I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West.
ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Hearing that the Coast Guard is being told to deprioritize and de-emphasize the Search and Rescue mission.
That’s right, you know, one of the main missions of the service since the very beginning?
There are more than 3,500 lives saved per year by the CG.

Lots of protests on No Kings Day (Presidents' Day).

Fascinating how many liberals want to accept the unproved premise that we are less happy and justify it.
I reject even the premise. Self-reporting is not a reliable measure.
Considering how conservatives *act* like bitter, angry people, I'd think they aren't as happy as they say.

Literally, this can be explained in one simple way: Conservative women are told they're failures unless they plaster on a smile and pretend everything is great, even when it's not.
Liberal women aren't so oppressed and feel free to want more.
