“Improper motives”… (snorting)
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon said Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent letter to Minnesota reinforced unease about how the Justice Department is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the administration’s campaign may be driven by improper motives.
Bondi’s ‘blackmail’ letter to Minnesota deepens concerns over DOJ’s voter roll motives, federal judge says
The judge reiterated the DOJ's case against Oregon will be dismissed entirely.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

House Dems should get themselves to Minneapolis. Immediately. They should be on the street themselves, cameras out recording, observing & putting their bodies on the line. They should be standing in solidarity w/ people of MN. Daring the regime to assault them, too www.thebulwark.com/p/our-gettys...

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

I like the word "fuck" and I'm all for using it when the situation calls for it, but I also like the words "impeach" and "hold accountable."
And I realize we don't have the majority necessary to impeach, but do we not say words anymore because we don't have the majority? SAY WORDS.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

This is a task for all of us, for many institutions, including the courts, state and local govt, civil society, and the private sector. But it’s above all a task for CONGRESS. The simple fact is that DHS, ICE, and CBP are creatures of Congress. www.thebulwark.com/p/honor-pret...

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic
"The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."
