“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) signed off on a potential payday for Republican senators whose phone records were obtained in a Justice Department investigation.”

The new law lets senators sue for major damages if the Justice Department obtains their phone records without telling them.

My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law:

On second review, this looks to be just smoke grenades / flashbang. Bovino has been carrying around a CS gas canister in his hand though, so not ruling out that gas was deployed elsewhere this morning—it's been incredibly chaotic, with agents attacking people in multiple locations.
Federal immigration agents have deployed gas in Little Village, on 26th between Komensky and Pulaski, per videos shared online after 11 am this morning.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

These operations would be unlawful even if those murdered had all been criminals. But it's important to show just how much deception is involved from start to finish in this gruesome charade.
The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.
They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.
