White House propaganda.
The White House manipulated this image to deceive the public. Same moment, altered expression, manufactured narrative. That’s intentional.
And yes, it looks racist. Using a doctored image of a Black woman to signal criminality isn’t subtle. Expect more of this.

The Trump administration tried to detain two of the arrested church protesters charged under a little-used provision of the FACE Act but got shut down by a judge. One of the lawyers prosecuting the case is a former Republican congressional candidate.

If ICE truly were targeting "the worst of the worst" and not, you know, deliberately brutalizing innocent families with children, they'd rush to correct all the stories like this one, apologizing and insisting it's not what they're really doing.
They don't because this is deliberate. This is it.

The district court pretty quickly rejects the absurd claim from prosecutors that protesting during a church service (charged conspiracy against rights) is a "crime of violence."
