L’historien Terrence Peterson raconte dans un livre, sur la base de nombreuses archives, la "pacification" conduite par l’armée française🇫🇷 en #Algérie pour tenter d’effacer le désastre Diên Biên Phu en 1954. Une méthode qui inspirera durablement d’autres armées, dont le #Portugal et les #États-Unis.

Really a wild thing to have watched right wing media manufacture consent for these pardons. In the wake of the Capitol riot, there was near-unanimous agreement that it was wrong. Four years later, the participants are “political prisoners” getting White House pardons

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
