This is terrifying
Presumably, the first Avelo jet had picked up some ICE detainees in Reno before flying to Las Vegas.
ICE keeps detainees shackled during flight at the ankles and wrists. They can't raise their hands.
If the cabin lost pressure, did the masks drop? Did they just hang there, in front of their faces?

"Epstein survivors have confirmed with democrats in congress that they participated in a massive Biden-era investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators, but Trump and Pam Bondi closed it."

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

TWO QUESTIONS FOR AMERICA
1. Do you agree that a child rapist can’t be POTUS?
2. If so, why do you not support an immediate DOJ and FBI investigation to determine if Donald Trump committed the same crime that two of his closest friends for 17 years committed thousands of times?
