushing to prosecute them.

Yet much of what the public knows about DHS and its agencies, like ICE, is thanks to whistleblowers.

The decision could provide a roadmap for other courts to scrutinize both the legality and the motives behind the department’s demands.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.
