Two men, charged with assaulting agents in ICE shooting, re-detained after judge orders release
Defense attorneys cited photos in challenging the government’s account of when the agent fired a shot that wounded the fleeing suspect.

Use of warrants is already the law, filming doesn’t address misconduct, and you left an exception for the masking which I’m sure won’t swallow the rule — tremendous stuff
Sen and House Dems lay out their “common sense” demands for DHS funding, including:
1) no roving patrols
2) use of body cameras
3) use of judicial warrants
4) IDs & no masks “except in extraordinary and unusual circumstances.”

Counterpoint: Democrats want ICE razed more thoroughly than Carthage in 146 BC, the ideological territory in which it operates salted so thoroughly it never grows again, and every single one of these goons in front of a judge to face justice for their crimes.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Watching elected Ds use the Epstein Files as a punchline instead of treating it as a nightmare children lived through and will forever be scarred by is unbelievable. These victims had the guts to come forward and speak about dangerous and powerful individuals on the record and nothing happened
No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you

I will reiterate again, Jack Lew personally intervened to block these photographs from circulation.
The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.
